Let’s have a think about what’s happening in Makerfield.
This by election is costing taxpayers £226,208. And it’s happening because a Labour MP chose to step aside to make room for Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions. He admitted that himself.
But here’s some more interesting figures.
If Burnham wins, he’ll have to resign as Greater Manchester Mayor too. That triggers another election costing taxpayers around £4.7 million.
So in total, nearly £5 million of public money could be spent not on improving services, fixing roads, supporting communities or helping struggling families, but on political career ambitions.
People are struggling with bills, crime, NHS waiting lists and communities being ignored. Yet Westminster politics still seems focused on who climbs the ladder next.
That’s what frustrates people. Not democracy. Political games made to look like democracy.
@RobinW1966 @TheBritishIntel It was filmed on Saturday morning above Dartmoor for the start of this year's Ten Tors Challenge. I was there along with 3000 orhers. Its all over Instagram.
@fesshole However everyone who turns a blind eye to shoplifting is helping to push up the prices for the rest of us. Your minimum wage will stretch even less
@LukePollard Cheerss Luke - I'm in the Rezerves and you've just stopped paying for our training for the rest of the FY. And you want us to be deployable up to 65 now...
🔥CHRISTMAS in the WEST 2025
Imagine Governments allowing such hostile violent people into your country, that hate you so much that you need large concrete bollards & armed guards to stop them from killing you while you celebrate your customs & traditions in YOUR OWN COUNTRY.
Islamophobia does not exist, Islamic terrorism does.
They paint Christmas colours on bollards & dress them up in Christmas decorations but we all remember why they are there.
What our Governments have done to us is unforgivable, they must be held accountable.
The West needs Remigration & Mass Deportations NOW.
🚨 HEADS UP
Over 52,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria by Islamic extremists.
-Not a word from the mainstream media.
-Not a word from the UN.
-Not a word from the EU.
-Not a word from alternative media either.
-No support flotiilas.
Nothing!
This is the real genocide happening right now.
Islam needs to be eradicated.
Retweet to make this go viral and get the word out to everyone.
There hasn’t been a single positive aspect to mass immigration. Zero. None.
All it has brought Europe was cultural decay, impoverishment and insecurity. And if nothing changes, we will soon become a minority in our own homelands.
Remigration is the only solution.
From my very good friend
Lt Col Simon Barry PARA…
"I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built in Dalton! I think it should be the goal of everyone living in Huddersfield to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance."
"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy," and the other, a topless bar, would be called "You Mecca Me Hot."
"Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called " Iraq of Ribs."
“Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret," with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods", and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered."
"All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of non Muslims.”
Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on. And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point... It is either past your bedtime, or it's midnight at the oasis and time to put your camel to bed!!
@weareopenreach supposedly the pole outside my house has been condemned and flagged for replacement since 2024. If so then why hasn't it been replaced? You are putting us at risk. One more cable will not affect it
@WeAreOpenreach any chance someone could confirm if an engineer is booked to fix our problem? First engineer didn't bother to enter it properly on the system and lied that it was fixed!
@WeAreOpenreach The job notes from 2 wks ago said a hoist is needed due to a D notice on the pole. But no hoist sent, just an engineer with a ladder. Can't you read, analyse, plan and communicate?
@WeAreOpenreach once again you have failed. 3rd visit by engineer, no hoist despite the jobs notes stating a hoist needed. Are you incompetent? Openreach Bristol patch manager supposedly now aware & dealing with it.
@WeAreOpenreach Engineer turned up but without a hoist. This isn't a provider @SkyUK thing, it's an Openreach failure! Supposedly someone will be here later to fix but you've not given me much confidence based on current form
@WeAreOpenreach@SkyUK have been in touch with you many times. Engineer arrived this morning but without a hoist, despite this being in the job notes (ORLO?) - D notice on the pole! Supposedly Bristol patch manager is aware. Will we ever get connected? Or are we going back to @virginmedia
