Alex Wickham: Exclusive by @LucyGJWhite...
Exclusive by @LucyGJWhite Reform makes plans for early election A person close to Reform says the party has become increasingly concerned Andy Burnham might call an election to take advantage of the recent decline in Nigel Farage’s fortunes triggered by revelations about the party’s finances They express concerns that Reform won’t be ready and has yet to create policy in key areas like foreign affairs, defence and education, and that it’s missing spokespeople on important beats As a result Reform is rapidly drawing up a skeleton manifesto and speeding up candidate selection, running assessment centres over the summer, they say Reform will also try to regain some impetus from Burnham by launching an attack on small-boat crossings next week A Reform official confirms the party is speeding up candidate selection and that work is ongoing to produce a manifesto, but insists they’re optimistic about their chances should Burnham call an early election

Are you happy @andyburnham about the arrest of decedents of holocaust survivors as terrorists? Is this woman the same as a member of Islamic State? Sort it out.

Liberals and lefties trying to think of a narrative that can explain 50,000 rampaging migrants setting fire to cars, looting shops, attacking police and entering innocent Spaniards homes… “ it’s a climate change refugee emergency “ 🤣🤦🏻♂️Philip Proudfoot: If @andyburnham really wants...
If @andyburnham really wants to differentiate himself from Starmer and rebuild the absolute mess he left, maybe just stopping this absolute shite? Maybe we shouldn’t arrest people for words on card anymore?Alex Wickham: BP’s decision to sell its North Sea...
NEW by @Joe_Mayes @MitchellFerman @EllenAMilligan BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business leaves a pivotal decision for Andy Burnham and marks a critical moment for Britain’s dwindling oil and gas industry North Sea producers have criticised Tory and Labour governments since the 2022 windfall tax, arguing investing there is no longer competitive Trump wants Burnham to change tack and the new PM let the president believe he would in their first call But the reality is it’s politically contentious with environmentalists and Labour MPs opposing new drilling. That’s now been made even harder by the wildfires in Europe Despite his rhetoric it appears Burnham is in reality just looking at doing what Keir Starmer likely would have done eventually, ie tie-backs, Jackdaw and Rosebank, rather than any major change in policy That risks upsetting both sides: Trump, trade unions and the oil and gas industry for whom it might not be enough, and the green-minded side who don’t want any more drilling BP’s move “should be a defining moment for the new prime minister,” says Russell Borthwick, chief executive of Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce. “This decision is another stark reminder that confidence in the UK continental shelf has been badly shaken after years of policy uncertainty, punitive taxation and mixed messages about the future of the industry.”

What a surprise ? Not Record reoffending after 70,000 prisoners released early But Alex Belfield remains in HMP Stoke Heath.
Pat McGinnis: 25% turnout in the Manchester...
25% turnout in the Manchester Mayoral election. These turnouts are the reason we are getting ruled by Labour with a minority of the population supporting them. NHPUK campaign for compulsory voting like in Australia.
Ben Habib: What happened in Ceuta...
What happened in Ceuta is happening across Europe and in the U.K. The scale is smaller and the rate of influx slower. But the net result will be the same. Europe and the U.K. will be overwhelmed. Our borders need military enforcement
Chris Williamson: Stop this madness...
Stop this madness, @andyburnham . Deproscribe Palestine action now, and stop selling weapons to Israel.Adam Brooks: Hey lefties, anything to say...
Hey lefties, anything to say ? Homes looted, cars burned, women harassed, shops emptied. Violence en masse. This is what happens in an invasion from different cultures. Ceuta is what we’ve all warned you of.
David Kurten: Manchester Mayor By-election...
Manchester Mayor By-election: Labour predicted to win as Reform slide. Labour are benefitting in the short term from a 'Burnham bounce' but that will soon dissipate when people see that he is continuing the destructive policies of the uni-party. Reform are sliding as they are stuck in the quagmire of explaining donations from foreign-based billionaires.Adam Brooks: When the general public...
When the general public realise what these savages do to women on these channel dinghies, they’ll realise why people like me have been so vocal. And now they’ll be in a hotel, HMO or barracks near your family. Our Government are a disgrace.
Anthony Costello: At last brave serious journalists at the Telegraph...
At last brave serious journalists at the Telegraph like Ambrose Evans Pritchard + Tim Stanley are calling out the anti net-zero nonsense of Badenoch, the right wing MSM, and all the other climate deniers. The future for our children is grim if the world’s politicians don’t act.
Patrick Christys: More people moved out of London...
More people moved out of London last year than any year (except Covid) since 1988. The boroughs seeing the biggest net outflows are Newham, Brent, Redbridge, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth and Hillingdon. It doesn’t take a genius to work out why.Alex Wickham: Andy Burnham’s social care speech signals...
Andy Burnham’s social care speech signals that a major new policy will come in autumn 2027 at the earliest, indicating tax rises will likely be needed to pay for it He says Louise Casey will expedite her review so it’s completed a year from now. The review will consider how to pay for a new social care policy. Casey is launching a national conversation about it From the fiscal perspective this suggests no new policy until at least autumn 2027 and therefore that Burnham and John Healey will not need to find new money for it at this year’s budget Asked about tax rises, he says he thinks it’s possible to do “much more” within existing budgets but that “difficult decisions” will be required. That suggests he accepts tax rises are likely needed to pay for the policy. He recommits to Labour’s manifesto pledges There were no real details today about what sorts of options Burnham and Casey are looking at, but a cast iron commitment to fix social care He says “it is a major dereliction of public duty” that successive governments have not fixed social care, calling it “shameful.” Says “social care in England is as unfair as American healthcare” He says people may be feeling deja vu, criticising 22 social care reviews in the last three decades, but vows “this time we are going to do it” Burnham says he’ll look at how to improve working standards for care workers, and hold talks with other parties to try to build a consensus (although the Tories and Reform say they won’t support new tax rises)
Aaron Bastani: Greens are still doing politics as if Burnham...
Greens are still doing politics as if Burnham wasn’t PM, and their job was stopping Reform. But Labour is coming for your votes! Perfectly reasonable to focus relentlessly on two things: climate change and classic green issues, and foreign policy. Burnham v vulnerable on both.
James Foster: Why would @andyburnham invite @Nigel_Farage...
Why would @andyburnham invite @Nigel_Farage ? Nigel, you chose to resign as an MP to spend your summer fighting a man who wears a bin over his head.Aaron Bastani: Seen some extraordinary wishcasting...
Seen some extraordinary wishcasting in last few days saying reform is over (and no, it’s not joking with the Tucker Carlson meme). As long as migration is a top 2 issue that simply isn’t happening (even if they aren’t the largest party at next GE).
Alice Smith: This is further proof that leftists...
This is further proof that leftists are neither principled nor clever people. Zero conception of secondary or longer-term consequences. Their only concern is sound bites in the moment and votes at the next election - that’s it, that’s all.
Pat Condell: There’s nothing liberal about the people...
There’s nothing liberal about the people Americans refer to as liberals. They are what has become known as ‘progressive,’ a deceptive word which disguises a multitude of vicious authoritarian evils. They are about as illiberal as it’s possible to be.
Patrick Christys: British taxpayers are paying for French...
British taxpayers are paying for French police to stand there and wave off the illegal migrants. Are they charity workers in the shoreline as well just helping them on their way? These charity groups need to be sanctioned and face prosecution.Adam Brooks: Andy Burnham refused questions...
Andy Burnham refused questions from @GBNews … the NO.1 news station in Britain. Says it all … different Labour PM, same lefty arrogance and agenda.
David Icke: Government is organised crime...
Government is organised crime stealing the income of the population who have no idea where much of it goes. Tax goes up and up while services get worse and worse. Where does the money go? To the mobsters who long ago hijacked government through their gofers like Burnham. Al Capone would have been embarrassed at the staggering levels of corruption.
Carl Benjamin: The left has demonstrated time...
The left has demonstrated time and time again that they celebrate their own assassins when they murder a right-winger.Alex Wickham: Exclusive by @ChaplainChloe...
Exclusive by @ChaplainChloe Labour MPs warn Andy Burnham he’ll lose their support if he makes “punitive” welfare cuts. It’s the first warning to the new PM from the party’s left After Burnham’s comments about cutting the welfare bill on Monday, one MP says he has to be careful not to repeat Keir Starmer’s mistake of focusing on savings rather than fairness. Without proper engagement with MPs he risks having cuts blocked by the party, they say Another Labour MP, Kim Johnson, says she’s concerned the appointment of John Healey as chancellor “signals a return to a ‘warfare, not welfare’ approach” “If the new leadership believes it can revive the failed politics of welfare cuts instead of asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share, it will be repeating not only Keir Starmer’s mistakes but fourteen years of Tory austerity,” Johnson said. “If the first instinct of a new leadership is to target disabled people and low-income families rather than challenge the wealth and inequality at the top of society, then nothing has been learned” John McDonnell says welfare reform “must be based upon a strategy of providing positive support to people rather than punitive sanction”David Kurten: The UK government needs...
The UK government needs to release migrant crime figures. If they fail to do so, it is obvious they are covering up its extent.Pat Condell: Yeah, sure...
Yeah, sure. This is the man who said there was no evidence that Muslim rape gangs operated in London. It later emerged that he had read police reports to the contrary. He knew very well that Muslims were raping children in London, yet when repeatedly asked about it in the London Assembly he pretended not to understand the question. In a sane country an elected official who behaved like that would go to prison. The police have now identified more than four thousand historical cases they intend to investigate where the Muslim mayor said there were none, while telling us over and over that we should celebrate diversity - as if there’s any diversity in a Muslim ghetto. The mayor gets chauffeured everywhere in an armour-plated vehicle to protect him from the diversity, while reciting his favourite mantra that diversity is our strength. And a lot of stupid white people believe him, until diversity robs them at knifepoint or rapes their daughter and they find out what it really means. Diversity is such a strength that women can’t go out for an evening without being harassed or molested or worse by diversity with its penis out. If you’re walking in central London, don’t glance at your phone for a second too long or diversity on a bike will snatch it away. Maybe you’ll take the tube, if diversity isn’t urinating on the train. Or catch a bus, if diversity isn’t taking a dump at the bus stop. And then lunch, if diversity isn’t brawling in the food court. And afterwards some shopping, if diversity isn’t rampaging through the store assaulting and looting. In London, and in every other city in Britain we now take immigrant lawlessness for granted. Nobody feels safe on public transport any more, especially not at night. And hardly a day goes by without another stabbing or another rape by another imported tyre-swinger. But crime is falling? No, London is falling. Of course recorded crime will fall if the police, known for their double standards, choose not to record it. The population of London is now barely one third white because white people are moving out to get away from the violent diversity. In a generation or so at this rate London will be indistinguishable from Karachi or Lagos, and this Pakistani Muslim mayor can’t wait to see it happen.Read more
