@jensen1966 @implausibleblog It's seen as bad form to announce policies during each other's conferences. But Reform don't care, they wave the flag, but will destroy everything else we are.

@fionasins_ Christchurch mentioned.

@SundaeDivine @AriPirAriP I can probably colour in Greenland for you.

Canada turning red is the geopolitical version of your golden retriever finally biting you.

@eddiedeanNYC3 @ccfcwills @LukeTryl There's no growth, there hasn't been anything much since the banking crisis. All governments since then have raised the tax burden.

@ccfcwills @LukeTryl Because everything he does is to instinctively punish the British taxpayer?

Five things really jumped out from our Makerfield focus group for this piece 1) Burnham's biggest challenge is showing how his win, and any future plans will benefit Makerfield directly that: this is about them not him. 2) Lots of the group really disliked Starmer but: vote Labour to get rid of Starmer really goes against voter psychology 3) Reform's biggest challenge is to derisk. The "risk" of Reform is still enough to stop some wavering voters rolling the dice on them. 4) Restore cut through driven by social media was a real thing and just as in Gorton we heard people worried about splits in left vote here a couple worried about right split.

@SpicyGaullism @MiningCinnabar @dandaniko12 @PolitlcsUK They are certainly richer now.

@MiningCinnabar @dandaniko12 @PolitlcsUK EE migration would go down over time by itself. Birth rates are below replacement, and with EE countries getting richer, the income difference with UK becomes not worth it for most.

🚨 NEW: Reform UK's Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon said in 2019 that he did not vote for Brexit "Anyone who thinks I love Trump, voted Brexit... is wrong... I woke up the day after Brexit shitting myself to what was voted for" [@thetimes]

@Robbington71 @PolitlcsUK That's Farage's investors, I wonder if you'll see it in time.

@PolitlcsUK Probably another Karen trying to destroy everything about this country.

🚨 NEW: Sarah Wakefield is the Green Party candidate in the Makerfield by-election She is a charity director and a Manchester City Councillor

@Dougordon1999 @zarahussain999 No fucking excuse.

@zarahussain999 British patriots who probably lost their jobs and dignity coz some fucking cunts from Pakistan and Bangladesh invaded their town to work for 3 pence an hour, causing economic havoc.

British patriots attempt to steal items from a B&M store and try to fight the migrant workers because they stopped them. These are the workers certain supporters of Restore Britain and Reform want deported from Britain and remigrated.

@TWrodbrochen @OperaSocialist Where's it come from then, really didn't happen much 10 years ago.

@OperaSocialist I've never once heard Nigel Farage or TR say a word against immigrants who arrived legally and committed no crimes.

The Farage and Tommy Robinson effect in practice: The NHS staff at my local hospital are all amazing, kind, professional, compassionate and with the patience of a saint. Many are immigrants or of a BAME background. The overt racism from several patients was absolutely shocking. Not just one incident but over the course of 3 days I witnessed 6 separate, hideous racist comments or abuse being hurled with a vitriol unseen in decades. These twats are emboldened by Farage, Reform, Musk, Lowe, Tiny Tommy Ten Names and a media which gives their hideous views a platform.

@piratesmurf24 @Shrink_at_Large The Reform candidate?

@Shrink_at_Large The issue is why would anyone vote for labour currently

Reform are going to win Makerfield, aren’t they.

@DouggieDabbler @CheckCharlieB Is your idea of government shouting in people's faces?

@CheckCharlieB "Standards" are always a reveal of somebody who is quite happy with shit "Standards" if it applies to the "in group". Load of bollocks.

Anyone seeking to sit in Parliament should be capable of representing every constituent fairly and respectfully, regardless of lifestyle, background or beliefs. If the allegations around Robert Kenyon’s past comments are accurate, many voters will reasonably question whether he meets that standard.

@BoveFromAbove The Untemptations

Name Zia Yusuf's boyband?

@severo_michele @cturnbull1968 Trump is fucking embarrassing mate, He's your jump the shark, new Coke, Pontiac Aztek, Walter Mittyesque - sub prime Caligula that's caused a global realignment away from America ...and because you only read RW media you don't even know.

@cturnbull1968 This is why this country turned into shit. Because people like you are Ret@rded. 🤌😂😂

Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.

@RudyandPud @JunaSathian They just want misery for others, it's a poor drug.

@JunaSathian They got what they wanted and they're still not happy.

I was the Labour councillor for Blakelaw and Cowgate and lost the recent election to Reform UK by just 22 votes. I accepted the result. That is democracy. What I did not expect was what came afterwards. Since the election, my family and I have experienced abuse, hostility, personal attacks and even vandalism. Most recently, a political social media post contained false claims about my involvement in the community and local organisations. The claim was later removed, but not before it had already been seen and shared. Blakelaw and Cowgate is not just a ward to me. It is my home. My family lives here. My children have grown up here. We have spent years supporting local residents, community groups and grassroots football because we care deeply about this community. What hurts most is the impact on my family. My children have asked why things have changed so much since the election. As a parent, it is heartbreaking to see them worried and upset because of things being said about their mother. When false information is published, it does not just affect the person targeted. It affects their husband, their children and the people who love them. It makes you wonder how much more hostility your family will have to face simply for trying to serve your community. I am proud of everything my family and I have done for Blakelaw and Cowgate. Despite everything, this is still our home, and I will continue supporting the community I care so deeply about.

@loyal_briton @lowles_nick @andrew_behan EDL I believe, hold the record for having the highest density of nonces of any political organisation since PIE were dissolved.

@markofsoton @lowles_nick @andrew_behan The Labour Party and their supporters have the monopoly on the Nonce and Paedophile uniforms. The Lib Dem’s have the monopoly on Clown uniforms. The Greens have the monopoly on the Nazi uniforms.

After Matt Goodwin’s absolute car crash of a candidature in Gorton & Denton, Reform went safe and picked a local plumber who they thought would go down well against Andy Burnham. Vile and highly offensive social media posts means Reform is now shielding the candidate from the media. I’m hearing from sources within Reform that they were surprised by the Survation poll that put them only three points behind Labour. Not only does their own canvassing put them further behind, but it also puts Restore on higher than 7%.

@AlBonDeega @salingergregor Unless you live on top of a mountain and are cold blooded, deliberately accelerating to Cretaceous conditions to own the libs seems a bit ..I can't find the word.

@salingergregor Yeah yeah, blah blah Keep peddling your nonsense propaganda, it's all a part of normal Earth cycles, sea levels aren't even close to being the highest they've ever been x.com/i/grok/share/9…

one reason why climate change denial isn't a thing really in Europe (some right wingers deny its human cause tho) is because Europe is the place which has heated up the most and will further have about 2x as much temperature rise as the global average unless the AMOC slows down

@RandomOne555 @trip_to_valkiri It's reversible: half timbered on the other side.

@trip_to_valkiri This is my first time knowing this camo exist. So are they gonna change the uniform mid battle when they enter new biome?

Don't claim you know militaria if you have not heard about the British "Brick" pattern.

Incredible thread about the Reform UK Chair for Bath, Tim Nott. He likes to dress as a Nazi, and has an interesting chest tattoo… There’s reenactment, and there’s dressing as Himmler’s SS.

@carl_thompson70 Tempelhof would qualify except a) No longer an airport b) Nazis

I'll always love a good railway station. York's is one of the most atmospheric. There's no such thing as a good airport.

@MatthewMarks42 @reformexposed Fair enough..rubbish search engine I guess.

@markofsoton @reformexposed I've found it - from a posting yesterda: gassaferegister.co.uk/showengineers?…

Reform UK’s Rob Kenyon set up Makerfield Heating in April 2026. Seems he’s already folding it, now he’s a politician. Here’s makerfieldheating.com. The white van that Reform UK are milking for all it’s worth? It was only bought 3 months ago, when Rob Kenyon set up his Makerfield Heating company. It’s like he invented himself just before the 2026 local elections.

@Scottm295 Labour have avoided the Trump/Iran bear traps, have got growth up a bit, immigration down..they've made mistakes and Starmer is hard to like but they are fairly benign.. and yet people on here behave like it's the end of days. They appear to want a Truss/Idi Amin/Milei hellscape.

Vote Restore Britain, get Labour. It's not just about this by-election. If you vote Restore and allow Burnham to win here then the polls show that it is likely that Labour will win the next election. Think carefully before you vote. #votereform

@MatthewMarks42 @reformexposed He may have been registered in the past perhaps..

@markofsoton @reformexposed I've seen screenshots of the Gas Safe register featuring him, but certainly I haven't managed to find him with a search. Perhaps I was taken in by fake images?
