Labour’s Andy Burnham absolutely trounced Reform’s Rob Kenyon in Makerfield – 23 people adding insult to injury
13.
The Burnham Effect…
Labour national polling vs Burnham voters in an area that fell to Reform in the local elections a month ago.
54.8% of the vote share.
It wouldn’t make any sense to NOT give Burnham a chance at taking on Reform.
It’s an objectively extraordinary result. pic.twitter.com/PjejJUKr7Z

Looks like Reform UK's losing candidate, Rob Kenyon, ran away after votes announced
Nigel Farage didn't appear at all. Spent more time in Makerfield than anywhere else over last month. Never associates himself with failure. Rushed off pronto#bbcelection #politicslive #skynews pic.twitter.com/JGKzjRnRs5

You were sent a clear message When it comes to a choice and when it comes to an electorate wanting to make an informed choice Reform are not it – mirrored in the other byelections too.
Major fail on your part was dismissing Restore as one man with a social media account.

Richard Tice on @BBCBreakfast this morning looking like a deflated balloon animal that’s just been told the party’s over.
Reform’s big brain campaign for months:
“VOTE REFORM AND GET STARMER OUT OR YOU’RE A TRAITOR!”
6 hours after getting absolutely rinsed into 2nd place by…

I just can't understand it. What was it about a pervy misogynistic dickhead that the people of Makerfield didn't like?

This should prompt some deep thinking about whether this idea that Reform UK are a serious party that has enough support in the country to win a general election was actually all a Westminster bubble fever dream.
It won't though.

PEOPLE OF MAKERFIELD!!!
Sorry if we ever doubted you ❤️
Thank you!
Now, we need never speak of that Reform prick ever again.

A lot of people had the same question.
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.

Does anyone know if @AndyBurnhamGM likes cats?
