Support PR and a Progressive Alliance. Getting rid of this corrupt shower is a moral imperative.

This is a brilliant article. Perfectly summarises why women need their own spaces (it was never about toilets).

Why are the police not involved?

Outrage as hundreds of people descended on protected wildlife ponds at Hampstead Heath in London during the hot weather. No respect or care for the native wildlife. 😡

I’m with Rupert and Caroline. Very important the Greens don’t stand. A vote Green will be a vote for Reform and it will rightly haunt them. Conversely standing down could be done with leverage for PR. Andy B ( and the country) will visibly owe them. Do the right thing Zac.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

Stop it @bmay . We need to beat Reform.

[Brendan May @bmay]

So Burnham arrives, sticks with Reeves policies, continues the big state/anti small business agenda, sticks his head in the sand about Brexit, and is far less qualified on the world stage but more charismatic for Labour members. What fundamentally changes? Literally nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

Brilliant reporting! Keep it up @hzeffman

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚨 BBC News: Farage: “I bought the £1.4m house with my I’m a Celeb money.”

Corporate accounts show the fee was still in the company after the purchase.

Same week he’s under inquiry for the £5m Thai crypto Brexit bung.

The stories keep changing but the smell doesn’t.

As other's have pointed out, this is a brilliant campaign video. But it's a pretty damning indictment of our current politics that Andy Burnham is one of the few senior politicians who can pull this off authentically.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

This Burnham campaign video deserves a retweet (and many more). Take a look at the vast (shady) money and professional media operation behind Reform. It’s going to be an existential battle.Wherever you stand on the Labour leadership, this seat must be won.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

Excellent interview @DanielHewittITV

[Daniel Hewitt @DanielHewittITV]

Exclusive: In his first sit-down, in-depth TV interview @AndyBurnhamGM tells me about his plans to “build a new Britain”.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Fergal is correct.

Despite a guaranteed return of £22BN in profits by 2030 - private water companies continue to use our rivers as sewage pipes and the sea as a cesspit for sewage.

It’s cheaper & therefore more profitable than spending on infrastructure.

Public ownership now.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

I am a Green Party member and agree 100% with both @CarolineLucas and @labourlewis . A Reform win is too dark to contemplate as this would create a path to an election victory.

[Mrs Gee 💚🇵🇸🎒 @earthygirl011]

Our message to Clive is stop telling Greens what to do, and leave Labour if you're not happy with them

We're here to replace Labour not help one side of their internal factional fighting

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

This is idiotic. Divisions on the left will enable a Reform government.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Burnham is not a left wing politician.

His politics is the same as Starmer’s.

Yes he’s more popular, but he’s no better.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

I am also a Green Party member and agree with you 100% @PoliticoTeacher

[James Armstrong @PoliticoTeacher]

I'm a Green Party member and will be campaigning for a council by-election candidate this weekend.

But, if I was in Manchester, I would be campaigning for Burnham. Stopping Reform matters far more than party politics.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

100%

[James Foster @JamesEFoster]

.@TheGreenParty should focus on winning the Manchester Mayor.

They should not get involved in that by-Election.

@ZackPolanski

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

Andy Burnham is not perfect, but if the Greens split the vote....
Reform will gain a seat.
Greens may gain a Manchester Mayor.
Reform will will the next election.
The Greens will never be forgiven.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Any Burnham is no one’s saviour.

Reform UK will gain a seat.

Greens will gain a Manchester Mayor.

Labour will still have abandoned all its principles.

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

As a Green party member I completely disagree. If the Greens enable a Reform victory, it will be unforgivable. The threat Reform pose is existential.

[Darren Parkinson 🌍💚💙 @DarrenBar88]

Good

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

As a Green Party member I agree 100% with Caroline Lucas. If the Greens were to facilitate a Reform victory this would be unforgivable. The threat to our whole way of life, to human rights, to justice and decency are under threat. Greens need to step back.

[Rachel Millward @rachelmillward]

Any political project that intends to defeat Reform must have at its core:

1. Redistribution of the wealth in this country via a fairer tax system, inc wealth tax

2. Redistribution of power via a fairer electoral system at the very least.

Is this on offer in Labour contest?

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

As a Green Party member, agree 100%

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

I think @TheGreenParty should not put up a candidate in Makerfield but should say they support Burnham

It is absolutely crucial that Reform do not win

Burnham already supports Proportional Representation. He should make a pledge to the Greens to pursue this as prime minister

[Alison Whyte @AlisonmWhyte]

As a Green party member I could not disagree more. If the Greens bury Labour and enable Reform to win the seat, it will be unforgivable. Burnham is the only Labour politician who supports PR and would work with the Greens, and he is more likely to become PM than Zack.

[Paul Barasi @PaulBarasi]

@earthygirl011 Caroline Lucas is wonderful but not perfect, nor is she always correct. The Greens come to bury Labour not to praise its cosmetic makeover.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Former Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas says she hopes the Greens will “put country before party” and not campaign against Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election
