Makerfield just appointed a Reform councillor married to a convicted pedophile so doesn’t bode well, sadly.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

Timothée Chalamet would’ve fucking loved getting a question on the red carpet off Tubes from Soccer AM, maybe more than anyone ever.

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

At the WCC in 2024, he was the last player to leave the field, signing autographs and taking pictures long after the game had finished. There wasn’t a single fan left waiting.

What a gem of a bloke.

[Atherton & Leigh foodbank @ALfoodbank]

We had an extra volunteer today.
Nathan Cleary, star @PenrithPanthers & @Kangaroos called and put a shift in, packing bags and getting involved.
Thanks for your help today Nathan, you made a real difference and helped people facing hardship to stay well fed.
It’s a team effort

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

Rewatched the game and I’m not being dramatic, but he shouldn’t be allowed to referee at Old Trafford ever again.

Blatant red missed, non-existent added time and at one point he just stops an attack for a laugh. Get him away from the league.

[Mike Keegan @MikeKeegan_DM]

Best performance at Old Trafford tonight? Andrew Kitchen, the referee. Aged 29 and reffing his fifth Premier League match. Got little wrong.

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

First half was class. Second half was woeful.

Some of the lads need to hear some brutal truths after that. No idea what the next generation looks like either.

Would prefer to see England play against club sides to warm up and improve to be honest.

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

No point playing Lewis if the only thing he can offer is average kicking. Need a full back that actually defends. Forward pack looked spent after 4 minutes in the second half. Bateman can’t be playing more than 30 mins a game.

Only positives were KPP and Litten.

A new third-person ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ action game is reportedly in early development

The game is designed, in a way, to “compete with ‘Hogwarts Legacy’”

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

I’d love to hear the discussion behind this one and how they decide it’s not a red.

How can you control a ball you’ve been prevented from getting? Isn’t that the whole point of the rule??

It’s a professional foul to prevent a first time finish???

[Premier League Match Centre @PLMatchCentre]

#BREMUN – 71’

The referee’s call of penalty was checked and confirmed by VAR – with Collins deemed to pulled Mbeumo back. VAR also checked the referee’s call of yellow card to Collins - and deemed that Mbeumo wasn’t in control of the ball.

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

Just sack him. Wank system that works against one type of football that nobody plays against us because they’re not stupid.

Appoint someone who’s worked at the club before and stop giving the keys to people with egos and nothing to gain.

And stop playing that shit keeper ffs.

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

You have to assume Peter Bankes has sent Casemiro off because he’s jealous of his hairline at his age?

Might be the most pathetic second yellow in the history of the game.

[Man United News @ManUtdMEN]

A sad day for the Manchester Evening News as we prepare to say farewell to Samuel Luckhurst.

A brilliant journalist who has given his all to the M.E.N.

You will be sorely missed. We wish you nothing but the best.

We really got rid of Rashford, huh?

[Steven 🇾🇪 @StevenLAllen]

He conceded 150 goals in 78 games???
