[donut 🌹 @donutical]

objectively one of the funniest things to come from this by election is seeing new statesman journalists increasingly stumped on what "manchesterism" is, while Burnham grows increasingly vague on the concept. Ailbhe Rea's piece on it this week really highlights this.

@Wilkism_ i used https://t.co/38PaHk34RY to make the parliament diagram and used svgtopng to convert it to png then used paint net to overlay the diagram onto the wikibox high res screenshot and cropped out the canddiate portraits to add my own

[donut 🌹 @donutical]

@Wilkism_ no you go to the "edit source" section then copy the actual wikibox and paste it into your sandbox page on Wikipedia (you just need an account) then i edited it there and used this https://t.co/U0A6NExgiy guide to screenshot it, then (1/2)

@Wilkism_ 1. the pod here is that Macmillan doesn't resign and i think he was too tied to the tory sleaze and corruption at the time to bounce back electorally like home did

2. cuz i couldnt bear to see the big h get landslided :(
