Reform's campaign in Makerfield has been dismal. It was the easiest thing in the world to produce a thumping good newspaper hammering Labour and Burnham on MULTIPLE subjects so they were the biggest laugh/scandal in the area and wiped out. Instead we got silly little leaflets.

It is so frustrating that they do not listen to you, with your years of experience in this area.

I have seen that you have been trying, which prompted my earlier article:

It reminds me of the Stoke by election some years ago. That was eminently winnable for UKIP, as it was a strong Brexit area. Their first mistake was putting up a Liverpudlian candidate. There is considerable local rivalry / distrust of Liverpudlians. And the candidate had a fantasist connection to reality, making various claims about his own career which turned out to be outright lies.

I remember it well and now that same goon is in a senior position in Reform.

I'm praying that Labour does not win.....people have to get out and vote for either Restore or Reform otherwise NOTHING WILL CHANGE 🙏 excellent work as always 👍

Thank you Cath.

Labour tends to win on the postal votes. This has been a Labour area for many years, and so they will know very well how to do that.

And Reform have completely missed warnings about the postal vote date and how their campaign MUST peak well before.

They have to go all out now, but it CAN be done 🙏
