A heartbreaking result but a huge swing towards the Greens we can be proud of. Well done to everyone who worked so hard and huge thank you to Zack. We took a huge chunk out of Labour's vote, in their heartland, during the "Burnham bounce". This is just the beginning.

In a deeply personal address, Burnham spoke through tears as he reflected on the death of his father just weeks ago, and used the experiences of his grandparents buying their own home, the cruelty of the care system and the pride of his family to set out how he wanted to take political risks to make fundamental change.
