Andy Burnham was a Cabinet Minister in Gordon Brown's failed government. In the 2010 leadership contest he finished fourth out of five candidates; ultimately won by Ed Miliband. In 2015: He ran again as an early favourite but ultimately finished second to Jeremy Corbyn.

On this day in 2004, Ronald Reagan passed away. A true friend of the United Kingdom, his legacy was one of freedom.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@DPJHodges @Lescromps A new face at Number 10 but the same failing Labour policies.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

If voters of Makerfield vote Labour yet again they mustn't be surprised if nothing changes except the face at Number 10.

@spiralofpurity @lmharpin How does a Burnham Premiership help Reform?

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

Do you suppose our current crop of 650 MPs are all brilliant individuals? Government is all about a few key Ministers and a thumping majority of compliant MPs.

[Maggie Scarisbrick @MaggieScarisbr1]

@lmharpin @vjl2 We can expect over 600 of this ilk in 2029.
But, not to worry. Hardly any of them would end up in a Farage cabinet of cronies.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@lmharpin This is Andy Burnham's by election to lose. Imagine ReformUK had put up Zia Yusuf or similar. They would have been accused of parachuting in a candidate. In a 'battle of celebrities' Burnham wins. ReformUK had to choose a local bloke or woman for this unusual by-election.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@Chriss_m @annaroseridgway At a General Election when we elect 650 MPs all at once, a good number of new and very unimpressive individuals get elected. They get in under the radar. In a high profile by-election there is nowhere to hide.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@LutonEye @BBCNewsPR @bbcquestiontime Look again at the bar chart you reposted. Makerfield isn't a three horse race. It's a two horse race. Only ReformUK can stop Labour winning.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@Horsesandjosh @giris4u @DailyMail So if I want decent white eggs I have to go to farm shops etc? The ones I occasionally buy in the supermarket aren't as strong. Apart from white leghorns, can you suggest a breed that lays good, strong white eggs.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@Horsesandjosh @giris4u @DailyMail OK, I seem to have never seen a really nice white egg then. Are all the well fed free rangers brown egg layers then?

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@Chriss_m @TiceRichard Reform needs at least 326 seats to govern. The individual skill-set of MPs will vary but this quite unique by election needed a candidate like Robert Kenyon. In a 'battle of celebrities' I'm afraid Andy Burnham wins. Reform couldn't pull this off by parachuting a big name in.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@Phil_Gwilliam @JackieD86388657 Don't get too excited; just a few LibDem voters watch these days.

[Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 @TiceRichard]

Reform 10 points ahead of the rest

We are saying what millions are thinking

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@giris4u @DailyMail Yes, I understand this but people like food to look good. If supermarkets move to white shelled eggs I'm sure the market for brown ones will still be there. In the 60s and 70s it was all white eggs but the customer wanted something nicer looking.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@BasilTheGreat

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@giris4u @DailyMail White eggs often have thinner shells that are more difficult to boil without breaking. They are thinner because white laying flocks often have older hens. Older hens lay thinner shelled eggs.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@elonmusk @brivael Quarks even tinier.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

White eggs tend to have thinner shells. They always seem to break when lightly boiled.

[Chris Parry @DrChrisParry]

Go woke, go broke.

@AndyBurnhamGM Yes! All those ReformUK campaigners and voters are a breath of fresh air.

[The Black Jack @MikeARPowell]

@TomK_Brit1993 @HowardWilkins56 Impatience for the next General Election.
