@FraserNelson Are these figures not down to the policies that Cleverley put in place .

What he could have said: “Today we have taken basic net migration down to the tens of thousands. Tories promised this for years. Labour delivered. Controlling borders is crucial for a cohesive society. Tories lost control. Labour has taken it back.”

@kaytydayty @emmerdale When was the last time the Dingles sorted anyone out ? All mouth no trousers, a ridiculous soap family with more brains in a hay bale .

Why are they changing Charity’s personality to suit the blackmailing Dr Todd storyline? Charity would tell Chas, Ross at least and they would make a plan to get Dr Todd. It’s just ridiculous. Making Charity all meek and mild. #emmerdale @emmerdale

@kaytydayty @emmerdale Whole show goes from ridiculous to the sublime. Are writers actually paid for this ? No believable characters anymore , Dingles so thick it beggers belief , Cain ,as scary as a kitten and plots ,so full of holes its like a sieve.

@KemiBadenoch As if the incompetence of this govt couldn't get any worse .

After 18 months of “standing up to Putin” the Labour govt quietly issued a licence allowing imports of Russian oil refined in third countries. Yesterday Labour MPs voted AGAINST UK oil and gas licences. We are now importing from Russia instead of drilling in the North Sea. Insane.

@Rufus_45 🤣🤣😂

Noel Gallagher looking all upset and heading home #BOUMCI

@Conservatives @JamesCleverly @KemiBadenoch The increase in minimum wage , NI and reduction to £5k allowance coupled with the employee rights act means we simply cannot afford to employ financially, or to take a risk when we are potentially stuck with poor staff .Since April staff suddenly being ill for 3 days has trebled!

Rachel Reeves is responsible for the single largest drop in employment since COVID. Read that again. Only @KemiBadenoch’s Conservatives can Get Britain Working Again.

@kennardmatt Greens ? 🤣🤣🤣😂

He's so fake. Another machine politician Labour is dead. Greens are the only game in town

@Conservatives @KemiBadenoch But only yesterday she was saying she had the right economic plan after IMF increased its forecast . 🤣🤣😂

@hellotimbennett @afneil 🤣🤣🤣😂

@afneil Jeez - let's just pin the blame on Cardinal Wolseley. How far back are Labour willing to go to deflect ?

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.

@afneil And thus the fair young delusional and conceited Knight , Burnham , was put unceremoniouslyback in his place by the king, Andrew Neil.😂😂🤣 .

@RachelReevesMP Youth unemployment figure 11%, within the current increase ,5% . Is this part of your plan .

The IMF upgrading its growth forecasts for the UK and backing our fiscal strategy is yet more proof that this Government has the right economic plan.

@RobertJenrick Have you called a by election yet rob .

He’ll stand anywhere. He’ll say anything. Andy’s in it for himself, not Makerfield.

@BBCSport Are you serious , is there anyone not doing it . I Switch off pundits on MOTD now,so I dont suppose ill be listening to the banal rubbish they spout at world cup. How much is this costing ?

🚨 Squad announcement! 🚨 Meet the BBC's line-up for the 2026 Fifa World Cup!

@PolitlcsUK And told Britain to cut welfare bill !!!!

🚨 NEW: The IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast from 0.8% to 1% in 2026

@RachelReevesMP If you are lauding the imf ,what is your response to the fact they are essentially demanding you reduce welfare bill ! You are still delusional that you are doing a good job . Can we say ,after your accusations to Truss ,based on gilt rates ,that you have crashed economy .

@LeeHarris Goodness you do talk rubbish .

Wow. I've NEVER seen an interview THIS bad from the leader of a political party. Kemi falls apart here. She *completely* loses her composure because she knows the Tories got DESTROYED at the local elections. She also agreed with banning speakers at UTK The Tories are finished

@LeeHarris ?? What ?

@reformparty_uk Utter tripe ,reform are terrified of Kemi , she is future ,the new broom ( got rid of all leader wannabes to reform😂), old fashioned common sense, proper tory policy and only leader talking sense .

The Conservatives are finished and in denial about their terrible election result. Only Reform UK can get Labour out and begin to turn our country around.

@BlakeCa38089571 @afneil Burnham was useless as an mp . It's desperate that labour actually think he is their saviour.

@afneil You just want to be mean. Andy is highly experienced and actually running for office. its easy for you to sneer.

At last, some national scrutiny of A Burnham. And it’s already clear that in a number of areas he doesn’t really know what he’s talking about, which explains the stumbling.

@afneil Exactly this Andrew but you left out the factvthat its costing taxpayers EXTRA to hold another mayor election !!!

British politics will reach a new reductio ad absurdum in the Makerfield by election: Vote Labour to destroy the sitting Labour Prime Minister. Support Labour PM Starmer but NOT voting Labour. We are having a by-election not because there’s any demand or need in the national interest but entirely to suit the convenience of the byzantine politics of the ruling party and the political pygmies in whose interest it is run. We are no longer a serious nation. No wonder the bond markets are squiffy.
