![JChimirie66677's tweet photo. Before Anyone Crowns Burnham, Ask Him About The Cover Up.
Andy Burnham arrived in Makerfield this weekend as Labour's saviour. He left Sunday evening having retreated from his own position on Europe within 24 hours and facing a whistleblower's allegation of a cover-up in his own commissioned review.
Start with Europe. Last year Burnham said he hoped in his lifetime to see Britain rejoin the European Union. On Saturday his allies confirmed he stood by that view. On Sunday, facing a backlash in a constituency that voted 65 percent to Leave, his spokesman insisted he would not be standing on a national manifesto and would focus on local issues. A position held on Saturday abandoned by Sunday in a seat where Reform will put his own words on their leaflets. The voters of Makerfield will draw their own conclusions about a politician who says what the room wants to hear.
Then there is Maggie Oliver. Oliver is not a political opponent. She is a whistleblower who spent sixteen years in Greater Manchester Police, resigned over its handling of the Rochdale abuse ring, and won a judicial review against successive governments for failing to implement the recommendations of the Jay inquiry. Her charge against Burnham is specific and serious.
The fourth part of Burnham's own commissioned review into child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester was, in her words, a cover-up. A paper exercise. The two independent reviewers who had spent six years scrutinising Greater Manchester Police resigned because they were blocked from accessing documents and speaking to survivors. The final assurance review, published last year, was instead carried out by HMIC. Oliver says it did not speak to a single victim or survivor from the last seven years.
This did not happen before Burnham became Mayor. It happened between 2019 and 2025, under his watch, in his name, with his authority. The review was meant to provide assurance that things had improved. Oliver's verdict is that it provided cover instead.
Burnham commissioned the earlier reviews. That credit has been extended to him repeatedly and fairly. But commissioning accountability is not the same as delivering it. The final review, the one that was supposed to confirm whether the recommendations had been implemented and whether victims were safer, is the one Oliver describes as a paper exercise that blocked the people best placed to scrutinise it.
The mayoralty has given Burnham something Westminster could not. Distance from scrutiny. Regional media is a shadow of its former self. When things go wrong a Mayor can blame the government. When things go right he takes the credit. The reputation for accountability on child sexual exploitation that Burnham has built over eight years rests almost entirely on the first three reviews. The fourth, the one that was supposed to confirm whether the changes had actually been made, is the one Oliver describes as a cover-up. The reputation and the reality, on the evidence of the person who knows most about both, do not match.
Burnham may yet win Makerfield. His personal popularity is real and may carry him over the line against a Reform candidate who won the local wards 50 percent to Labour's 22 percent. He may yet become Labour leader and Prime Minister.
But the communities he is asking to send him to Westminster are the same communities where these failures happened. They deserve a straight answer about the cover-up allegation before they cast their votes. Not a local manifesto. Not a focus on bus routes. An answer. Maggie Oliver has asked the question. Burnham has not answered it.

There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
Insane
¡Están literalmente ahorcando gente, sobre todo a mujeres!
Esto es el islam tradicional practicando la Sharia. No son los extremistas.
Van a gobernar la mayor parte de Occidente.
This Muslim man says “No one can stop Islam in America. This is not your Country, it’s OUR Country.”
What’s your response to him ??

🤬Sick: A Muslim man proposes to a 7-year-old girl, she agrees, and they’ll marry when she’s 8.
Islam clashes with all other cultures.
Deport Islamists and ban Islamic immigration before it’s too late?
A. Yes
B. No
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: This Muslim wedding in Turkey where the groom slapped a baby girl who was his bride in the face after removing her red veil as she appears sad and crying has resurfaced due to discussions on if Islam is ‘compatible with the west.’
In Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other Islamic countries, children dance for older Muslim men, then are bought and abused. This is Islam.
Islam is not a religion of peace!
A proud Muslim father filmed his young daughter beheading her doll as a sacrifice for Allah, aka Islam’s god.
Before the ritual, the little girl looks straight into the camera and warns Christians: “My sword has been sharpened to destroy you.”
A troubling video that, according to multiple reports, apparently documents a Muslim teacher abusing young orphan children in an Islamic school (madrassa).
The scenes are deeply disturbing.
I have no problem with Islam. I’m just against beheading, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya, slave trading, rape, forced conversions, jihad, burqa, attacking other religions, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse, multiple wives, murder, Sharia, terrorism, brainwashing, intolerance, greed, anti-science, torture, illiteracy, gluttony, genital mutilation, inbreeding. Does that make me Islamophobic?
🚨 WOW, we need MORE Europeans waking up like this!
“You're not French, you have an Arab head... Don't say you're French when you're dressed as an 8th-century Bedouin like you are!"
🔥🔥🔥
NO MORE ISLAM. Keep it to the 3rd world.
Andy Burnham in Makerfield, posing with dogs to push the “relatable man of the people” image.
This is textbook PR from a lifelong career politician: carefully staged optics over any real substance. It all feels so contrived and painfully obvious what’s going on.
While the country is shifting right, Burnham is still offering the same familiar Labour script that’s increasingly out of touch.
Next thing he’ll be kissing babies!

I am proud to announce local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd as our Restore Britain candidate for the Makerfield constituency.
Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living and working in the Wigan borough, where she has built and run her own small business. Through that experience, she understands first-hand the pressures facing local businesses and working people across the community.
Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape, and bureaucracy, which continue to make everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families, and stay afloat.
Put simply - she understands what local men and women are going through.
This is the type of person we need in politics. Not career politicians, but genuine people with real life experience.
Rebecca is particularly passionate about improving SEND access and support across the local area. Her interest in SEND-friendly activities comes through the work she does within her Community Interest Company, where she has seen first-hand the importance of opportunities, practical support, and activities for people with additional needs.
Rebecca is standing for Makerfield because she believes local people deserve honest representation, accountability, and someone prepared to fight for the interests of the community rather than their own political careers.
I look forward to campaigning with Rebecca, and putting forward Restore Britain’s positive vision for the Makerfield constituency.
Rupert Lowe,
Restore Britain Leader
Our local priorities:
Safer streets for women and girls - tackling the gangs of foreign men who harass and intimidate local women and girls in Ashton, and elsewhere across the constituency and the Wigan Borough.
Fight reckless overdevelopment in areas including South Hindley, and Winstanley - roads, dentists and GPs must come before responsible house building provided for local families.
Improved SEND support for those in genuine need - we must avoid overdiagnosis, but also provide proper investment to those who need it. Including a constituency-wide investment programme for the improvement and maintenance of children’s playgrounds.
Tackle anti-social behaviour in Ashton and elsewhere - no-nonsense, visible policing to crack down on criminal activity in our towns. Parents too must be held responsible for what their children are inflicting on the community. We say enough is enough.
Restore our high streets - push for free car parking to drive footfall, abolish business rates to reinvigorate our town centres and deliver a full investigation into the explosion of vape shops and Turkish barbers for trading standards/immigration non-compliance.
We are in this to win it.
ABSOLUTE CARNAGE ON LBC!🔥
“I Hate Andy Burnham!” 😳
A furious caller from Makerfield, Wigan just absolutely slaughtered “backstabber” Andy Burnham live on air and it’s brutal.
She didn’t hold back:
“I cannot vote for Andy Burnham. I hate Andy Burnham. He’s the biggest backstabber you will ever meet.”
“He walked away from Westminster and now this man thinks he can just walk into Wigan’s seat?”
“I hate disloyalty and he threw his dummy out and walked away. I will not vote for him.”
People thinking Burnham’s going to stroll back into Parliament as the next Labour hero… you might want to listen to this. His own backyard is not rolling out the red carpet.
Local anger is real. The knives are out!
🚨 Keir Starmer just doubled down: He WON’T give a resignation timetable EVEN if Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election!
He claims he’s “in politics to serve his country” 🤡
What a load of absolute SHIT. He’s drunk on power, serving only himself while destroying Britain.
A Pakistani migrant and drug dealer was allowed to stay in Britain even after sexually assaulting two women in broad daylight.
Why? Because deporting him "might be negative for his mental health".
He was instead fined £200.
The UK values migrant feelings over women's safety.
“They killed my mother for being too old to be a sex slave. They killed all my brothers for refusing to convert to Islam.”
-Nadia Murad
“I was raped and tortured everyday for 6 months.”
This is life for non-Muslims in Middle East.
Turkey : A Muslim woman in Hijab is seen pricking a needle on the shoulder of a Christian girl without Hijab. It’s extremely dangerous as the needle could be infected with a deadly virus and may cause severe disease.
Why they hate non muslims ?
Dear Girls, Be alert everywhere
A Palestinian refugee, who claimed to be "fleeing genocide," just raped an innocent teen girl in England.
His defense?
“According to Sharia law, raping a non-Muslim girl is legal. I only follow Allah and Sharia law.”
👉 Would YOU tolerate this around YOUR daughter? ⁉️
