It's been a fantastic start to the campaign in Holborn & St Pancras. It's clear that voters here want a voice to hold Burnham accountable, not another unquestioning backbencher.

Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million.
So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.
