  1. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "Much has been made of Burnham’s #progressive #politics, but in the short space of this #campaign, he has already #backtracked on several points. According to #allies, he has already backed the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood’s, controversial & hardline #immigration #policies, has stated that he’ll retain Rachel Reeves’s #fiscal #rules that have so hampered ambition & investment, & changed his views on #transgender #rights." Progressive? Hah! Vote #Green in #Makerfield!

  2. “Zöe Bread shows us that ‘Manchesterism’ is neoliberalism”

    “Zoë Bread’s investigation into property development company Renaker and its boss’ links with Burnham is a stellar case in point. Bread picks apart the housing reality beneath Burnham’s mayoral tenure.

    Those investigations repeatedly surfaced the façade of ‘Burnhamism’, ‘Manchesterism’ or whatever you call ‘it’. This is familiar territory for Zöe Bread, and important now — for us all”

  7. 'Lowe has used offensive language about immigrants, recently saying at the campaign launch in Makerfield: “They should be deported to a midge-infested island offshore either England or Scotland and let the midges do the rest.”'

    The dreaded highland midge is not found in England, although its range extends to the north of #cymru

    it's funny how people who criticise Burnham, including those in ukpol fediverse, call him out for either some strawman arguments, or just make up some bullshit

    meanwhile one of my favourite media published an actual critical analysis on Burnhamism, with its strengths & flaws. I may not agree with it in some details, especially its conclusion, yet it's more coherent & intellectual than random mumblings of GPEW/Reform fans manchestermill.co.uk/stop-look
