Centre right politics, Reform UK member, had enough of the left wing MSM who think they dictate. Free speech is important.

@tomwilson88 Yes. And I've been to the constituency and I've changed my view.
English
Obviously there's a long way to go. But one thing I'd be prepared to bet money on. Whatever the accuracy of that poll, the Lib Dem and Green vote will get squeezed more in Labour's favour. And Restore will secure a higher vote share than they're currently polling.
English
@DPJHodges It’s been natural Labour territory until now, hopefully not much longer
English
@mikeshrop So you'd have to been happier if I'd written Makerfield is natural Burnham territory.
English
To summarise what I found in Makerfield:
* It's Reform territory. In any other context this would be an easy Reform win
* The Burnham effect is real. Local people view him as one of their own.
* Restore have more of a presence that I anticipated. They may well be a factor

🚨🚨MAY STARMADA: DAY 2🚣♂️🚣♂️
Hundreds of illegal immigrants are currently heading towards Britain – adding to the 400+ that arrived yesterday
With two more days of calm weather, we could see a small army of men here before the Bank Holiday is done

@Sammyjo1954 @DPJHodges He did say he wants Burnham to win, after all he is his mate so Hodges can’t be classed as a serious journalist. He’s a Reform antagonist so expect more many biased tweets in the coming weeks
English
Proof @DPJHodges is just a lefty shill. He has ignored every person who explained what happened in Makerfield. It was obvious to everyone what happened.
Dan has done nothing but castigate Reform and praise Burnham
Shame on you Dan

Just as I predicted. Reform's latest strategy is to get The National Pulse, a US based MAGA web site - run by former Nigel Farage aide @RaheemKassam - to start attacking the Makerfield charity and its director. Top strategy guys...
English
@LeeHarris Absolutely correct. Unfortunately if Labour win Makerfield, we don’t get a GE though, we get another lame PM voted into office by a tiny percentage of the electorate.
English
Keir Starmer is the most vile, morally bankrupt, dishonest, anti-British, and corrupt prime minster this country has *ever* seen.
He should be booted out of office in DISGRACE and arrested for treason!
We need a general election.

If Robert Kenyon becomes an MP, I’ll find his story rather inspiring. A working class plumber, Army Reservist, down to earth guy who beat cancel culture.
It would be much more inspiring than the usual think tank/parliamentary assistant turned MP stories.
A breath of fresh air.
English
@DPJHodges The by election is ugly on its own, one constituency voting for a new PM is ugly. Who caused that….. Labour
English
If, as seems likely, Reform are going to get their US based MAGA social media network to start running attack operations in Makerfield this by-election is going to get very ugly, very quickly.
English
@Teresa19618773 @DPJHodges Burnham is his mate! He’ll say anything about Reform to get Burnham elected but calls himself a journalist
English
@DPJHodges If you think Burnham is the answer to our problems, you are more gullible than I thought.
English
Going to say it again. And Reform supporters can express as much outrage as they like. The current strategy of setting Reform's MAGA attack dogs against local people in Makerfield is insane. And it's going to cost them dearly.
English
@DPJHodges You’re hate of Reform shows you’re rattled. Your support of your mate Burnham shows your true colours, hardly an impartial journalist.

Of all councils needing real change, it’s Bradford.
And yet the Tory party has conspired with the Greens to block Reform.
Vote Tory. Get Polanski.
Right Track@RightTrackGB
🚨 NEW: The Tories and the Greens on Bradford Council have teamed up to block Reform councillors from committees. Will Kemi Badenoch suspend the whip from the Leader as she did in Worcestershire?
English
@DPJHodges Hardly an objective journalist then, in fact to use slurs like “plucky Plumber” means you’re not even a journalist but an agitator. You obviously wanted Starmer removed to get your mate Burnham elected.
English
Just to be clear, because it's going to be a long by-election. I know Andy Burnham and like him. I hope he wins in Makerfield, because I don't think the current situation with Keir Starmer is sustainable (as I've written on several occasions). But the crucial thing is that at the moment I think he will win. So I'm going to write about why. Others can get excited about Brexit and Plucky Plumbers. But I think to date Burnham's perfectly framed his campaign as the local, anti-establishment insurgent. When I was in Gorton no-one ever mentioned a single current or historic policy position for any of the candidates. I expect it to be the same in Makerfield. If that changes, I'll write about that too. If people find that problematic other outlets are available. Like Socialist Worker. Or Bloomberg...
English
@reformparty_uk Fabulous choice, it needed someone local that understands the area. Best of luck to him.

@Yorkiebadger1 @SuellaBraverman An “honourable man” wouldn’t have stabbed the person that gave him his opportunities in the back
English
@SuellaBraverman Rishi is an honourable man and highly intelligent commentator.
English
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
And when I urged him to use his position as PM to leave the ECHR so we could stop the boats, he refused.
He couldn’t even bring himself to put it in the Tory manifesto.
Yet he kept promising the British people that he would do ‘whatever it takes’!
Never trust the Tory Party.
David Frost@DavidGHFrost
It's no good complaining now. Rishi Sunak had every chance to set out a vision during his two years as Prime Minister. The Tory Party would absolutely have got behind a properly conservative view. Instead we got nothing for a year, & then A-level reform and the smoking ban.
English
@mtuj1974 @DPJHodges A vote for him to be PM is what they are being asked, that’s wrong on many levels and Reform will expose that
English
@DPJHodges I think Reform will be much smarter than that, and campaign on one glaring fact:
that the voters are being cynically used as a stepping stone for one man's self-indulgent and egotistical tilt at the top job
English
Look, we’ve got a by-election coming up, and we’ll all know the result soon. But trust me. If Reform wander round Makerfield saying “vote for us to save Brexit!!!” while Burnham is saying “vote for me to show Starmer the door” Burnham walks it.
English
@DPJHodges @angelazhay There’s plenty to blame Burnham for, remember the Mid Staffs fiasco when he was Health Secretary, that was on him.
English
@angelazhay Maybe. But they won’t blame Andy Burnham for that.
English
If Reform do that Andy Burnham will simply point to Nige Farage and say “he told you if you voted for Brexit all your problems here in Makerfield would be solved. How did that work out for you”.
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
Reform UK will put Brexit at the heart of the Makerfield by-election campaign after interventions from Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting on rejoining the EU over the weekend They will link it directly to free movement - accusing Burnham of wanting to 'open the borders up to 500million people'. This is a seat where two-thirds of voters backed Brexit at the EU referendum Burnham told ITV News on Saturday that "in the long term there is a case for that [rejoining the EU]" but added that he was "not advocating that in this by-election". "In fact, what I am saying is focus now domestically. Britain has got to focus very much on the here and now and the issues that are affecting people" At Labour conference last year he said: 'Long term, I'm going to be honest, I'm going to say it, I want to rejoin it'. Burnham does not resile for that view, but it's not the case he wants to make now Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary and a friend of Burnham's, said this morning that nobody wants a return to Brexit wars. But the public interventions in favour of rejoining from Streeting and Burnham mean that it is likely to be a key issue

@TomK_Brit1993 @macnahgalla Like everything else, he fails.
Never mind he has his legacy of Breakfast clubs, what an achievement!
