I am proud to announce local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd as our Restore Britain candidate for the Makerfield constituency.
Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living and working in the Wigan borough, where she has built and run her own small business. Through that experience, she understands first-hand the pressures facing local businesses and working people across the community.
Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape, and bureaucracy, which continue to make everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families, and stay afloat.
Put simply - she understands what local men and women are going through.
This is the type of person we need in politics. Not career politicians, but genuine people with real life experience.
Rebecca is particularly passionate about improving SEND access and support across the local area. Her interest in SEND-friendly activities comes through the work she does within her Community Interest Company, where she has seen first-hand the importance of opportunities, practical support, and activities for people with additional needs.
Rebecca is standing for Makerfield because she believes local people deserve honest representation, accountability, and someone prepared to fight for the interests of the community rather than their own political careers.
I look forward to campaigning with Rebecca, and putting forward Restore Britain’s positive vision for the Makerfield constituency.
Rupert Lowe,
Restore Britain Leader
Our local priorities:
Safer streets for women and girls - tackling the gangs of foreign men who harass and intimidate local women and girls in Ashton, and elsewhere across the constituency and the Wigan Borough.
Fight reckless overdevelopment in areas including South Hindley, and Winstanley - roads, dentists and GPs must come before responsible house building provided for local families.
Improved SEND support for those in genuine need - we must avoid overdiagnosis, but also provide proper investment to those who need it. Including a constituency-wide investment programme for the improvement and maintenance of children’s playgrounds.
Tackle anti-social behaviour in Ashton and elsewhere - no-nonsense, visible policing to crack down on criminal activity in our towns. Parents too must be held responsible for what their children are inflicting on the community. We say enough is enough.
Restore our high streets - push for free car parking to drive footfall, abolish business rates to reinvigorate our town centres and deliver a full investigation into the explosion of vape shops and Turkish barbers for trading standards/immigration non-compliance.
We are in this to win it.
BREAKING: Man Utd are set to appoint Michael Carrick as an interim manager.
He will then be replaced by Eric Djemba-Djemba on an interim basis, before David May takes the reins as caretaker ahead of the permanent appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Desperately need one for Oasis at Heaton Park on Sunday 20th July please!
I didn’t dare try for the original sale as I was having chemo and didn’t know I would be up to it.
I’ve managed to get one, but I can’t go alone as am still not 100%!
Retweets/help appreciated!!!
This young Wolves U7 star tragically lost his mum 💔—but just days later, he still turned up for his team and delivered a MOTM performance 👏
Truly inspirational 🙏❤️ His mum would be so proud. 🐺⚽️
Just seen the devastating news about an old school friend aged 31 tragically battling cancer for the last 2 years and now unfortunately it has metastasised to her lungs & bones.
She has two beautiful twin daughters who are going to lose their mum and she’s never going to get to see them grow up.
Please,
If you can spare even £5 to help Penny make memories with her friends and family, even a share would be appreciated.
You never know what is around the corner, make sure you’re always checking for lumps and bumps and please get checked at the doctor 🫶🏼
