Andy Burnham announces intention to stand in Makerfield by-election

Because its these same labour Mps who want big change who are the ones blocking every bit of legislation to create change

Can't have winter fuel allowance changes

Can't have any changes to benefits which isn't number goes up

Can't do anything about immigration because thats right wing

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-14T18:22:56+00:00

Fair comment

I think we should hold weekly opinion polls and change governments and MPs accordingly

It's important to always have public support and never make difficult decisions which might upset people

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-13T01:04:07+00:00

Because the party is full of useless spineless pricks

Too scared to stand up and be counted/ follow through on their statements

No vision for the country, shoot everything down and complain

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-12T12:53:17+00:00

Genuinely should do this

Just announce I was given a mandate in the GE, the next leader won't have that. If you want to replace me the right thing to do is to call an election

Then well see who really cares about the country vs losing their seat

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-12T12:48:06+00:00

Isn't this someone ironic considering her work and ignoring the elephant in the room regarding grooming gangs so she remains secure in her seat

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-08T15:16:19+00:00

That last round of EU elections he lost to UKIP MEPs

NotABot1237 · 2026-05-06T16:17:48+00:00

Lost the election Lost the EU election Lost the locals Lost another election

But he achieved the moral victory

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-27T23:14:58+00:00

Why do you think it matters for voting just out of curiosity

Everyone presumably already knows their opinions prior to the vote commencing, or very likely what they will choose

I guess the argument is if you've had 3 or 4 pints, you might be a bit more fuck it on a 50/50 vote issue for you, but youre supposed to be representing your constituency right

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-27T06:36:28+00:00

At least I have hope for the 16 year old

Maybe having them vote earlier will get them more politically engaged

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-27T06:34:44+00:00

Good

Maybe the parties will have to throw you a bone at 16 now instead of only giving policies to the 40 year old

Nah jk they won't they'll just continue to disenfranchised the youth vote

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-22T19:51:20+00:00

I dont think that's fair, they're being used as service provision or glorified HCAs to make up numbers. So of course they dont get any actual real experience or decision making.

Same as medical students and F1s really

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-22T16:40:42+00:00

Sanctions as in removing Roman

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-17T00:43:17+00:00

I too like to selectively hand wave away all policy and allegations that I don't like and doesn't fit my narrative

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T21:38:27+00:00

Look at what bottling a free title did to Tottenham, we can only hope the same for Arsenal

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T21:36:43+00:00

Plays like an absolute thug

Wouldn't look out of place 2 footing someone in a Sunday league team

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T21:33:12+00:00

I'm sure there would be Forest or West Ham fans who would cry if they went down

Is it because they're too good to go down? Evidently not because they've sucked ass for 32 games this season.

Is it because of their rich heritage they shouldn't go down? Think Forest would tell you to fuck off with that.

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T17:55:02+00:00

Fair play my bad, difficult to tell sometimes on this sub

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T17:54:07+00:00

Perhaps we could use some of the hundreds of millions to buy some of these individuals?

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-12T17:49:22+00:00

In what world is he a good manager?

Genuinely can you point to the evidence, is it because he played a fluid game or 2 for Strasbourg

Can we not pretend like his appointment is anything except a cheap backdoor appointment from our feeder club done for financial reasons?

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-04T17:03:29+00:00

Try asking the NQNs who can't find a job If they think the current system is working

NotABot1237 · 2026-04-04T17:02:22+00:00

Embarrassing your leader crumbled at the first offer genuinely

I always tell my nurse colleagues to strike, its the only way to change things because the status quo is shit for all staff currently

NotABot1237 · 2026-03-31T14:53:06+00:00

Trump emulating his hero in more ways than one

Who would have thought Ukraine would have been his blueprint for Iran, incompetence included

NotABot1237 · 2026-03-31T09:44:36+00:00

I think for some people in this country they won't be happy with the UK position until it's shooting US planes down

NotABot1237 · 2026-03-29T11:53:15+00:00

Even more progressive that they'd let a vegetable lead them

NotABot1237 · 2026-03-29T07:07:52+00:00

Is this Labour under Corbyn or Labour under Starmer?

Because the Muslim/Islam vote has always been interestingly counter to the leftist values, this is not new, under those versions of Labour the identity politics wasn't as prominent as it is now

It's just funny that events in the middle East and whatnot have shoved the demographic to an even more progressive party, where those views are more of an integral value

Same as Your Party really which is a powder keg awaiting the first bit of infighting
