Andy Burnham wins Makerfield with a 20% lead over Reform UK. But this result wasn't just about Burnham. It was shored up by thousands of Green and Lib Dem voters who crossed party lines to keep the far-right out, delivering the Labour candidate an outright majority.🧵

Our poll shows 73% of Makerfield voters have heard about Kenyon's vile comments on women and @carolvorders.bsky.social, thanks in part to the efforts of our activists supporting @hopenothate.org.uk's ground campaign. The verdict? 45% less likely to vote for him. Net effect on his campaign: -8% 📉

🚨 It’s too close to call in Makerfield! Help us to mobilise the progressive vote in these final few days. Result from @opiniumresearch.bsky.social's survey of local voters: 🌹 Burnham (Labour): 46% ➡️ Kenyon (Reform UK): 41% The rest: trailing well behind. 5pt gap. Margin of error: ~5pts. It's tight.

Two weeks till the Makerfield by-election! Like Gorton & Denton, this is a key opportunity for tactical voting. It worked to stop Reform before, and it can again. The evidence shows Andy Burnham is best placed to beat them, so we’re urging voters to back Labour on 18 June. Let's stop Reform.

We were given 19 days (when candidates are confirmed) to provide advice on over 5000 seats. A lot of our advice wasn't there in time for postal voters, no. But really? We're incredibly proud of, and incredibly grateful to our small team of volunteers who paused their lives to do what they could.

If necessary, take a guess at who is most likely to be the tactical choice in your area — you have a good chance of being right. And even if it is not the “correct” tactical vote, every vote will still help to outnumber Reform.

The candidates are only confirmed 19 working days before an election, and there are over 5000 seats up for grabs tomorrow. This is a huge task; our team are going as quickly as they can. You made the best choice you could to beat Reform with the info you had and that's all anyone can do. Good luck!

Or maybe, they have made up their own mind what is important to them, and that is stopping Reform. Coming together as citizens and uniting around a shared goal is anything but embarrassing.

Yes of course. This is why we recommended Greens in Hareholme & Waterfoot just last week. It used to be a Labour seat. But we understood the local situation, took this into account, and helped the Greens beat Reform there (by 54 votes!) with Labour fairly behind in third place.

We don't have a crystal ball so we aren't going to be 100% accurate. This is logical. If Southampton beat Arsenal in the FA Cup does that mean the bookies are frauds? Of course not. The vast majority of our advice is correct. There is no better, more trustworthy source of advice for May. (2/3)

Some people are quoting this and calling us "frauds" or insinuating that one incorrect recommendation means none of our recommendations can be trusted - or even that tactical voting does not work. We are legitimate. We are accurate. Tactical voting works. All 3 of these statements are proven (1/3)

We're disappointed to have made an incorrect call here, but very pleased Reform didn't win. It's an opportunity to improve and adjust how we make decisions in similar elections in future. We do get the majority of these right, but that doesn't mean there's no room to get even better - and we will!

You can see our reasoning here: stopreformuk.vote/local/kent/c... Labour were 2nd a year ago with almost twice as many votes as the Greens who were 4th. We identified that both Labour and Greens were targeting this ward heavily, but their past performance here (and nearby) gave Labour the edge.
