If you need help murdering a white person in the UK, it’s easy
All you need to do is call them racist
UK police will arrive in no time to give you a hand
It'll be hilarious if Restore won it
It's a BIS scam!
I suspect that Keir Starmer and his supporters are trying some type of 4D Chess. Keir Starmer is campaigning for Andy Burnham to weigh him down with all the negative publicity associated with the current prime minister. Others are talking loudly about what Burnham said about rejoining EU. The end goal would be that the candidate from Reform UK wins this seat and by that showing to the rest of the Labour Party that Burnham can not win over Reform, so they might as well continue with Starmer as prime minister.
Nothing on the young man who got arrested after being stabbed because the person who stabbed him claimed he said a racial slur. The boys dead by the way. Disgusting.
Labour stinks of corruption and incompetence!
Starmer wins. Guaranteeing Labour will have only one term.
Starmer loses. Guaranteeing the need for a general election.
It's not looking good for 'em is it.
Reform are clear favourites.
Quarter of a million pounds to hold plus 5 million pounds for a mayoral election. All for one man's ego, who got elected on a turn out of 32% for mayor. Labour should be ashamed. They were elected on a manifesto, you cannot just decide to do something else either! Not without an election.
You hate the UK, honesty and want to pay even more taxes. Vote Burnham 😂😂Gees no thanks
No news story on the five Liebour members arrested for electoral fraud?
Is this a sign of the corrupt activities they will take place at the Markerfield by election?
Hey you guys at the bbc should walk into the sea and never return
Labour wanted to cancel local elections due to the cost but is happy for the taxpayer to fund an unnecessary election just to further one man’s career and ego.
Get some Labour/ Burnham puff peices written quick BBC. Youre luvvies need as much good spin as you and the MSM can provide
hello!!! american here. im just here to request an update on the henry nowak murder case!!! thank you!!!!!!
Labour: Vote for us Makerfield, because you are Northern and we used to represent the British working class 30 years ago.
The UK is funny. It’s been almost two weeks and not a single actual poll for makerfield. Cant happen in America. 😅
the failure in politics is largely the failure to educate those who don't get to university. Letting down the 50% with a reading age <14 means 50% live with amplified fears in a complex world. Three academics discussing in academic English – shows the BBC and presenters reporters also don't get it!
