@Midge1415 @MartinDaubney I want to see them annihilated; they have caused misery, pain, poverty AND death in their tenure.
He was right.

@1FlashofLight @Kieren_MUFC @gingerrtom Careful what you wish for. Burnham is centre-left and will eject Labour Together out.
English
@Kieren_MUFC @RKHodkinson @gingerrtom Makerfield matters because it is a parliamentary election and will be used go boot Starmer out.
English
spoke about "splitting the right vote" and wouldn't have even had enough votes COMBINED! 😭😭😭
a reminder that twitter isn't a real place, a loud minority pushed by elon.

🚨BREAKING: The Labour Party has won the Makerfield by-election 🌹 LAB: 24,927 ➡️ REF: 15,696 🦁 RES: 3,111 🌳 CON: 997 🌍 GRN: 308 🔶 LDM: 163 [Labour HOLD]

@PeachRusse67719 Reformski/Restore are 2 cheeks of the same diseased arse.
English
Reform really fucked the pooch. That wasn't even close and they can't even complain about splitting the vote. People are finally seeing through the Reform party. They are not what the electorate thought that they were. They found out that the party was all smoke and mirrors.
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
Restore Britain is here to stay. A huge step forward for our party tonight.

@DuncanHenry78 I would laugh my tits off if Burnham did a deal with Starmer and didn't trigger a leadership contest. Starmer vs Streeting would cause me to laugh even harder
English
I wonder if the media and pundits will recognise this result is clearly saying “for the love of god can we get rid of Starmer”
If Burnham hadn’t been touted as the “Starmer remover” he would not have won.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election 🔴 LAB: 24,937 (+6,725) - 54.8% ➡️ REF: 15,696 (+2,893) - 34.5% 🟣 RES: 3,111 (NEW) - 6.8% 🔵 CON: 997 (-3,382) - 2.2% 🟢 GRN: 308 (-1,468) - 0.7% 🔶 LD: 163 (-2,572) - 0.4% Changes w/ 2024 58.75% turnout

@Bikeactivebob @reformexposed Why? with a 160 seat majority, Labour can do what they want. change leaders once a week, rejoin the EU...anything.
English
After throwing everything they have at 3 target Parliamentary by-elections and losing all 3, this is the moment where the media should be saying the Reform UK project isn’t the landslide they got giddy about.
Nigel Farage tried: the friend of Nathan Gill, MattGPT and the Pervy Plumber.
That’s someone who’s been in politics for years, someone who they claimed was an intellectual political heavyweight and their ‘plucky plumber’.
Each one shaped like products.
Each one left on the shelf by the electorate.
English
@Citizenuk1927 @SamCoatesSky Nurse! this man needs Copium, stat!
English
@SamCoatesSky Manchester is a Labour stronghold. The most labour of all areas yet Reform got close.
In a general election labour will only win the big cities. Reform the country. It's over for Labour.
Tonight proved it.

Makerfield result
Quite remarkable Sky graphic - the “progressive” vote vs the “right” vote
* Burnham got more than 50%
* Burnham united the progressive vote.
* Huge squeeze of other parties.
* Reform plus Restore < Labour
English
@Kieren_MUFC @gingerrtom hahaha like that matters. Labour have a 160 seat majority and reform couldn't get more than 5 mp's without defections 🤣
English
@wishvwerehere @TomSoede haha the wetwipe put the block on. Snowflake fascists 🤣😂
English
@wishvwerehere @TomSoede not the electorate in makerfield, it seems.
English
Labour victory tonight might be the start and The End of Andy Burnham.
I will be up all night.
Not just because of the World Cup, but because of the drama in Makerfield.
Here is the nightmare scenario for Andy Burnham.
Restore gets 7%.
Reform gets 45%.
Labour scrapes through on 48%.
Yes, Labour wins the seat.
But politically? That is an utter disaster for Burnham.
Because if he cannot crush Reform in a Labour seat, with his name, his profile, and all the hype around him, then the unions , Labour MPs and Labour members will not see him as the man to save the party.
They will see him as the man who nearly lost Makerfield.
Not just for a few months.
For years.
And that is why Wes Streeting has basically said:
“I want to give Starmer over the weekend to resign.”
Translation:
The knives are out.
But so are the calculators.
English
@BpdLion my only prayers regarding him is that he steps on Lego, barefoot, for what remains of his life.

You should ask your wife and kids how cutting you out of their lives impacted their positivity.
Graham Linehan@Glinner
@hriengaalkn How is cutting your breasts off 'body positivity'?
English
@Jawgenius @AkkadSecretary no they won't 😂 160 seat majority means they don't have to do a damned thing
English
@AkkadSecretary Chaos in government. Labour will have to call a GE.
English
Obviously nothing will change, he will be as hated as Starmer within the same time frame.
And then replaced, the cycle resets.

🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham's Makerfield victory speech in full "I say this to my party… This is a final chance to change"
English
@R_J_Shaw The UK is in serious trouble IF this is repeated in other labour by elections. If it's just a we love Burnham get starmer out result grim but ok fine, but if after all the terrible things that happened in the following weeks there are still so many loyalists it's pretty bad news
English
Regardless of the result in Makerfield, it’s utterly racked off.
Over 41% of eligible voters didn’t turn up.
We can’t say it’s because we didn’t canvass hard enough, we did.
We can’t say it’s for lack of options, we are a solid anti-establishment offering and there was every flavour of establishment.
We can’t say it’s because of the weather, it was glorious.
No, this is voter apathy.
I have zero respect for anyone who is apathetic towards the current state of this country.
I guarantee you that if all the voters that didn’t turn up had turned up for us… Or indeed for Reform, Labour or any other party, it would have guaranteed whoever they voted for the win. No party is going to secure 41% of the electorate… Which equates to roughly 31,500, or roughly 70% of the turnout.
The people of this country need to pull their thumbs out of their arses because if they don’t, we are heading for a civil war AT BEST, if not the complete destruction of our national identity and the subjugation and eventual replacement of our people in their entirety.
English
@angryeddyfoster @KBothouse @donmcgowan A vote for Burnham is just a continuity Starmer, though. Hopefully a Starmer with a clearer plan, but still the same centre-right stuff.
English
@KBothouse @RKHodkinson @donmcgowan People knew voting for Reform at this by election wouldn’t get Starmer out, the only way to get Starmer out was to elect Burnham and have him start a leadership election.
English
Not even close. Burnham got more votes than all the others combined.
So when Farage inevitably tries to blame Restore, this is the only fact you need.
Robert Kenyon only increased his vote share by 2.7% since he stood in 2024. That's shocking.
Considering the sheer amount of money Reform threw at this by-election, that's a terrible result. An absolutely shocking waste of Christopher Harborne's money!
Farage is done. Reform UK are done.

@donmcgowan Yeah Donny lad..
Just won 1500 council seats with 50% of the votes
Nige is our next PM
Cry more

So at what time this morning can we expect Nigel Farage’s resignation?
He’s clearly not up to the job.
Loss after loss when it really matters, despite taking tens of millions in donations.
Sorry Reform, we’re just not that into you.
English
@HistoryChanging @MarinaPurkiss nope, since the Israeli's and Hezbollah are at it again, which means the deal is off.
English
@MarinaPurkiss With the Peace deal in the Middle East, the defeat of reform in Manchester, am I seeing tiny rays of light at the end of this dark tunnel? I pray so. May God bless our country with true leadership, may He save it from those who preach hatred and may it always be a beacon of hope.
English
PEOPLE OF MAKERFIELD!!!
Sorry if we ever doubted you ❤️
Thank you!
Now, we need never speak of that Reform prick ever again.
English
@Jackson13796943 @iainw07 Yup. Don't need to be a Sherlock or a Poirot to work that one out!
English
I never realised Makerfield had so many thick as pig shit Northerners. I know the sort. You know NOTHING else. It's in the heritage.
You DESERVE Burnham. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
English
Trying this whole, “leave it for 48 hours and then you won’t want it” thing.
Yeah. Not working.
English
This lot don’t even represent most white working class folks. They represent a tiny minority of mostly violent men. At least their partners were safer for a few hours.

@Paulie_Cashews already started. some bollocks about 10,000 postal votes.
English
So how long before Reform claim some kind of voter fraud in Makerfield, I suspect the conspiracy theories will start by the end of today..
English
@narindertweets He's delusional. and like all deluded people, will pick on their perceived enemies with vigour.
English
Nick Ferrari starts his show by saying "where did it all go wrong for Starmer?"
Not where did it go wrong for Reform or Nigel Farage but Starmer!
Labour won.
Ferrari sounds like he's going to cry.
