Perspectives and insight on an uncertain world

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

For the record:

▪️I opposed Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014

▪️I called on FIFA to strip Russia of the 2018 World Cup

▪️I have resolutely supported Ukraine and Ukrainian Mayors since 2022

▪️I believe the British Right’s closeness to Putin is a risk to our national security

#OTD 2010. After his meeting with Gillian Duffy, Gordon Brown heads to final TV debate.

He warns that Cameron and Clegg will form a coalition and “wreck the recovery” through spending cuts

“They are not ready for government because they have not thought through their policies”

What's the @EalingGreens view on this?

[PollCheck @poll_checker]

London Local Elections will have ~45% more candidates in 2026 than 2022

This is largely driven by Reform who have 1,535 candidates in 2026, vs just 32 in 2022

Greens have an additional 663 candidates this year

There are also 289 more Independents

This means that every seat will have an average of 4.9 candidates competing for it, compared to 3.4 in 2022

Current projections include:

Greens largest party in Hackney and Haringey

Reform largest in Havering, Bexley and Bromley

Is this the same Daily Mail that loves our country so much that it went to the ECJ to see if it could transfer its seat out of the UK in order to pay less tax? https://t.co/9PBSgUhVhp https://t.co/qy86SflUDM

Deliberately making yourselves poorer is a terrible way of reducing a current account deficit.
