Andrew Burnham PM is just another Fabian at the helm. Do not believe a word they say as they are all wolves in sheep’s clothing. The programme will continue with a different human shield.
Aaron Bastani: It’s extraordinary...
It’s extraordinary if this many senior Labour figures still don’t get this. You will all lose your seats!
Craig Murray: This is the Labour Party...
This is the Labour Party. Boasting of cutting overseas aid to 50% of Tory levels. Sickening.
Alex Wickham: Bloomberg Saturday read with the great...
NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read with the great @ChaplainChloe — Andy Burnham wanted to take over on a wave of hope, good vibes and a promise to end the culture of infighting that sank Keir Starmer. Extraordinarily, that optimism is fading before he’s even taken office. — Even some Burnham supporters are already concerned his transition into No10 has been dominated by indecision, a policy vacuum and a power grab by his inner circle. At the centre of it is the remarkable falling out with Ed Miliband and a growing rebellion on the Labour soft-left, the faction that fought to get him the job in the first place. — Labour MPs and aides have a sense of foreboding that, far from representing a break from Starmer, Burnham is already succumbing to the same problems. Labour is united on the need for him to succeed but there’s mounting anxiety, one says. Another warns some of his earliest supporters are already starting to lose faith in the project. — Burnham tried to get ahead of the doubts yesterday, vowing to end the “insidious” culture of briefings, disunity and “point-scoring.” He insisted he had a plan. That followed his email to the PLP where he promised to be an inclusive team player. — But even people who support Burnham say it rings hollow and raises red flags. Several protest how his inner circle are conducting themselves. They say his close advisers have cut broader allies out of conversations about his plans. There are complaints about a top-down, ultra-centralised and opaque operation with an iron grip on power, blocking perceived rivals from jobs, the opposite of the inclusive approach he publicly espouses. — Labour officials say Burnham has already amassed a dangerously long list of internal enemies. The roll call of people with axes to grind may soon include Keir Starmer and his loyalists, Miliband, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, who is outside of Burnham’s circle, as well as Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper if they aren’t given top jobs. That is big and broad range of powerful opponents to have before you’ve even entered No10. — One aide says it was unnecessary to have put so many noses out of joint and that the disquiet is becoming unsustainable. Several warn Burnham risks losing the support of key figures in the party and inviting a leadership challenge before the next election, an extraordinary prospect given Labour was elected on a promise to end the Tory chaos. — The indecision and lack of transparency on appointments has caused nothing short of a meltdown among his allies who expect to get jobs. The fallout with Miliband is infuriating the Labour left who already feel badly let down. Another warns if this is how he treats the person who helped him become PM, it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the party. — Others say Burnham has made a bad error in appointing men to most of the senior roles in his No10 operation. There is disbelief he has reappointed nearly all of Starmer’s senior male aides and none of the senior women, despite his campaign pledging to end what they called a “boys’ club” in No10. — Shabana Mahmood as chancellor risks upsetting all sides, one source says. Many on the left consider her a right-winger due to her immigration stance, but moderates say in fact she holds left-wing economic views that will take the country in the wrong direction. — A Labour source says that when the history of Burnham’s transition into power is written, the question will be: “Were they left with too little time to think about all of this, or too much?"Lee Hurst: My greatest fear is not the next 3 years...
My greatest fear is not the next 3 years under Andy Burnham, but the next 5 years should the public be conned into voting for him in a snap General Election. Even 3 years will see a massive, gerrymandering demographic change in the UK. 5 years would end us permanently. This is also why I loathe Lowe supporters so much. They know this and choose to ignore it for their Big Fish/Small Pond fantasy.
Adam Brooks: People will mock...
People will mock, and people like me will cringe. But let me tell you…this sort of behaviour will appeal to so many after the robotic and soulless nature of Starmer. This is a straight fight of Labour vs Reform now. We are at a crossroads.Go left again and country is finished.
Philip Proudfoot: Burnham should've ignored...
Burnham should've ignored the noise and appointed Miliband. Instead, by surrendering the treasury, his entire agenda is destined to fail before he's even in No. 10. It's all just staggeringly stupid, no lessons learned, and a bad sign of what's to come.Adam Brooks: One of the biggest lies...
One of the biggest lies that the left purport, is that the small boat migrant crisis is because of Brexit. It’s actually an outrageous lie. It is simply a crossover of timelines. Brexit happened and was implemented at the same time as a global migration exodus to Europe. If it was Brexit, why did Germany & Italy end up with so many illegals ? The Dublin agreement was also hardly used, because France would simply refuse to take them back, threaten court action and even tried to use it to send us MORE. Lefty MPs, commentators and social media users still push this utter lie.
Liz Webster: One of the saddest things after Brexit...
One of the saddest things after Brexit was seeing people who rightly opposed it cheering the decline of British farming because they believed farmers deserved it. Food security isn’t about rewarding farmers. It’s about feeding a nation. You don’t weaken domestic food production and expect only farmers to suffer. Eventually, empty shelves, higher prices and food insecurity reach every household. In the end, food doesn’t ask how you voted. Hunger doesn’t either.Alex Wickham: Still think it’s pretty wild that Wes Streeting...
Still think it’s pretty wild that Wes Streeting vowed on the record multiple times that he would force a contest then immediately tweeted that he was backing Burnham within minutes of Starmer quitting
David Frost: If (like Burnham) your diagnosis...
If (like Burnham) your diagnosis is that it all went wrong under Thatcher, and your solution is to go back to the 1970s, then you will inevitably fail, because your whole analysis is based on a fallacy. The only question is how long it will take before it happens. Ends
Edwin Hayward: There are suggestions that Burnham...
There are suggestions that Burnham may be planning to blame Thatcher for Britain's problems. Given that she was last in power 36 years ago and that you'd have to be in your mid-50s to have ever voted for her, this feels like a stretch and a half.

Pat Condell: If the British police were doing their job...
If the British police were doing their job they would search every mosque for stockpiles of weapons, but they’re too gutless to do it because they know what they’d find, and somebody might call them racist. It’s safer to harass people for expressing opinions online.
Alex Wickham: Burnham says...
Burnham says “I have supported all the Labour leaders in my lifetime.” Pretty demonstrably untrue given events of the last yearAdam Brooks: The Labour Government are hiding the sex crime...
The Labour Government are hiding the sex crime data of many migrants, because it shows you what we’ve been saying for YEARS. That we are importing sex criminals en masse.Andrew Bridgen: James Naish MP (whoever he is)...
James Naish MP (whoever he is) should get a political antennae , it’s his PM and leader Keir Starmer who has been forced out of office after less than two years as PM. Naish is clearly clueless - a useful idiot in the whole plan. Most of the public support the farmers - actually no one should be paying inheritance tax. Especially as our monarch doesn’t pay it .Lee Hurst: If England had won the World Cup...
If England had won the World Cup, Burnham would have called a GE and idiots would voted for him and he would have won. Fortunately we are still on course for 3 years of him and Labour left rather than 5.Adam Brooks: There is a reported rape every 54 mins...
There is a reported rape every 54 mins in London. We are the phone snatch capital of Europe. Shoplifting is at record highs. And Keir Starmer rewards the man that oversees it all with a place in the House of Lords… Sadiq Khan is a celebrated failure. UK POLITICS IS A SEWERAndrew Bridgen: Keir Starmer honours...
Keir Starmer honours: Sadiq Khan to be made a Lord by outgoing prime minister. Our honours system is now a dishonours system , in fact it has been for a very long time.
More Than Just Football
England’s victory over Mexico in the World Cup round of 16 has sparked heated debate both in the media and across social media, though the discussion has had very little to do with football itself.Andrew Bridgen: The fact that Andy Burnham is to be appointed PM...
The fact that Andy Burnham is to be appointed PM without even a vote if the Labour members is a sign of his weakness not his strength. Labour MP’s will have been ‘advised’ who they ‘had to back’. Do you support Andy Burnham as PM ? Do you have confidence in his leadership ?
Aaron Bastani: If they are briefing like this...
If they are briefing like this, this early, it won’t last a year. This stuff is compulsive for Labour MPs, it’s like some sort of collective mental illness - and completely at odds with socialist, collective politics.Alex Wickham: EXCLUSIVE with @ChaplainChloe...
EXCLUSIVE with @ChaplainChloe Andy Burnham’s team has descended into infighting over whether he should appoint Ed Miliband as chancellor, just days before he takes office. The row poses a major early challenge for his premiership before it’s even begun. Many Burnham supporters wanted and expected Miliband to get the job but others in his team have been strongly arguing against it. As @Steven_Swinford reports that second faction believes it’s won. The conversations were still taking place as late as yesterday, sources say, suggesting Burnham has been unable to make this fundamental decision about the direction of his government. He becomes PM in five days and no one knows who his chancellor will be including apparently him. It will fuel criticisms he has no plan. Burnham’s approach of holding off from making appointments until this late stage has stoked uncertainty and infighting among his allies already, several of them told Bloomberg. Many long-standing allies who helped his rise to power have yet to be told whether they’ll be given jobs in the cabinet or No10, they said. A Miliband supporter warns Burnham will face outcry from the Labour left and soft-left if he bottles the appointment, expressing disappointment he hasn’t already been confirmed. Another points out it was Miliband who led the charge against Starmer on Burnham’s behalf for the last year, and Miliband who advised Burnham to commit to the existing fiscal rules. Miliband’s allies have been pitching him as chancellor as recently as the last few days, suggesting he has had no assurances from Burnham. They say he is the candidate with the most experience and support in the party. But others are warning he would be a soft target and lose popularity. A Bloomberg survey of market participants finds Miliband would be their least favoured pick as chancellor. Just 5% backed him.
David Icke: You know exactly what you plan to do...
You know exactly what you plan to do, you liar, and it will be more than tax the wealthy. Add all the taxes together including fuel tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, insurance tax, buy a home tax, the lot, and you see that government is organised crime and 'legalised' robbery even before he comes in.Liz Webster: Nigel Farage’s entire political career...
👀 Nigel Farage’s entire political career has been built on one trick: Nigel is “the people” and anyone who questions Nigel is “the establishment”. But polling suggests Britain has finally worked it out. Scrutiny isn’t a stitch-up. Accountability isn’t persecution. And Nigel Farage isn’t the people. He’s just Nigel Farage.David Icke: A puppet leaves and another prepares to take...
