🚨 It’s too close to call in Makerfield! Help us to mobilise the progressive vote in these final few days. Result from @opiniumresearch.bsky.social's survey of local voters: 🌹 Burnham (Labour): 46% ➡️ Kenyon (Reform UK): 41% The rest: trailing well behind. 5pt gap. Margin of error: ~5pts. It's tight.

Reform are vile and should never be near power, but, Burnham is not progressive in any way as his policy promises prove. I hope he loses, he is a chancer that has been rejected before. Vote anyone but reform and Labour.

Being pragmatic means sometimes choosing the best of a bad lot. Splitting the vote will only let Reform gain even more traction. We need media reform. We need to stop foreign money in politics. Boats only became a problem when traitors like Farage started talking about them using foreign money!

With the polling figures so close, we’re working to mobilise every progressive vote possible to beat the far-right. 🗳️ If you want to prevent a Reform UK victory in Makerfield, please chip in to our campaign fundraiser. 👇 actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

actionnetwork.orgMakerfield votes on 18 June – help stop ReformI've just donated to Forward Democracy's Makerfield campaign. It's the biggest by-election yet. Only Andy Burnham can stop Reform there, and there's a real chance he could help us win a fairer voting ...

If the media had been working in the interests of the people that really pay their wages, rather than their billionaire employers, we wouldn’t be languishing outside of the EU. Likewise if Burnham is the best person to stop ReformUK it’s everyone’s responsibility to help him because the media won’t!

Reform are truly vile but I don't think progressives should allow themselves to get drawn into Labour's internal power games. If Labour lose this seat to Reform it's on them.
