LOL - could you live on £115,000?
Given about 97% of the UK population do live on less than that, the answer is yes, very comfortably
Huddled masses outside the Telegraph offices, "please 'curse' me!"
Takeaways from Makerfield by-election:
1. Burnham landslide, more votes than all the rest combined
2. Reform utterly crushed. No wonder Farage ran away
3. Thousands of Tories, Libdems and Greens all voted tactically to beat the hard right psychos
4. Restore are a laughing stock
Brilliant night!
The absolute resolve it took for Obamas to turn over the government to the Trumps.
Because you know they knew what was coming-they’re intelligent and perceptive.
Gnashing of teeth, biting their tongues, wringing hands, smiling through disgust.
Gracious through it all.
Mad respect for both of them.

@mothinali.bsky.social : "In Makerfield Labour got their messaging right, it was Andy Burnham versus Reform, not Labour versus Reform. Andy Burnham ditched the Labour brand and he made it all about his own popularity.."
@mothinali.bsky.social is asked if an Andy Burnham premiership is a catastrophe for the Green party.
Mothin: "It depends which version of Andy Burnham turns up"
Mothin points out Burnhams rhetoric around immigration & welfare & his failure to call out Israels genocide.
@mothinali.bsky.social : The Greater Manchester mayoral election is a clear fight between the Greens and Reform.
