And they still pretend the UK isn't a managed democracy…
Robert Kenyon lost it for Reform. How could anyone vote for someone who struggled to put a sentence together and had so much misogynistic checkable history. Surley someone must have vetted the guy before putting him up. Absolute own goal.
The media got what they wanted as usual
Reform are screwed because they just haven't got the candidates who are both competent enough to be an MP and also able to connect with the working class.
Changing leaders mid stream is nearly always fatal. Any guy who stands down from his job and costs the tax payer £5 million pounds has an outsized ego. Reform will be the winners from it all. Burnham supporters think he is the messiah, he is middle management. We have been here before. It's true, you can fool some of the people all the time. In the case of Makerfield for over 50 years.
In the week we have facts that Labour threw our girls to the wolves for vote, Blair ruined our country for votes, this byelection, which cost money for political gain, you lot of sheep voted for Labour. Our country is screwed. You can't see further than your noses or what the political class feed you even when there's evidence. I truly dispair. You have emboldened them again. 😮💨
Andy Burnham, never had a job. Never worked hard. Went from university to politics in one easy move. Couldn't be leader so easily became mayor. Decided to be leader and now easily became MP again. He hasn't a clue about US. The political machine steamrollers as always. Same old, same old.
I call it Hollywood
Bring on the chaos and division in the Labour party and let it implode….
A tv station opening investigations and sending units to people's homes is absolutely laughable, disgusting. Your units would have a veeeeerrrrryyy bad day if I see them on my porch 😂😂😂 disgusting lmao
BBC no report on the EU parliament vote on migration?
T'is
Only Proper that Mr.Burnham Is Congratulated on His Magnificent Win now all he has to do is Change the Water into Wine.
That should be easy Word has it a Fella did it at a Wedding back in the Day.
All yours Andrew
Labour came 4th in the other two by-elections yesterday. There’s no love for Labour.
The silent majority wins !
He said his first trip would be to Israel
All aboard Burnham Cruises RMS Titanic. 😅
Burnham will become Labours Sunak until an election.
Starmer (already a highly confused individual) seems to have upgraded himself in interviews as being both a head of state and president, rather than a leader of the GE winning Labour Party, and therefore the PM. In the UK the electorate vote for political parties not for presidents, Kings, or Queens.
Funny they keep saying labour when in this election that party only said Burnham. So i guess the lesson is for a labour win pretending you're not of thier ilk is key.
And the Tories won in Aberdeen taking a seat from SNP. Colossal news (but let's not talk about it).
And what about the EU seismic shift on immigrants?
I feel really sorry for BBC. BBC , particularly Laura Kuennesberg, is the biggest supporter of Sir Keir Starmer KC.
Anyone questioned how Burnhams wifes company got the contract to set up the ULEZ infrastructure in Manchester.
The Road From Wigan Pier
Of course he'll challenge but the country will still be run by a traitorous labour party.
Starmer, Streeting, Burnham…….I reckon all three should be joint Prime minister as they are pretty much identical to each other – Streeting even looks and talks exactly like Starmer. Burnham at least has a different expression on his face – one of mild confusion. It's going to be a long two years…..
Tüm evrenin yapısı sicim yasasında gizli sanırım. Entropi yasalarının dediği hiç bir enerji yokken var olmaz varken yokolmaz konusu.Aynı biyolojik yaşam formunda olduğu gibi ölüm ve doğuma benzer bir ilişki barındırıyor. Sicim teorisinde olan bence .yıldızların ölümü karadeliklerin meydana gelmesi.higs alanında ölen bir maddenin diğer alanda enerjisi formuna devam etmesine ile diğer alanlardaki enerjinin higs alanını meydana getirip bir çeşit ala dönüşüm enerjisi sürmektedir bence.Yani atomda bulunan seçimler tüm enerji alanlarında ölüm ve doğumları gerçekleştiriyor. Belkide bu yüzden elektron konumu hesaplanamıyor. Çünkü gördüğümüz yeni doğmuş bir elektron baktığımızda ölmüş bir elektron veya farklı bir enerjiye dönüşmüş bir yapıdır. Burada mükemmel bir uyum var . Bende uyandırdığıysa ne kadar küçültsekte farklı bir dizilim yapısı ortaya çıkacak aynı DNA gibi bir mantık düzlemi oluşturacak.aslında bir atomun yasalarını sürdürebilmesi için. Bir şifreleme olması gerekiyor.Belkide evren ve dünyamız hala etrafında yok olup farklı enerjiye dönüşen ölüm ve yaşam dönüşümü ile hareket etmekte. Belkide karanlık madde enerjisini bu şekilde üretiyor. Atomu elimize verilmiş bir ana renk olarak görürsek yanılırız . Bu sadece ışığın farklı renkte tonlarını üretmekten öteye gitmez. O yüzden yapay ve laboratuvar ürünü şeyler kararlı olmuyor belkide. Kodlanmış yapının en mükemmel hali doğal olandır belki. Asıl mesele o ana rengi oluşturan daha fazla etken nedir
