After taking a serious look at how we live today, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that we need to radically change the way we live into the future.

@MatthewStadlen The real landslide event was the 66% of the electorate who didn't want a Starmer led Labour government.

@andy4makerfield Those who believe Andy Burnham gives two hoots about the constituents in Makerfield are living in cloud cuckoo land. It wasn't that long ago that he tried to get selected for the Gorton & Denton constituency. The man's a charlatan, just another disingenuous politician.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@andy4makerfield If Mr. Burnham is so committed to the constituents of Makerfield, as he claims, why did he try to stand for the Gorton & Denton by election earlier this year? The man's a complete charlatan. Burnham's motivation is a selfish and blatant career move, plain and simple.

@TomLondon6 AND THE PARENTS? WHERE ARE THE PARENTS IN ALL OF THIS, TOM?

@ShockatAdam Astonishing to witness a member of the UK's parliament giving succour to criminals. Unacceptable behaviour from a member of its legislature.

@LBC Is there anyone who actually believes this rhetoric? Keeping the triple lock, slashing the welfare budget and increasing spending on defence. Really?

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@MikeTappTweets Performative nonsense to appease those who are calling out this hapless Labour government over its defence funding mess. Healey & Carns resigned over the issue but their colleagues prefer denial and gaslighting.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@PolitlcsUK @theipaper Trying to appease everyone with undeliverable promises. This is peak gaslighting from yet another disingenuous Labour politician.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@lizzietrueman @ZackPolanski They Greens have no chance of winning Makerfield. And I agree about the 'Green hubris' taking a nose dive. Haven't seen much of Mothin Ali either. It looks like realpolitik has finally set in!

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@MirrorPolitics Does anyone actually believe that sort of rhetorical garbage? These gaslighting politicians are beyond the pale.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@bradfordgreens @ZackPolanski @MothinAli Don't focus on personal slurs. What you need to worry about is the fact that average of all polls during the month of May puts the Green Party at 13.95%. You're not cutting it with the electorate. That's your problem right now.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@timespolitics Didn't Starmer try to do that, only to have his backbenchers turn on him. What makes Burnham think he can do what Starmer failed to achieve? I don't believe a word of the ridiculous platitudes that are uttered from the mouths of these gaslighting politicians.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@MyArrse Average across all polls during the month of May puts support for @TheGreenParty at 13.95%. The 'Green' balloon has burst and is now in decline.

@MaryCreagh_ @angelaeagle Late April 1st prank.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@sales_belinda The message many folk will take from this exchange is that Labour MPs can't be trusted.

@shonad7674 @theSNP Nationalism is, by definition, an exclusive, divisive and far-right concept.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@ionafyfe Nationalism is the real problematic issue and is, by definition, inherently divisive. It is a far-right, exclusive concept. Inclusivity means the removal of all national borders. Let's hear you call for that.

[Simon Oakden @simon_oakden]

@GuidoFawkes Reeves was very quick out of the blocks to claim her policies were working when the economy grew. Will she now be as quick to take responsibility for the negative growth, I wonder?
