The winning candidate here secured just over a quarter of the vote on a turn out of 17%. That means they received the votes of fewer than 5% of the eligible electorate! Please @andyburnham.bsky.social can you tackle electoral reform now to prevent this kind of result happening at the next election!

Great to see this memorial unveiled at @manchester.ac.uk just across the road from my office. Addressing this scandal remains painfully slow with the families of the people who died waiting decades for compensation. But public recognition is vital in the fight. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/m...

Interesting council by elections last night. 3 Labour defences, 3 Lab defeats. But…1 Lib Dem win, 1 Plaid win + 1 Green win. Reform 2nd, 3rd and 6th. Cons 2 5th places and a no show. looks like voters beginning to vote tactically for party most likely to beat Reform in their ward. @electionmaps.uk
