Andy Burnham calls out Trevor Phillips on inquiries into grooming gangs

"It's interesting you ask me that question because you don't know what I've already done.. There has been.. And is.. An ongoing major inquiry.. There has been a substantial report into what happened in Oldham.. As a result of that there is a major police investigation.. As result there have been multiple arrests, charges and convictions"

"That obviously seems to be lost on you.. Instead of facts, people are going straight to propaganda"

@implausibleblog Andy Burnham is a true civil servant. He puts others first, full stop. He holds his hands up if he gets it wrong. Refreshing in politics.

Here's a story from canvassing today in Western North Carolina that is worth reading:

I went to a house somewhat off the beaten path. A woman around 40-years-old answered the door. I introduced myself, told her I lived about 25 minutes away, and told her I was out volunteering on behalf of Kamala Harris for president.

She told me that Kamala had her vote, but she's not sure about her husband, who is a lifelong Republican.

I asked if anything I might say to her husband could change his mind. She said she wasn't sure, probably not, and that he "comes from a family of hardcore Trumpers."

Right as I was saying "you never know," her husband comes outside.

He's the same age as her (and me).

Big old unkept beard. Tattoos up and down. Wearing a "protect the 2A" shirt that had some sort of big ass gun on it, and old baggy blue jeans.

He said, "What's all this about?"

I introduced myself to him. I told him I heard from his wife that he may be supporting Donald Trump and that's totally okay, but I'm curious why.

He told me he wasn't really sure, it's what his family has always done.

He asked me why I'm supporting Kamala Harris.

I told him about my views on taxation, abortion, and health care, and then also just the importance of having someone who wants to unite America and who is not a character-depraved asshole, which I think Donald Trump is.

He asked me why I think that of Trump. I told him about the racist remarks from the MSG rally, the pussy grabbing stuff, January 06, the signed bibles, and so on.

He looked me in the eye and said "You know what, you're right. I can't vote for that guy. He's a fucking piece of shit."

(This is verbatim, his words not mine.)

I thanked him for giving me the time of day. I wasn't going to press him any further.

As I was walking away, he said, "Hey."

I turned around and he put out his hand. As we shook hands, he looked me in the eye and said "I am going to vote for Kamala Harris."

His wife was almost tears. He seemed to be too. Truly. Like this big fucking weight was off this man's chest.

Needless to say, it was the highlight of my week.
It shows that people are decent. Yes, many people are low-information. But many are decent. And many people want what is best for America.

It's also a reason to keep knocking doors. There are more people like him out there 🇺🇸

Trump says there’s no empty seats and the cameraman goes rogue

Live fact checks at trump rallies now

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

Let me tell something hopeful. In 2020 , a total of 778 ballots were cast in my county. 78% of them voted for Trump.

In early voting today, my oldest daughter, my wife, and I voted. My wife fed her ballot into the machine last. She was ballot #790.

The lady behind me said, “I haven’t voted in years.” I said, “I won’t ask.” She replied,”Don’t worry. It’s not him.”

The county clerk also said they have already had many young voters. I feel safe in saying those young voters didn’t come out to vote the first time for Donald Trump.

Keep in mind, Missouri has long been a red state. Change is coming.

Donald Trump, old boy…you are screwed, son.

@PolitlcsUK Prick of the highest order. Can’t fathom why the good people of Clayton voted for him ? He’s a showman not a public servant

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

His own Vice President will not be voting for him.

His former Chief of Staff will not.

His former Sec of Defense will not.

His former Nat Security Advisor will not.

His former Joint Chiefs Chair will not.

His former AG will not.

Because he’s dangerous and unfit for office.

@paul__johnson I thank Mr Robinson for putting into words my own revulsion at that Man. My Dad died alone - for 13 weeks he held on,but for what ?A plastic chair with a screen between usThink about your Dad or loved one.The ‘rules’ said we could see him once he was dead. And it was overblown

[Paul Johnson @paul__johnson]

‘The partygate scandal was overblown’ - Kemi Badenoch

Another view:

[Patrick Gage 🌊 @GagePatrick]

I’ve knocked 530 doors and walked 22 miles since Friday. Kamala’s worth every step!

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

On day one
1. Partygate was overblown
2. Johnson was a great PM
3. The Covid rules she voted for were wrong
4. Sneering at the first woman chancellor
5. Announces tax cut for private schools
A mixture of arrogance, revisionism and poor judgement.
