A higher percentage of Green Party voters (85%) in Manchester believe Andy Burnham did a good job as Manchester Mayor than any other party - even Labour.
Andy Burnham plonked a chair in the middle of Cardiff today just to meet ordinary people, and give them the chance to ask him some questions. Andy is at his happiest among regular people. [photo is @Cathy_Owens]
Farage has been dealt a stunning defeat. • In May, Reform won these areas with 50%+ of the vote. •,In June, Andy Burnham won these areas with 55% of the vote. Andy Burnham has proven, he is the man who can stop Reform.
Racist incidents have doubled+ in Northern Ireland. Challenge your acquaintances when they espouse these beliefs. Correct them. The fuel that feeds this hate is ignorance in its various forms. Media fuelled. Lazy tropes. A climate of silence. Call it out.
Immigration levels in the UK are collapsing. This will do serious permanent economic damage to the economy leaving us behind Spain and Italy who have caught onto the reality that they need migrants to fix their collapsing birth rate.
“Restore Britain” - a party to the right of Farage’s Reform are standing the following candidate in Makerfield. This will split the vote for Reform and the consequences could be pivotal.
16 years ago, Andy Burnham tried to warn us all about the dangers of Peter Mandelson. Andy has been proven correct.

• In 2018, Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to their best seat tally in London since 1971. This is how the BBC reported it (glance at the two arrows) • Next week, Starmer is on course to lead Labour to their worst result in London for 50 years.
Leo is finding his voice. Pope Leo today condemned the violation of international law by 'neocolonial' powers.
Since I was a little child, I have been aware that this ‘paper’ devotes most of its hate at the people who want to make the lives of ordinary people better; Miners Strike, Brixton, Hunger Strike, Hillsborough, Poll Tax, Corbyn, And now Zack Polanski. He is hope. They are hate.
An Irish blessing for my friends celebrating Eid Al Fitr. “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields” Eid Mubarak 🌙
Those mocking Hannah the Plumber’s clothing would do well to know their history.
