@BobBlackman Oh dear what has Shameless gone and done now….from one disaster to another..

James Murray was the architect and chief defender of the disastrous family farm tax, refusing every compromise offered by the NFU and farming unions while British farms were forced to plan for closure. Now he is in charge of the NHS.

@NormanBrennan When I was an officer many years ago we were supported by the decent members of the public and we concentrated on dealing with criminals. Also making sure people on your patch were safe. I don’t know what went wrong but I presume terrible woke leadership has played a huge part

Folks what Jay says & what I’ve been saying > forever that ALL police officers should be Double Crewed; Britain is not SAFE to Patrol > ALONE an absolute FACT👇🤷‍♂️

@Iromg Manchester is £1.6 billion in debt. Told bailiffs to lay off 48.000 council tax dodgers. It’s OK though the decent working people will foot the bill as usual.

“I fixed bus fare prices in Manchester so I should be Prime Minister” ffs 🤦🏻

@87Mrdavidc @LeilaniDowding It was taken I presume by a member of the public as Lorne had to wait 15 minutes for the local Police to finish their Greggs takeaway. The store manager has said Lorne was courteous and respectful to the pondlife.

@LeilaniDowding That was clearly staged! Look at the picture. How convenient this happened when he was under investigation and even more convenient he had someone there to photograph him in a clearly staged/posed for picture.

My friend Lorne Castle tackled a shoplifter who was stealing £450 worth of goods from Castle Point shopping center in Bournemouth after abusing a security guard! Guess who’s being charged.. my friend Lorne!! It will should never hold up in court. But the process is the punishment and he has to pay 1000s in solicitors fees Men like Lorne should be rewarded not punished Castle had twice won a bravery award, including rescuing a woman from a river, and won community officer of the year award in 2021. Meanwhile in an incident prior to the theft stoped by Lorne DANIEL MEYRICK….. 37 and of Bournemouth, admitted possession of a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place after having a locking pocket knife with him in Cambridge Road, Bournemouth, on February 2. He also admitted possession of a controlled drug of Class A after being in possession of heroin at Compass Point in Hinton Road, Bournemouth on March 1. He was handed a 20-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months. thesun.co.uk/news/39125225/…

@LeeAndersonMP_ Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world Buying properties in Monaco and thereabouts, send more money dummies

It's sunk in. And?

@newsandstar I’ve heard they come to Cumbria because the Police Force is normally invisible but unfortunately for him he found one…

@LeeAndersonMP_ @reformparty_uk Well done Lee, what a picture..

The afternoon shift has arrived in Makerfield. Vote @reformparty_uk

@LeeHarris @D_Tarczynski Well done Dominik..

Keir Starmer banned @D_Tarczynski from the country to stop him speaking at Unite the Kingdom. But he forgot about the internet. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT 🔥

@ForlornHopeUK @SpeechUnion Labour heavy….

@SpeechUnion Are those running these Constabulary Dei heavy?

Chance of being arrested for exercising your right to free speech has become a ‘postcode lottery’. It has emerged that Cumbria Police detain 30 times more people than colleagues in Staffordshire under “dangerously broad powers”. Significant disparities have been identified between forces across the country over alleged “malicious communications”. Big Brother Watch (BBW) found that some constabularies make up to eight times more arrests than neighbouring forces and detain people at around twice the national average. The group obtained custody data for alleged offences recorded under Section 127 of the Communications Act, Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act, and Section 179 of the Online Safety Act. Cumbria Police recorded the highest arrest rate once the data was adjusted for population size. Figures show there were 7.7 detentions per 10,000 people — or roughly one in every 1,300 residents — across 2024–25. Alarmingly, the force made arrests for these offences at 2.5 times the national average. It also detained eight people for every one person held by neighbouring Northumbria Police. The Metropolitan Police made the highest number of arrests — 3,119 — during the same two-year period. Legal and Policy Officer at BBW has said: “Freedom of speech is a universal right in a democracy, but our research shows that it is a postcode lottery in Britain. “Where you live can dramatically affect your chances of being arrested for a speech offence, with some police forces making eight times as many arrests as their neighbours under dangerously broad powers. ”A democracy only works if everyone, from the government to the public, clearly understands what the law does and doesn’t allow. But the differences in these figures suggest that in Britain, your right to free speech often depends on where you live rather than on the law itself.” While police forces such as Cumbria insist they recognise the importance of freedom of expression and do not police lawful speech, it is increasingly obvious that free speech is becoming a postcode lottery across the country.

@NormanBrennan He’s trying to replace a twerp who was doing a job on an investigative journalist. Labour again. Is there no one decent in that party.

Folks the most Bizarre thing about Andy Burnham standing for Makerfield as MP is has he met any constituents? know their concerns; wants & needs or is this just a constituency to be used & abused for his own selfish purposes just to get what ‘He’ wants? This is a…Rhetorical Q🤔🤷‍♂️

@offgriddesigner Pass me the sick bucket…

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

@GBNEWS You mean non work Maggie..a great cover up….council, Police social Services..the lot..

'He ducked out and I think he looked at his own political position'. Maggie Oliver says that Andy Burnham attempting to become prime minister is 'not in the best interest of the country' based off of his previous work on grooming gang inquiries.

@kelvmackenzie Manchester only about £1.6 billion in dept. Great husbandry. That’s some of your bus money. Any fool can organise the busses but it’s got to be paid for. Manchester stopped bailiffs trying to recover council tax from around 42,000 they’re the ones using his busses.

Burnham is a financial fool ( more Aye up than AI) who, according to his previous utterances recorded in today’s Times, will borrow more unworried about the bond market, increase income tax and inheritance tax , nationalise water and energy and do bugger all about Channel migrants. Here is his manifesto all from his own mouth; * increase the top rate of tax from 45% to 50%. * Massive increase in council house building and a ban on sales to tenants. * Integrate the NHS and social care, paying for it by adding 10% to Inheritance tax. * Rejoin the EU. * Scrap the first past the post electoral system and replace it with promotional representation. * Borrow more money. He has said it’s wrong to be in “hock” to the bond market and is unconcerned by interest rate rises on mortgages and loans. * Disagrees with the Supreme Court filing on trans and believes there should be a “consensus” on the issue. * Says he agree with some of Mahmood’s migrant policy but once again says there should be “ consensus” ie do nothing. Pretty much a joy for Lefties and nightmare for those of who have to pay for his ideas.

@dailybritainonx No, and working class is the first fib. Raised in leafy Cheshire. Not exactly Salford etc…

He built Greater Manchester's bus network, reduced homelessness and created a model of devolved governance that his allies want to scale nationally. He is the most popular Labour figure in the country with 72% net favourability. He is working-class in origin, plain-speaking, and has a programme - PR, social care, 10-year devolution - that goes beyond personality. Is he the Labour leader Britain needs - or the one Labour has convinced itself it needs?

@AndyBurnhamGM Body bags Burnham..

Great to meet my old PE teacher, the legend that is Mr O’D, whilst campaigning in Ashton. Once told me I couldn’t play football for the school amymore if I didn’t play rugby league as I wasn’t tough enough. Sound advice which will stand me in good stead in this campaign! 💪🏻

@MikeTappTweets You’re totally wrong Tapp, did you feel this countrywide anger before 4/7/24 no I assume not..

I’ve heard what the public are saying, we are at risk of becoming “as bad as the Tories”. I apologise for that. Stability is key for delivery. 🇬🇧

@SeddSezz Pigs and troughs spring to mind…

A little bit about Andy Burnham... He has repeatedly ignored Rochdale and Oldham rape gangs. He wasted £100m+ on failed Clean Air Zone before U-turning. He oversaw Greater Manchester Police collapse amid a crime surge. He was Health Secretary during the Mid-Staffordshire NHS deaths scandal and cover-up between 2005-2008. He claimed £17k expenses for a London flat within walking distance of Parliament. He's just as bad as the rest of them, perhaps even worse... I guess that’s why the pound tumbled upon news of his leadership bid.

@HoodedClaw1974 Oh dear, another one joined the regime. God help us…

🚨Breaking News Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch backs Keir Starmer over banning 11 people from attending Tommy Robinson UTK rally in London. She said, i dont know who these people are, but the government has a right to ban them if they think they are going to cause problems.

@brexitblog_info If they have any sense they won’t…

Andy Burnham doesn’t offer “change”. He’s just a machine politician who has never done a job outside of politics or political bag carrying. His policy prospectus is dismal, high tax, pro-EU job-destroying socialism. Voters in Makerfield shouldn’t touch him with a barge pole.

@gorbalsgoebbels Has he ruined the country …yes..

Is Starmer amazing? No. Is he a decent bloke? Yes. Every leader makes mistakes. Thatcher, Churchill, Blair. Now tiny issues are magnified into full blown crisis. Perspective needed. Line must be drawn or we end up with instability ad infinitum with PMs going every other year.
