Sutton Coldfield

So what will happen in "ungovernable" #Birmingham now? My thoughts: convention states the largest party gets first go at forming a majority. That's Reform ➡️ they have only one viable ally, the Conservatives. 37 seats. What would happen?

The thing I don't understand about #Burnham is how anyone falls for him. He's was a signed up Blairite when it was convenient, now he wants us to believe he's to the left of Corbyn 🤣 he is after all the only Health Sec to ever PRIVATIZE an NHS hospital. Not even Tories did that

@AlexMillerCode @PinkNews So my sexuality should determine my politics? Odd.

@Sutton_Cold @PinkNews Yes.

A newly elected Reform UK councillor has resigned after it was revealed he is also a gay p*rn performer, but the party defended him, saying: “He has not broken the law.” Read more ➡️ bit.ly/43aNFPu 📷 Wikimedia Commons, St Helens Borough Council

@GBPolitcs @danwootton Breaking: woman looks from window... Stay tuned for updates

🚨PICTURED: Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin watching the "Unite the Kingdom" event [@danwootton]

@TheEngineerXC @PolitlcsUK Clue.... He does not. He's pursuing a personal grudge and taking us all along for the ride.

@PolitlcsUK If Rupert genuinely cares about the direction of the country, he should encourage tactical voting. If this enables a Burnham victory, I'll never offer my support to Restore again.

🚨 NEW: Rupert Lowe has confirmed Restore Britain will stand a candidate in the Makerfield by-election

@TheWinterRoad @PolitlcsUK If... IF?!

@PolitlcsUK If Restore lose and Burnham wins, they'll lose so much goodwill and support. It'll greatly damage the party and movement. It's an insane gamble.

@PolitlcsUK Andy Burnham will send Rupert a few bottles in thanks. Lowe is either game playing in the most important by-election of the century or urs true what the say about him... Establishment stooge.

@GBNEWS I'll save you the click. It goes from 5% chance of a Labour win to landslide with Burnham. Polling suggests Burnham is the only Labour figure that can beat Reform.

I've crunched the numbers on the Makerfield by-election. Here's my honest verdict - John Curtice gbnews.com/politics/uk/re…

@AlexMillerCode @PinkNews 🤔 really?

@PinkNews the scandal isn't that he did porn. The scandal is that he's a Reform councillor.

@DPJHodges I suspect they will, a paper candidate. They won't campaign but Rupert will be determined to continue to spoil Reforms party as best he can. His lemmings will lap it up.

Up for the fight my arse. “We have consulted. After discussing it with local members we have decided our resources can be better deployed elsewhere. Restore will not be standing in Makerfield”. Watch. Pin this tweet.

@RupertLowe10 I am sure your man Andy will win without your help.

Makerfield. Restore Britain is holding a local branch meeting in the area tonight, and a decision on our next steps will be taken over the weekend. The mood with the membership locally is that we are very much up for a fight.

@petermyson @GuidoFawkes Why? He's odds on to win. Greens look like they're standing down. He's literally standing on a vote for me to sack Starmer ticket. Exactly what Reform won on last week. How's he loosing that?

@GuidoFawkes Should meet his Waterloo then

BURNHAM’S BY-ELECTION in Makerfield will take place on 18th June according to Max Kendix.

This is why Reform will struggle to win #Makesfield and why they should fear Burnham. So much of the Labour slump of late is angry lefties going Green. Andy moving Labour left reverses that and will take a lot of seats out of Reforms reach. So much depends on what Greens do.

@LeeHarris @DPJHodges Fit that into a leaflet 🤡

@DPJHodges Happy for you to give me a counter argument, but not sure that fits. If Reform win that byelection, I think Starmer will be blamed. It will be even more evidence he has made Labour completely unelectable. It might stop Andy, but it will unify the party even more against him.

Still not entirely clear what Nigel Farage's message is going to be in Makerfield. Having spent the past month saying to everyone who will listen "Vote Reform to get rid of Starmer!!!" how does he now say "Vote Reform to save Starmer!!!".

@nebx500 @RupertLowe10 He knows. That is what he wants. He's a spoiler. That's all he exists for

@RupertLowe10 You are aware that if you stop Reform beating Labour, you will forever be held responsible by them for “allowing Andy Burnham to become PM”

Ladbrokes have Restore Britain as third favourite in Makerfield ahead of the Greens, Tories and Lib Dems. Interesting.

@GoodwinMJ You need to act quickly to stop Burnham turning it into a referendum on Starmer. If he gets that narrative going you will loose. You need to point out Burnham is a carpetbagging opportunistic chancer. He doesn't care about the constituency. It's just his convient route to the top

Whoever stands in Makerfield for Reform, I & every other Reformer I know will be up there as much as we can helping to bring Andy Burnham down to earth & hand Labour ANOTHER defeat in its own backyard. Trust me, Burnham is not as popular as he thinks he is 👍

@RestoreSutton @meirionj @AndrewmitchMP @cllralexyip Restore Sutton confirming they're totally unfit for anything other than X rants. Remind me how many people you put up for election? Was it zero?

@Sutton_Cold @meirionj No doubt he looks around and sees Sutton Coldfield Tories full of wet libtards like @AndrewmitchMP and mr “shadow diversity” (until Kemi was elected when he removed that from his x profile) @cllralexyip

Quite right.

@PaulCoxComedy He presents himself as the anti Starmer candidate. Turns it into a referendum on Starmer. He wins. Reforms job is to stop the narrative becoming referendum on Starmer and turn it into a referendum on about Burnham the carpetbagger, chancer and opportunist.

Things to consider about the Makerfield constituency: -Voted 65% to leave the EU -It’s culturally right wing (concerns about immigration) -Ethnically 97% white -68% Christian, 30% atheist, 1% Muslim -Not especially deprived or poor and evenly balanced between working and middle class demographic -Makerfield is in the Wigan District and Reform UK won every single seat that was up for grabs last week Andy Burnham will have to say he is anti-establishment, which he clearly isn’t and distance himself from the labour party which is impossible. Andy Burnham is popular in the Greater Manchester area, but he’s on the left of a party which has taken a drubbing for being on the left of the people of Manchester.

People describe Reform as "fascists" in Brum because they hang flags off lampposts (daft) & talk about immigration. Meanwhile this lot actually ARE dangerous & now have seats at the table in Brum. Personally, as a gay man, I'm more worried about this lot & their stone age agenda.

@GBNEWS @tomhfh If they don't quickly make their campaign about Burnham being an entitled carpetbagger it will soon be painted as Vote Reform to save Starmer. And they'll loose... Big time.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage has said Reform UK will throw ‘everything’ at the Makerfield by-election to prevent Andy Burnham from becoming an MP and potential future Prime Minister. @tomhfh 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@GuidoFawkes If they don't quickly make the slogan of their campaign "entitled carpetbagger" then it will quickly become vite Reform to save Starmer. And they'll loose... big.

FARAGE: "We look forward to the contest and we will absolutely throw everything at it."
