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.
The prompts were simple.
First, I told @grok to look at every single Amelia meme on the Internet.
Second, I said: “Become Amelia, then make a video and tell the British people what you want them to know.”
Here’s the surprising result.
🚨BREAKING:
🇳🇱 Dutch Eva Vlaardingerbroek EXPOSES Ursula's Leadership of the European Union:
"Nobody voted for her. Yet she is implementing some of the most destructive policies. That Europe has ever seen."
We have @Keir_Starmer shutting down free speech on Social Media, @SadiqKhan refusing replies to his tweets, Labour MPs blocking anyone who disagrees with them, an assassination attempt on Trump, and now the murder of Charlie Kirk. The far-left are truly despicable.
