Congratulations to Andy Burnham on his huge victory in Makerfield! 🌹
It’s proven Farage can be beaten at the next General Election.
But as Andy said last night: “This is a final chance to change.”

I’m delighted that @AndyBurnhamGM has won and has shown that in the end hope will always override hatred and division. @UKLabour have won a campaign based on positivity and a track record of delivery and his victory is well deserved. ❤️
Feeling truly humbled and honoured!
Today, I officially became Leader of Wigan Council.
Never in a million years could I have imagined this was possible.
I am looking forward to working with and delivering for everyone in Wigan, Leigh and Makerfield.
As a Labour health minister I was part of the team that delivered

Routine menopause checks at age 40 ✅
A women's health minister to tackle medical misogyny ✅
Please @AConstance23 listen to @kittysull1 copy our work and treat Scots women seriously.
I'm delighted to hear this, it's been an important campaign for @UNISONinLG I was pleased to take part in.

I’m pushing for more well-paid manufacturing jobs and to bring industry back to our area.
Renewable energy is one sector that can provide huge opportunities for the North of England.
I am proud and humbled to have been selected as Labour’s candidate for Makerfield.
These proud working-class communities represent the very best values of our country and they deserve so much better. It would be my honour to work for them every day, if elected as their MP, to achieve that.
Many people here feel Westminster isn’t working for them and they are right. I am standing to change that and get the voice of these communities heard loud and clear.
I am glad that this by-election has finally put the places that make up the Makerfield constituency into the national spotlight. They have been neglected by national politics for too long. It is a good thing that all political parties are now on the hook to tell the voters here what they are going to do for them.
More than anything, people need life to be more affordable again. As Mayor, I have brought in changes which are helping, such as the £2 fare cap, free bus travel for our 16-18 year-olds and removing the 9.30am restriction from older and disabled people’s bus passes. But there is only so much I can do from Greater Manchester. If elected, I will have a relentless focus on reducing people’s everyday costs and bills and well as securing the investment these communities need.
I have been an elected representative in Greater Manchester for 25 years. Throughout that time, I have fought for the people of the North West of England on so many fronts. I am now ready to bring the whole weight of that experience to fighting for the communities of the Makerfield constituency and would be privileged to be given that opportunity.
