The hope of Makerfield must now survive contact with Westminster.
People in towns like Wigan have been polled and profiled by a politics run from London for decades. They have seen decline settle in around them while being told that their problems are complicated and their instincts are wrong.
And yet still the people of Makerfield constituency amazingly gave hope one more try and voted for it and for @AndyBurnhamGM decisively.
What matters now, and what will matter just as much a year after the next leader is chosen, is whether that vote survives contact with Westminster.
Andy will now travel to SW1A with hope in hand to the very place that kills it, again and again, with its reviews and consultations and filtering of every word a Minister is allowed to say.
Andy Burnham, and lots more of us in @UKLabour want to do politics differently!! BUT it will actually mean doing things differently, acting differently and changing Westminster and Whitehall!
When you're halfway through washing your car and the car wash cuts out due to a 8pm time curfew, and there's no signage to inform you that this is the case. Not really good enough @MotorFuelGroup
Not a big follower of politics these days. However in football parlance, it feels like reform are looking to put out a decent first 11. Taking Ms Braverman into the fold is aspiring to win the champions league with Bret Angel up front. (Sorry Bret)
@LtTimMcMillan Let's just add a little bit of scorched earth right there at the bottom. Yep there it is. Don't be afraid to laugh whilst your doing it.
Tony O’Keefe was an off duty fireman at Hillsborough,on the pitch helping people, a staunch fighter for justice. He eventually got to give evidence at the inquest in his uniform. He didn’t ask for gongs off the establishment and his name isn’t widely known. It should be,RIP Tony
Lot of blame being given to kyle walker for both goals on here. Playing on the right side of a 3 centre half combo. With a wing back ahead of him playing like a forward was always going to be a challenge. No suprise that little came down the left with a natural wing back there.
