@DavidLammy a blather of blubber on #r4today A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

@LukeONien You were great today. Well done and thanks for a great season.

Forgettable moment: Luke O’Nien puts a free header out for a ‘THROW IN’ #SAFC

Haha! Comments off. @AdamFulwell_

@DougieCritchley A strange way for Alonso to announce his retirement from football management.

Fair play Chelsea, Xabi Alonso is an amazing hire and one I didn’t think was possible given their recent troubles. It’s a fascinating decision from Alonso… one that effectively rules him out of the Liverpool job for the foreseeable future. Liverpool’s decision to not go for him when he’s available… huge call. Can’t wait to see him in the Premier League next year!

@hcpsafc Thanks!

@JamesEsses These are misogynistic acts. Sexualised parodies of womanhood.

As if we weren’t already enough of a laughing stock on the world stage, the UK has chosen a drag queen to announce our scores at tonight’s Eurovision.

@offgriddesigner Looks like he's wearing his school PE shorts too. Look at me, aren't I young and virile. How trite!

As a runner I can confirm that he hasn’t had his trainers on in years

@GeoffNorcott At least Boris took the piss by getting dropped off by car then jogging the last 25metres.

He looks like a bloke on his way to the football who went for a piss then the lads drove off for a laugh.

@paulabearthe2nd Pointless pointing.

Cue Andy Burnham -riding a bike -visiting a school -going the pub (obvs) - sleeves up in Factory -talking more Mancunian -wearing ‘working class stuff’ -watching the footy What’s on your Andy Burnham bingo card?

@VictoriaCoren Don't lie. You've already done it yesterday.

I am hosting Have I Got News For You tonight! Ian‘s guest is Bella Hull and Paul‘s guest is Karl Turner MP. There’s something for everyone, by which I mean, everyone who is interested in the Labour Party or football. 9pm on BBC One.

@AaronBastani Prospect seen running, appearing young and virile. How trite!

Burnham wearing a Hafnia Everton shirt? It’s over for Reform.

@Philip_RJ89 Will we get the participation fee or will it go to Monaco? I think we should get it as we'll get saddled with him if he gets injured.

Great to see Simon Adingra in here. Must’ve caught the eye down at Monaco — anyone wondering whether he might still have a future at #SAFC or whether we might move him on permanently this summer?

@PolitlcsUK How trite!

🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham goes for a run after announcing his plans to return to Parliament

@CarolineLucas @Official_MRLP You're on very thin ice if you think you can do a deal(that'll be honoured) with Burnham on PR. Stand honourably & give electorate choice. Have you noticed @EdwardJDavey never mentions PR now that @LibDems have got their snouts in the first past the post system.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@DrNeilStone Your humour is infectious!

The worst part of Covid was that 20 million people died

@PatrickChristys He's got the air of Hancock about him.

If you listen closely you can hear the bottom of a barrel being scraped

@lembitopik If there's any change in Labour leadership this year, I think the clamour for an early GE will be overwhelming & irresistible & hey presto Farage will be in. Starmer's a poor leader & worse man, but ironically, he's their best chance of keeping Reform at bay.

If Andy Burnham wins the by-election in Manchester, he’ll be Prime Minister this year. If he loses, Nigel Farage will be Prime Minister in 2029. This by-election therefore defines the future of Labour, Conservatives, Reform and Britain

@DanSFC94 Fair play!

Ultimately, if we get kicked it out it’s because the offense is severe enough to warrant it. As long we get to see the evidence, we can’t really complain. We will get what we deserve in this case - whichever way it goes. #SaintsFC

@Anna_Soubry Behave woman.

I am deleting this I despair at what our country has become. And it all stems from the #Brexit #Referendum

@AndyBurnhamGM Don't forget your parachute!

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS
