Burnham's betrayal on the EU could well see him lose his seat in Makerfield.🙏🙏🙏
Andy Burnham’s Makerfield voters are firmly opposed to handing new powers to the EU, new polling shows.
With less than two weeks before the Prime Minister attends a major Brussels summit, his plans to bring the UK back under EU rule have been roundly rejected by his own constituents.
Eight in ten say the UK should make its own decisions on state aid to grow regional economies, and 78% say the UK government alone should make its own decisions about VAT rates.

All the time we were in the EU we ran a big deficit on goods trade with them. Our trade with non EU was better balanced and growing faster. EU rules damaged our trade and protected continental companies with tariffs on non EU.

The incredibly low intellectual standard of this government is repeatedly exhibited by the crass, insensitive and frequently historically inaccurate utterances of its denizens.
Labour is betraying Brexit, the UK and democracy, in pursuit of Fabian goals.

The greatest trick the EU ever pulled, was convincing a good chunk of the European continent that they were only European if their country was in the EU. That somehow geography no longer applied if you didn't pay Brussels.
Many Brits are similarly afflicted. They need help.

Even left wing journalists are calling Lisa Nandy out for using Remembrance Sunday to push Labour's EU agenda.
Today was absolutely not the day to be promoting an exchange scheme with the EU.
A day when the nation comes together to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Lisa Nandy will inevitably come out and apologise, and rightly so.
An utterly shameless display of political opportunism. x.com/LBC/status/211…

On Remembrance Sunday Lisa Nandy has claimed that no one in Britain has had to fight a war since WW2.
What about the 7,193 British soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in conflicts ranging from the Korean War to Afghanistan?
While she erases their service, the country will never forget their bravery.
Remembrance Sunday is a sacred day, not to be cynically used by Labour to justify closer ties to the EU. Whatever the merits of their argument - and I believe reopening the Brexit wars is both a colossal waste of energy and a strategic disaster when national sovereignty is more important than ever - this is not the day for it.
It’s disappointing that Nandy and Andy Burnham, who presumably agreed to this, have failed so badly to meet the moment.

Even Lefties are dumping on Lisa Nandy.
Remarkable she cannot see what’s she done wrong.
Totally tone deaf — trying to politicise Remembrance Day with pro-EU dogma.

A great article.
Yet again Labour simply lies to dress up surrender as negotiation. It agrees things that are the EU's interests, not ours.
We are being sold out by our leaders.

Hundreds march against Labour's plans to house over 1,250 male asylum seekers near historic market town. Good for them.
'I'm not afraid of anyone coming here, but it's the young girls. It's the young mums. My daughters,' one marcher said.
It's undemocratic to force migrants on the British people against their will. What is the use of our democracy if those in power go completely against the will of the people time and time again?

Labour Lisa Nandy used Remembrance Day to claim we should reopen European Union membership for the sake of war veterans. What an awful spitting the face of the fallen. It was Britain’s very independence that saved the world from Nazism

We fought two World Wars with incredible bravery and sacrifice in order to maintain our national independence against European hegemony #LestWeForget
Nandy accused of insulting veterans with Remembrance Sunday ‘EU pitch’
Minister says ‘we owe it’ to those who served to ‘repair’ relationship with bloc! Thoughtless & Thick!

During the Brexit referendum, you knew remainers had lost the argument as soon as they invoked the World Wars.
Nandy is like a stuck record.
And on Remembrance Sunday, of all days, it’s not a good look
