Philip Proudfoot: The right don't know how to react to Burnham...
The right don't know how to react to Burnham. He's not prime ministerial enough! He's buying expensive clothes! He's like David Brent. Much easier being on the left: if you promise to end neoliberalism, do it.
Liz Webster: Labour is not going to win again...
🔴 ✅ “Labour is not going to win again by out-Reforming Reform or out-Greening the Greens. Labour has to have its own agenda.” @campbellclaret is right. Chasing Nigel Farage only keeps the debate on his territory. Labour has to define its own vision for Britain’s future. That means restoring economic growth, rebuilding Britain’s confidence and strengthening our security. 🔥 Brexit has weakened all three. The answer isn’t to refight 2016, wr must build a new relationship with Europe based on security, resilience and shared prosperity. Defence. Energy. Food. Supply chains. AI. Trade. Food security is national security. Britain needs a government prepared to say that cooperation with our European neighbours is common sense/survival strategy in a far more dangerous world. The UK needs a credible plan to make Britain stronger again.
Adam Brooks: I don’t t want people arrested...
I don’t t want people arrested for threatening social media posts, but if this was me or someone on the right… we WOULD be arrested. So we either have two tier policing or we have consistent policing… what will it be ? This is two weeks after Ann Widdecombe’s murder. The left get away with everything.
Timothy Ash: U.K. MOD simply not fit for purpose...
U.K. MOD simply not fit for purpose - disastrous track record in defence procurement. 101 errors like this one on drones. What’s the point increasing defence spending when basic defence procurement is so screwed up. https://timothyash.substack.com/p/britain-rues-the-wavesAdam Brooks: On the left, there are some seriously...
On the left, there are some seriously deranged people. People that are obsessed with right wing politicians dying. It’s not healthy, it’s not normal and it’s time the far left were shamed like the far right are. They are a much bigger threat.
Chris Williamson: WW3 moves another step closer...
WW3 moves another step closer, and our new Prime minister is fanning the flames. The irresponsibility of the Starmer and now the Burnham regime is off the scale.
Alex Wickham: Andy Burnham says he’ll make it harder...
NEW: Andy Burnham says he’ll make it harder to claim benefits, vowing to “get really serious” about cutting the welfare bill and setting up a clash with Labour MPs “It's about changing the nature of the support and making some of the support conditional upon people taking opportunities that are presented in front of them,” he tells @BBCLauraK “Let me just say something more though about what you're driving at, which is the welfare bill. I think we've got to get really serious as a country at getting the welfare bill down” There are no details yet on how he intends to do it but it will be a major challenge Keir Starmer’s efforts to reduce the welfare bill by just £5 billion sparked a huge rebellion from Labour MPs - organised by Burnham supporters including Louise Haigh - from which he never recoveredAdam Brooks: Green party leader Zack Polanski...
🚨 Green party leader Zack Polanski posted a photo of a man in a t-shirt which alludes to using the guillotine on Nigel Farage. THESE HATEFUL AND DERANGED LEFTIES ARE A DISGRACE.
Carl Benjamin: Do it, Andy Burnham...
Do it, Andy Burnham. Not only do you have literally no mandate for anything, but making politics intrude on peoples' lives is surely something that won't backfire.
David Kurten: I wouldn't trust anything from a bloke...
I wouldn't trust anything from a bloke who did a policy U-turn in his first day as Prime Minister. (We're going to unfreeze the income tax threshold. Oh no, we're not.)Adam Brooks: It’s politics of envy that Labour...
It’s politics of envy that Labour are pushing on Brits. Anyone that dared take risks, dared to buy assets, dared to better themselves… are being demonised and targeted in a tax grab. The country only goes one way with a Government like this, and that’s no growth, no ambition & a spiralling benefit bill.Alex Wickham: Andy Burnham declines twice...
NEW: Andy Burnham declines twice to say he can trust Donald Trump Asked by @BBCLauraK he says only that he’s had one “warm” phone call with him. Asked a second time he says “it’s a changing world” It’s the first evidence of how Burnham will handle the US relationship. The diplomatic answer Keir Starmer used to give was that he did trust Trump Burnham also declines to commit to spending 3% of GDP on defence despite John Healey saying failing to do so leaves the country unsafe. That position surely cannot hold if Healey is to remain in post He says there won’t be an “early” election but doesn’t rule out calling one before 2029Alex Wickham: Andy Burnham’s cabinet is more vulnerable...
Andy Burnham’s cabinet is more vulnerable to Reform than Keir Starmer’s. Only six cab mins would keep their seats if election was tomorrow, compared to 10 of Starmer’s. Could imply policies will focus primarily on Reform. By @SelinaYuerChen @JacobReid02 https://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-26/burnham-s-cabinet-is-more-vulnerable-to-reform-than-starmer-sDavid Icke: The ludicrous extremism of the 'Left'...
The ludicrous extremism of the 'Left' does not absolve the ludicrous extremism of the 'Right'. Communism and fascism are different forms of the same tyranny in their impact on the freedom of the population. Which tyranny do you prefer in the knowledge that the Global Cult controls both of them?
Lee Hurst: Everything Labour is promising right now...
Everything Labour is promising right now is just that, a promise. It isn’t being enacted yet. This means if they get higher polling scores they can call a GE. If they secure a majority, they then start from scratch and all the promises mean nothing. They are trying to buy your votes without paying you.
James Foster: The only competition he faces...
The only competition he faces, really, is a man who wears a bin over his head. Extraordinary that a man who believes he’s so popular has to be campaigning this hard to keep a seat he didn’t have to resign from and trigger a by-election. 🤣 🤡
Kathy Gyngell: So @andyburnham won’t call...
So @andyburnham won’t call an early General Election No surprise there. He is an unprincipled coward But a quick check on Google AI would have told him that : Historically, UK PMs who resisted the pressure to call an early general election and instead chose to run their parliament to its maximum legal limit have overwhelmingly faced defeat or political ruin.Lee Hurst: Remember if you work hard...
Remember if you work hard and save your money, Labour will take it from you. So either emigrate, stop working, spend all your money and become a perma sponger or Vote Reform.
June Slater: The open neck shirt politics...
The open neck shirt politics and Andy Burnham is wearing a bit thin with me already . He's overplaying the northern- ness. Let's face no fecker else from lands end to the Scottish Highlands gives stuff over northern-ness. Just because he's using words like barm cake and eating pork scratchings in a pub, knows which end of a ferret can do you a nasty turn and waves at homing pigeons up in the sky like constituents doesn't mean he's going to be any different to the champagne socialist that have occupied number 10 for the last two years. The Blairite civil service has hit the ground running for good old Andy, who looks more like a cover girl than the real hand of power, that seems to be safely lodged with the snivel service. We seldom see who really runs Britain and Tony Blair played a blinder saturating the civil service with his disciples, who are still in play today .. This has been preplanned by the Fabian blob and executed like Oh wow looks what just happened 🙄😆Lee Hurst: I said this the other day...
I said this the other day. Burnham’s Labour will ease pressure on prison spaces by just not putting people in prison. We see it every day with more and more suspended sentences.Lee Hurst: I suspect Burham will eventually realise this...
I suspect Burham will eventually realise this, leave the wealthy alone and instead hammer the middle ground where people don’t have enough money to flee the country.
Aaron Bastani: The crazy thing is that Starmer...
The crazy thing is that Starmer and Reeves committed £6 billion to pride in place - a policy nobody has heard of, and nobody will own (because it has infinity stakeholders). These three popular, eye catching effective policies? 1.45B a year.
Adam Brooks: Some on the left are so warped...
Some on the left are so warped, that they are arguing with those on the right about Axel Rudakubana being moved to Broadmoor. Will these people excuse anything just to make a point. - Mark Fairhurst, the national chair of the POA union, which represents prison, correctional, and secure psychiatric workers…Liz Webster: Starmer’s Brexit reset was domestic...
Starmer’s Brexit reset was domestic mood music only. Warmer words, but little movement on the UK’s fundamental economic relationship with Europe. As @ScottLucas_EA points out, you can’t keep cherry-picking forever. At some point, Britain has to decide what relationship it really wants with its biggest market.Adam Brooks: This is Labour...
This is Labour 🥀 🤬 Prisoners due for early releaseby Labour. 85 were jailed for manslaughter 220 for the rape of a child 344 for the rape of an adult 982 for sexual assaults on children Via @DannyShawNews @telegraphLiz Webster: Brexit didn’t just make trade harder...
Brexit didn’t just make trade harder. It also made Britain more vulnerable to overseas takeovers. A weaker pound, slower growth and reduced investment have left many British companies looking relatively cheap to foreign buyers. As more iconic British firms are acquired by overseas investors, is the economic model Brexit cheerleaders promised?Lee Hurst: The number of Burnham FanBoys...
The number of Burnham FanBoys getting upset at this it’s like the £30 grand flights to get there, the unnecessary new building and duplicated jobs are all taxes they are happy to pay. If Farage was taking unnecessary plane flights at taxpayers’ expense, I’d be calling him out too. That’s the difference between me and these Lefturd cultists, I’m not a hypocrite.Adam Brooks: Prime Minister @andyburnham...
Prime Minister @andyburnham We have a national security risk from those arriving illegally via the channel. We have had so many instances of attacks on women & girls. Why aren’t you speaking about this ? We are more interested & worried for this than videos on scampi fries.
Fraud Rewarded with Promotion
The new Prime Minister has unveiled a raft of measures which, he says, are intended to improve the country's fortunes. However, social media users are already questioning how they will be paid for, whilst also reviving allegations about the financial controversies surrounding the former Mayor of Greater Manchester.Read more
