I used to work as an with @joshsimonsmp in Makerfield and am pleased to be helping on @AndyBurnhamGM campaign 🌹
Here’s some tips if you're coming to campaign this weekend 👇🏻🧵
A No10 up North?👀
We're down. Northerners feel so far removed from politics while decisions are made hundreds of miles away.
But - this only works if it comes with stronger devolved powers, on tax, transport spending, culture.
That would TRULY transform the North.
If you are a 6th Form or Uni student from Beckenham & Penge - you can apply for my free Politics Summer School in Parliament!

And finally, thank you for coming to help us make a difference here- its very exciting for this area to get so much love ❤️ If you speak to someone who's from the constituency team (or wigan and leigh) please show them some love too
Lets do this 🌹💃🏻

6. Make this seem like a fun and exciting thing for the area. We must avoid this being a top down campaign, if we want to change the labour party we have to get back to our grassroots, and proving that through our attitude to voters is an essential part of this 🤠

5. Please get Garden Stakes to our Labour voters! We know Reform will hit this hard, so lets be a step ahead. We need high visibility on all our main roads and estates, lets aim to get 5 on each road group (at least...!)
(4/)
3. Mkf is not used to this much political attention! Be courteous and understanding - don’t argue people away from voting Labour (eg. Park nicely!)
4. Let residents lead conversations on the doorstep, this is about them NOT us. (3/)
1. We are expecting hundreds of volunteers to come and help. Please be patient with the campaign team! Please be in and out of the campaign centre fast ❤️
2. "Makerfield" doesn't exist! Residents identify as the town they're from (eg. Hindley, Orrell, Ashton, Winstanley) (2/)
The problem here (like many councils ) is people not connecting a Labour run authority with the positive changes that they are finally seeing in their area
I feel that people will realise far too late that it takes a lot of hard graft to get results
WATCH the moment Labour lose Barnsley Council after 50 years in power.
“It’s hard, I’ve given everything to this town” - live reaction from Sir Stephen Houghton, he’s been leader of Barnsley Council for 30 years.
