Labour has a majority of a meagre 5000 Makerfield.
Reform are in the running here and Burnham has his work cut out. What fun!

@ronsterd89 It's the pitch and yaw control in a car (probably an Austin Maestro).

@NoLongerTheFuzz And you know that the arrests at the PA protest were for specific things, not disorder.
English
September’s Unite the Kingdom rally: 23 arrests from 150,000 attendees.
August’s Palestine Action protest: 532 arrests from a crowd of 500–600. Virtually the entire crowd.
Two-tier policing isn’t an accusation. It’s the published record.

Saturday in London:
4,000 officers.
Armoured vehicles on standby for the first time.
Live facial recognition deployed at a protest for the first time.
7 foreign speakers banned from entering the UK.
Riot gear for every officer.
The threat? Grandmothers. Mothers. People like you and me.

@NoLongerTheFuzz And you know every one of these things attracts drunken yobs.

@TheMehOffice Generally the historical truth - in as much as it's known - is rather more complex and probably not convenient for simple analysis.

Wales is not older than England & the language that became today’s Welsh originated in what is now England.
Nationalists are invariably ignorant of their own country’s history.

Wales and the Welsh language is older than England/English language. Modern day England was founded by settlers Anglo-Saxon-Jutes. The English language is of Germanic origin. (1/3)

Is there any evidence that Burnham is particularly popular outside a) part of the Labour party & b) Manchester?

@Anna_Soubry In fairness we all thought this. It really isn't your fault! Keep it as a historical record.

I am deleting this
I despair at what our country has become.
And it all stems from the #Brexit #Referendum

Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ? No more psycho dramas and scandals. Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes. Safe

I can’t wait to hear who Reform stand as a candidate in the By-election.

@siobhanworld @LucyTCWife Now, that would be funny; in the current climate could happen.

@bushontheradio It melts so either is fine. I prefer sliced, grated falls off the toast.

@CarlBovisNature And now the ferals come down for the food so I don't always put it out.
English
@CarlBovisNature Until recently we had three, one couple and a loner. The loner had got quite used to me and would come down if I was out in the garden. It would be quite happy if I was two feet away. Haven't seen them for three weeks.

A lovely Collared Dove at Combwich in Somerset at the weekend. 😍
Is it just me.... there doesn't seem to be as many Collared Doves around as there used to be? 🤔🐦

Just out of knee surgery; only the ACL rebuild to go. Sadly, that rules me out of the England squad.
Glad to have ungrudgingly paid lots of income tax and stamp duty to fund the socialist endeavour that is universal health care.
God bless Aneurin Bevan; God bless the NHS…💙

@JackEDeakin And even if he did win the by-election, would he win the Labour Party leadership contest? And would he actually be significantly better than the current incumbent if he did?
English
Putting Andy Burnham in parliament through a resignation, extending any leadership process to allow him to stand; it all reeks of the silly Westminster games the public are sick of.

@MrsFlowers007 I'm not sure anyone should be lectured on national cuisine by the Americans,
English
Can’t believe Americans think our food is rubbish, they’ve clearly never tried a rustlers burger with a pot noodle on the side 🇺🇸🏴🍜🍔
English
@siobhanworld Out of interest do you have a preferred choice in the party to succeed Starmer? I'm struggling to think of anyone statesperson-like. (Same could be said for any other party tbh.)
English
My hope is that Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner and all those who have caused this shit show within the Labour Party all lose their seats at the next election. And Andy Burnham too, if he finds a seat.
As a member of the party, I’m absolutely sick of them all.
