The latest from Ashton in Makerfield…

[Jonny Ross 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇺🇦 @jonnyross05]

I still think Andy Burnham will get over the line, but this is definitely not a done deal for him.

Should also add there’s a fair few Restore posters around Hindley too.

MAKERFIELD LATEST

• Reform definitely winning the poster war and personnel on the ground in Hindley, Platt Bridge and Abram.

• Ashton seems slightly better for Labour and can say the same for Orrell.

• Turnout I don’t think will be as high as some make it out to be…

[Jonny Ross 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇺🇦 @jonnyross05]

In Makerfield now.

Really getting the impression this is not a done deal for Andy Burnham at all…

“I hope England win so that blokes don’t beat up their wives and girlfriends. Come on boys do it for the girls”

Reform hit a new low. Good grief

[Michael Winstanley @Winstamike]

I hope that people across Makerfield will vote for the truly local candidate who has a plan for Makerfield. Polls are open until 10pm. Vote Michael for Makerfield.

@HasAhmed_ Congratulations!!! So happy it all worked out in the end

On Thursday it will be exactly two years since I graduated from the University of Dundee with a First-Class degree in Financial Economics.

I took the long route.

Rejected from university more than once. An HNC, then an HND. Then back to college as an adult to sit Nat 5 Maths, a school qualification, because that was the door I needed to open.

Throughout all of it, I had no idea I had dyslexia.

For years I assumed I simply wasn’t as academic as other people. I worked twice as hard just to keep up, never understanding why.

The hardest part wasn’t the exams. It was the quiet, grinding self-doubt. Wondering whether some doors were simply never going to open for someone like me.

But I kept going. And eventually, the door opened.

I made it to university, became President of the Finance and Investment Society, and four years later walked away with a First. On the exact day I submitted my dissertation, the community that raised me elected me as their councillor.

Two years later I am standing to become the MP for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry.

Not because life went according to plan. But because I refused to stop when it didn’t.

Every child should be screened for dyslexia. No young person should spend years doubting themselves when the real issue is simply that they learn differently.

Talent is spread evenly. Opportunity and support are not.

If this reaches one young person working twice as hard and wondering why: your path does not need to look like anyone else’s. The door will open. Keep going.

On Thursday I am asking Arbroath and Broughty Ferry for the chance to take that into Parliament.

Ten years ago today.

We are proud to fly the Union Flag, the Flag of St George and the #Enfield Beast Flag outside the Civic Centre. Cllr Georgiou explains more in this short video.
Keep an eye out for details of our Armed Forces Day service. A flag commemorating this day will also be flown.

[Darren Johnson @DarrenJohnson66]

When I was in the Greens I used to have rows with the more radical elements about damage to property but there was, at least, always complete agreement that violence against the person was not a legitimate form of direct action. Thank God I'm no longer involved now.

Classic example of 4-5 party politics here to stay.

Mojtaba Khamenei has made a surprise appearance at the Tel Aviv Pride Parade 🏳️‍🌈

[Next Gen Tories @NextGenTories]

The Next Gen Tories in action.

After @SadiqKhan’s Labour council scrapped this hugely popular pedestrianisation scheme, siding with a vocal but small minority of complainants, it’s great to see it reinstated by the @Conservatives.

Yes. And I will 💅

[Emma Best AM @EmmaBest22]

Since I was elected in 2021 I’ve been asking the Mayor to give a shit about London’s nightlife.

I’m glad he’s woken up, but on the day the Police Commissioner is warning the Mayor’s tantrum could cause millions of pounds of frontline cuts maybe there is bigger fish to fry.

[Luke Robert Black 🌳 @lukerobertblack]

You have been Mayor for 10 years. Your party *ran* the councils in Soho and Hackney.

YOUR party in Hackney has banned new venues being open after midnight on a Saturday night, in 2016. You’ve had a decade to fix this, Sir.

No one is buying this sudden change of heart.

[Paul Fisher @PaulEFishr]

This is an indictment of the government’s economic record. Youth unemployment at levels last seen during the pandemic. Opportunities shrinking. A stagnating jobs market letting down a whole generation.

@NicholasLissack @WestMidRailway If your railcard has expired then they have a reason to give you a penalty fare. Unfortunately that’s the rules.
