@SophyRidgeSky There’s a difference between people not wanting to come to the country/people leaving because it’s been screwed over by the government, and removing illegal immigrants and restricting those that the government want here. If you break it down it’s the former not the latter.

@KarlTurnerMP @UKLabour @AndyBurnhamGM Standing on a ticket “Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that.” Elected as an MP from 2001-2017 under Blair & Brown. Mayor since 2017. If only he’d had 25 years as an elected politician to change things. Unbelievable

Andrew Neil@afneil·
I should add that Makerfield has had a Labour MP since the constituency was created in 1983. It’s been run by a Labour council since it fell within the Wigan local authority in 1974. It falls within the ambit of the Greater Manchester mayor, who is also Labour (that would be you — for now). There was a Labour government between 1997 and 2010 (of which you were a part) with huge majorities. These is a Labour government in power now, with an even bigger majority. So it’s a bit odd to blame Makerfield’s woes on a PM who left office in 1990. I understand she left a legacy you don’t like. But you and your party have had more than enough time to clean it up. Why would more time make any difference?
Andrew Neil@afneil

Nice to hear from you, Andy. Thanks for the by election. We live for such things. I’m in no doubt life is tough for lots of folk in Makerfield. But it’s hardly a poster child for urban squalor/deprivation. Thatcher left power in 1990. She was followed by seven years of unThatcher Major and 13 years of Labour government, of which you were a part. So it’s quite a stretch to blame her for any continuing woes. Unless we blame Labour for failing to put anything right. On the other hand the houses you were walking past were bought by the tenants under Thatcher’s right to buy scheme, which has given them some pride in place and some wealth they once could only have dreamt of accumulating. I assume your pledge to ‘renationalise housing’ does not include taking these homes back into public ownership ... even if that would constitute a proper, radical reversal of the Thatcherism you’re (some what bizarrely) campaigning against.

@DPJHodges He’s using the area and it electorate as a steppingstone for his selfish personal ambitions. He doesn’t care about the area, just the impression he projects. He’ll drop his constituents at the first opportunity

On “the Burnham campaign is a shambles!” from some Labour MPs. These are the same people confidently asserting he’d blown it at Labour conference. The reality is that in the first 48 hours he’s successfully framed himself as someone who can speak human, is rooted in the area he wants to represent, and is a an antidote to the Westminster status quo. Which is exactly the framing he needed.

@DPJHodges It’s not, pretty pathetic really. Blame Thatcher, and it wasn’t that long ago that Labour claimed it was an unnecessary waste of taxpayer money to have local elections. Now they’ve caused two unnecessary elections because of their infighting, they just don’t get it.

So ministers are campaigning to win a seat they already had, for a candidate that wants to replace the PM that they have full confidence in and claim is going nowhere. And we are meant to pretend this is all perfectly normal.

@JohnSlinger Deserves what he gets. Families at the centre of school closures. Families at the centre farmers suicide. Families at the centre of redundancy where companies have closed. All down to nasty, vile envy policies. If you are defending that then I hope it’s as vitriolic when you go

One thing I’ve not heard much of in the debate about who should be Prime Minister of our country is the human being at the centre of this, & his family, & the effect of this on them all. The vitriol is off the scale. Show some humanity. People we disagree with are not enemies

@NickUbsdell @dshensmith @nuriyahk I’ll agree to disagree, the Saville comment was an analogy which I hope would be self explanatory, & not meant as an insult. It would be a sad world where people can disagree but not be amicable at the end. I wish you all the best, take care.

@jon_lander54263 @dshensmith @nuriyahk Jon, leave it at that... Other than your Jimmy Saville comment, you've discussed politely & respectfully. It is obvious we won't agree, but that's fine. As I said previously, I have ties with SA & a better understanding than most, also I tend to look differently at issues.

@NickUbsdell @dshensmith @nuriyahk It’s not about deflection, he was leader of an organisation that carried out terrorist activities/bombings before he was imprisoned, that is simply put terrorism. It is not the virtue of his actions as that is a different discussion.

@jon_lander54263 @dshensmith @nuriyahk Again, you deflect from the fact that he was not a convicted terrorist. My opinion is fact, not a merge of two ideas it is one fact. It is you that wishes to conflate fact & opinion to confuse & create a truth from an opinion not based on fact. Show concise proof, you can't!

@NickUbsdell @dshensmith @nuriyahk It’s not manipulation or misinformation. If ISIS didn’t call themselves terrorists it doesn’t make it true You conflate opinion of rights/wrongs of reasons he was involved in terrorism. He was involved in actions of unlawful political violence intended to force political change

@jon_lander54263 @dshensmith @nuriyahk Mandela never called himself a “terrorist.” Claiming he did is a falsehood. He openly admitted planning sabotage against apartheid infrastructure, which is historical record, but that is not the same as self-identifying as a terrorist. Again, Manipulation & Miss-Information

@NickUbsdell @dshensmith @nuriyahk The information is correct and widely available. By definition and his own words he was a terrorist. He was still on several countries terrorist watch lists until 2008. I don’t use my opinion to show he was a terrorist, I use the facts & his own words that show he was.

@jon_lander54263 @dshensmith @nuriyahk Not justifying any actions. Simply pointing out that labelling him a terrorist is miss-information. He wasn’t & you have no concise facts that he was other than repeating miss-information. Opinions are not facts & no matter if a lie is repeated, it doesn't become the truth!

@matoxley What would your ideal grid size be, mine would be another 2 manufacturers on top of that. Firstly the return of Suzuki and then BMW joining the paddock with 4 bikes each. Total 32 bikes on the grid. Looking at the starting grid at Silverstone last year the track appeared empty.

MotoGP needs this - Aspar would take the grid to 24 bikes (2 more than Dorna’s limit but maybe not Liberty’s), which is the perfect number because it allows 6 manufacturers with 4 bikes 😎

💥🚨 EXCL: Aspar Martínez and CFMoto, trying to step to MotoGP in 2027! Aspar would take Ktm bikes as a satellite team until CFMoto will line-up a full-Chinese bike. The racing dept would be set at Rimini (ITA), at the European CFMoto R&D center. Pending MSEG approval. @skysport

I’ve just worked out the cost of charging my EV (VW ID4) at home. In the last tax year it was about £700. I did 8,000 miles in it. The alternative would have cost around £4,000 at recent pump prices. It’s paying for itself … 👏👏👏😊😊😊

@NickUbsdell @dshensmith @nuriyahk I’m not using your words to suit my narrative. He was leader of an organisation, that by definition used terrorism to effect political change. That is fact. You’re justifying his terrorist actions. It’s not whether you believe his actions were justified, he used terrorism. Fact
