Liz Webster: And there it is...

‼️ And there it is. Grifting the night away begins. Tommy Robinson acknowledges just how serious Danny Tommo’s legal position could be: one of the offences being investigated carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. But notice the immediate reframing. 👉Damaging a vessel with an emergency responder aboard becomes “activism”. 👉A police investigation becomes an attempt to “stop Danny”. 👉And before he’s even been charged, the institutions enforcing the law become “parasites”. This is precisely why private political groups cannot appoint themselves to enforce immigration law in the English Channel. 👏 Activism doesn’t put you above the law.

Liz Webster: Burnham tried to appease Brexit...

🚨 Burnham tried to appease Brexit and Brexit punished him for it. The Times reveals an extraordinary sequence of events. The EU had reportedly been prepared to exempt Britain from its “Made in Europe” rules, protecting our deeply integrated car industry and supply chains. But @andyburnham worried that Starmer’s reciprocal youth-mobility agreement would not pass the “Makerfield test” in his Leave voting constituency and sought to reopen it. Brussels responded by withdrawing the British exemption. So an attempt to appease Red Wall Brexit sentiment made the reset deteriorate, delayed the UK–EU summit and left British manufacturing facing an even greater threat. Now Burnham is refusing to rule out putting EU membership in Labour’s next manifesto. By trying to move one step away from Europe, he may have forced himself to move two steps closer. There is a powerful political journey here, if Burnham tells it honestly: Britain cannot demand European privileges while refusing reciprocity. We cannot protect British jobs through permanent Brexit red lines. And governing by the fears of one Leave-voting constituency cannot take precedence over the national interest. The “Makerfield test” has collided with economic reality. Reality won 🏆
