Just finished a three-hour discussion with 50-60 undecided voters covering everything from cost-of-living and immigration to Wigan Roller Rink!

People are really engaged in this by-election and it is brilliant to see.

Thanks for coming along, everyone. 🙏🏻

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

For future reference, this is a criminal offence. Don’t do it, regardless of the party.

Hopefully this herbert sees this and feels embarrassed!

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Fantastic to have so many members out on the doorstep today in Makerfield for our Co-op Campaign Day to help elect Labour & Co-operative candidate @AndyBurnhamGM. 🌹🐝

[Andy Burnham for Makerfield @andy4makerfield]

Andy joined local business owner Matt for his morning dog walk, and talked about why Makerfield means so much to him.

[Andy Burnham for Makerfield @andy4makerfield]

Whoever this is, we’d appreciate your help on the 19th of June as we’ll have about 650 stakes to take down, but could you give it a rest for now 👍

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

A great couple of days in Makerfield this week for the Labour & Co-operative by-election candidate Andy Burnham. And the weather mostly held up too!🌹🐝 💪

[Financial Times @FT]

Keir Starmer has made his strongest criticism to date of Elon Musk, accusing the billionaire of 'trying to whip up division' after Musk posted 110 times about British politics in the past week https://t.co/Mx93oA4tbp

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 WATCH: An audience member tells Reform candidate Rob Kenyon that she'd "rather have a career politician than a plumber who's a sexist"

"I won't accept that label... I was brought up by women. I have nothing but respect for women"

[Barbara Cannon @BarbaraACannon]

Farage turned up in Parliament today, a rare event. He used the language of hate and extremism. The rule of law apparently does not apply to him and his followers.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Well said Stephen Roberts, an actual police expert who knows what he is talking about, for calling out the despicable attempt by @Nigel_Farage to exploit this for his own ends. Now have the ludicrous @ZiaYusufUK talking absolute drivel attacking the BBC

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

I thought the Prime Minister was outstanding at PMQs in response to Nigel Farage’s question about the tragic murder of Henry Novak.

Calm, dignified and decent leadership at an important moment.

Thank you @Keir_Starmer

We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.

10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.

10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.

Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

This is the difference this Labour government is making.

Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.

An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

My update tonight comes from streets that were part of my old constituency of Leigh. Not so much campaigning as catching up with old friends!

Over a million workers are now supported by the net zero economy.

Last year we broke the record for solar generation.

This year we’ve already broken records for offshore wind generation.

That’s what delivering on our clean power mission looks like.

Andy’s focus is simple: make life more affordable, bring investment back to communities like Makerfield, and reconnect Labour with its roots.

He’s in it for us.
