Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EME6K6 - Taken in June 2026, this editorial photograph shows a large Restore Britain election placard displayed outside a brick-built home on a council estate in Hindley during the Makerfield by-election in Greater Manchester. The purple and blue sign reads We're Voting Restore Britain , with a smaller matching poster visible on the front door behind it. The image documents the visible street-level campaigning of Restore Britain, the far right-wing anti-immigration party associated with Rupert Lowe, during a by-election that attracted national political attention because Labour selected Andy Burnham as its candidate and Reform UK also contested the seat strongly. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of British electoral politics, populist campaigning, right-wing and hard-right political messaging, voter disillusionment, working-class communities, housing estates, post-industrial towns and the contest for support in former Labour heartland areas. The setting gives the image added documentary value: instead of a staged press conference or party rally, the scene shows political branding embedded in an everyday residential environment, with the campaign message positioned directly against a home frontage. It can illustrate stories about local political identity, doorstep campaigning, class politics, protest voting, social housing communities, estate-level canvassing, culture-war messaging and the fragmentation of the right in UK politics. The combination of readable campaign text, residential setting, by-election context and named constituency makes it relevant for news, politics, sociology, local democracy, election analysis and features on how national political movements try to present themselves as rooted in ordinary neighbourhoods. The image should be used with clear editorial context, as Restore Britain and similar movements are controversial and have been widely discussed in relation to anti-immigration and hard-right politics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EMY4D5 - Campaign placard We're voting Restore Britain , mounted on a wooden stake outside a brick-built home in the Makerfield constituency, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the June 2026 by-election campaign. The sign's original patriotic red, white and blue design is reduced to stark monochrome, making the large capital lettering, party logo and domestic brick-wall background feel more severe and confrontational. The image is useful for editorial coverage of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe, hard-right politics, far-right campaigning, nationalist political branding, anti-establishment messaging, protest voting, working-class estates, and the fragmentation of the British right during a high-profile parliamentary contest. Restore Britain is listed by the Electoral Commission as an authorised party registered in Great Britain, while its own material frames the party around themes such as low tax, small government, secure borders, national pride, traditional Christian principles, free speech and direct democracy. Political reporting has described Restore Britain as right-wing to far-right and as a rival force competing with Reform UK for voters on the nationalist and populist right. In the context of Makerfield, the placard has wider editorial value because the contest attracted national attention around Labour's Andy Burnham, Reform UK's Robert Kenyon, and the possibility that Restore Britain could split or reshape the right-wing vote. The close crop, visible screw, wooden post, house doorway edge and brickwork give the picture a local, doorstep-democracy quality, showing how national political movements appear in ordinary residential streets. It could illustrate articles on election messaging, public displays of party support, culture-war politics, voter disillusionment, political identity, devolution, former Labour heartlands, and the visual language of UK by-elections in 2026.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EMY4DB - Large Reform UK campaign placard for Rob Kenyon displayed above a residential garden in Hindley, an area within the Makerfield parliamentary constituency in Greater Manchester, England. The bright blue sign carries the wording I'm voting Rob Kenyon and 18th June , alongside a candidate photograph and Reform UK branding, partly framed by garden trees and the roofline of a nearby house. The image records the street-level visibility of Reform UK during a closely watched by-election in a former Labour stronghold, where the party promoted Kenyon as a local candidate and tradesman rather than a career politician. Reform UK and several media reports described Kenyon as a plumber, and that framing was central to the party's attempt to present him as a simpleton local working-class challenger to Andy Burnham. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of by-election campaigning, voter allegiance, right-wing populism, northern English politics, constituency-level political identity and the contest for support in post-industrial towns around Wigan. Its value is in the domestic setting: the placard is not shown at a rally, but in a garden above ordinary housing, making the campaign message part of the visual language of a neighbourhood. The scene can illustrate stories about Reform UK's appeal on housing estates, political branding in local streets, anti-establishment messaging, voter disillusionment, party competition on the right and the challenge to Labour in areas that historically returned Labour MPs. It also works as a broader image of contemporary British politics, where candidate posters, simple slogans and claims of local authenticity are used to build trust with residents. The picture should be used with clear editorial context, as Reform UK's campaign, like much hard-right and populist politics in Britain, has generated controversy over immigration rhetoric, online comments and culture-war positioning

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P03X - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P53BW0 - Govan Scottish Gaelic: Baile a' Ghobhainn) is a district, parish, and former burgh now part of south-west City of Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Glasgow city centre, on the south bank of the River Clyde, opposite the mouth of the River Kelvin and the district of Partick. Historically it was part of the County of Lanark.
According to medieval legend, Constantine, a seventh-century King of Strathclyde, founded a monastery under the rule of Columbanus in Govan. During the Middle Ages, Govan was the site of a ferry which linked the area with Partick for seasonal cattle drovers. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, textile mills and coal mining were important
in the early-nineteenth century, shipbuilding emerged as Govan's principal industry. In 1864, Govan gained burgh status, and was the fifth-largest burgh in Scotland. It was incorporated into the City of Glasgow in 1912

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A3N1 - Branded London Borough of Islington Repairs Team van is parked beside a residential street in London. The white Volkswagen Transporter carries the council crest, green graphics and details for reporting council housing repairs online. A roof-mounted ladder indicates its maintenance role, supporting responsive repairs, inspections and minor works.
The image illustrates a council direct labour organisation, shortened to DLO, where an authority retains its own workforce and fleet to deliver repair and maintenance activity. This can provide direct control, local knowledge, visible accountability and faster prioritisation of urgent work.
Council housing repairs performance is frequently scrutinised by tenants, councillors, regulators and the media. Common measures include emergency and routine response times, first-visit completion, missed appointments, repeat repairs, tenant satisfaction, complaint volumes, outstanding work and cost per repair. A branded van therefore represents frontline delivery and the reputation of the landlord.
Repairs services are often criticised when residents face long waits, failed appointments, poor communication, repeat visits or work that treats a symptom without resolving the underlying defect. Damp, mould, leaks, heating failures and unresolved disrepair can become especially serious where vulnerable residents are affected. Criticism may also focus on weak records, fragmented contractor oversight, labour shortages or the absence of a clear audit trail from report through diagnosis, completion and tenant confirmation.
The photograph can support editorial coverage of social housing standards, council accountability, maintenance backlogs, tenant complaints, housing disrepair, value for money and the challenge of delivering a reliable day-to-day repairs service in a densely populated London borough. No operative or resident is visible, keeping attention on the municipal vehicle and the public service it represents
