£15.5 BILLION!!!
YET, there’s no money to fix pot holes, the NHS, police on the streets, schools falling apart, social care for the elderly, housing the homeless, or support for veterans... amongst other things,
Absolutely disgraceful.
Andy Burnham has readmitted serial bully and enemy of Brexit John Bercow to the Labour Party.
On the sly of course.
Says it all really.
Rotten leader, rotten party, rotten choices.
Mark Rowley , head of the Met Police, must resign. @ShabanaMahmood , Home Secretary must resign.
Their incompetence neans an innocent woman is dead.

Cambridge University could be forced to review the grades given to students of Jason Arday after graduates unhappy with their results said they were considering legal action.
A number of Mr Arday’s former students have complained that they received lower grades than expected after “inadequate” supervision by the professor. In one case, a student who asked to change supervisor was accused of being racist.
Separately, Prof Deborah Prentice, the university’s vice-chancellor, is facing demands to refund the tuition fees of students who were taught by Mr Arday after they were “deceived about the nature of their education”.
A mass refund or large-scale retrospective grade changes would be unprecedented in the university’s 800-year history.
Prof Prentice is also facing criticism for failing to grip the crisis engulfing the university, which has damaged its reputation on the international stage. The academics have accused the £507,000-a-year leader of the university of “inaction”, having made no public comments since The Telegraph first reported on the plagiarism row around Mr Arday a fortnight ago. He has now resigned.
It has also emerged that when Cambridge was sent fresh evidence of Mr Arday’s alleged plagiarism last year – having first been alerted to it in 2023 – the “responsible person” allocated to the case was Prof Hilary Cremin, the head of Mr Arday’s faculty who had told him he was “the best in the world” when he was hired.
On Friday, Cambridge announced that it would be reviewing the process by which it appoints senior staff, in what is being seen by some academics as an attempt to head off an independent inquiry.

A former Labour parliamentary candidate has been jailed for four years after using a fake Oxford degree to land more than a dozen senior NHS roles – before going on sick leave to avoid doing the jobs.
Amran Hussain, 40, was Labour's candidate for North East Hampshire in the 2015 general election before embarking on an eight-year campaign of fraud that cost the taxpayer £168,000.
Using fake certificates and fictitious references, he fabricated degrees from the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Birkbeck to blag his way into 13 senior NHS roles across the country, including some with salaries of more than £78,000-a-year.
.
Hussain took an astonishing 1,332 sick days (70 per cent of his days employed) by claiming he had a litany of illnesses, including post Covid-19 syndrome, tiredness, anxiety, depression, low mood, headaches, neck pain, pelvic pain, vertigo, headaches and dizziness and migraines.
His deception finally unravelled in 2021, when Devon Partnership NHS Trust offered him a £90,000-a-year role as deputy chief operating officer and carried out checks on his application – discovering no record of his claimed job at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Tr
During this time, he applied for 2,071 NHS jobs, with his 13 fraudulent roles costing the British taxpayer £168,072.41.
Out of a total of 1,902 days employed, Hussain took 1,332 days off sick – the equivalent of three years and nearly eight months.
Two of his roles were NHS band 8D, where his salary would have been more than £78,000-a-year at the time of his employment (they are more than £100k today).
The most experienced role he blagged his way into was as the head of outpatient pathway redesign for University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust.
After signing his contract, he worked just one shift from the 116 days he was employed, claiming 115 days of sick leave.
How he was able to repeatedly pass reference checks and go undetected for so many years remains a mystery.
Hussain's fraud was finally exposed after Devon Partnership NHS Trust offered him a deputy chief operating officer role in 2021 and carried out checks on his application.
He had claimed to be the director of transformation and improvement at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. But the NHS found no record of his employment and they later discovered he had never worked there.
They subsequently discovered he had tricked his way into 13 different NHS roles.
Despite getting hired for several high-income NHS roles over eight years, it's understood Hussain's fraud only amounted to £168,000 because he would often be on sick leave and therefore not receive his full yearly salaries.
Hussain was also found to have fraudulently secured jobs outside of the NHS, including at NottinghamCityCare Partnership and Kent County Council.
While out on police bail, Hussain was elected as a councillor for Crockham Hill, a ward within Westerham Town Council, in the 2023 elections.
A retired Westerham councillor and neighbour told the Mail: 'He became a Westerham councillor. Somebody said I should talk to him because he had so many great ideas and he tried to contact me once. They said somebody is moving up near you and he's getting onto the council.
'It's amazing these characters. You just think what? You just never know what's going on.'
The selfie-loving fraudster has also posted pictures alongside the world's fastest sprinter Usain Bolt, who he met while volunteering at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Many years earlier, as a schoolboy in 2005, he accused the late Queen Elizabeth II of undermining London's Olympic dream by saying she thought Paris would win the bid to host the 2012 Games over Britain.
The desire to speak to the national media and share selfies with celebrities and politicians
Hussain was sentenced to four years in prison on July 24. He previously admitted three counts of fraud by false representation at Maidstone Crown Court
"Ann Widdecombe was hit on the head with a hammer 21 times at her home as she ate lunch in an attack that was caught on camera"
Two questions:
Why was CCTV of him arriving at her house never shared by police, yet him putting the bins out was?
Why did they arrest the wrong man?
NEWS: Shabana Mahmood is bracing for ousting at the next General Election as Muslim independents are accused of a Gaza plot to boost the Greens
Her Birmingham Ladywood seat is forecast to be lost amid the rise of pro Gaza independents
They have always considered her a "sell out" so this was always expected and i think it will not just be her where they tactically vote in this way, i wonder if the right will adapt to this or continue fighting amongst themselves?
Mark Rowley, chief constable of the Met Police must resign. He has screwed up far too many times. He is Sadiq Khan's poodle but he is incompetent.
@andyburnham
European politicians think that welcoming radical Islamists is cultural enrichment.
Watch video carefully... Pakistani migrant Mohammad almost killed the gentle lady who was peacefully walking on street.
Think about what you are going to leave for your future generations
Keir Starmer's downfall began when he took the Winter
Fuel Payment away from pensioners.
Andy Burnham's downfall will be the early release of killers who appeared to laugh and joke at their crimes.
They are both unfit to be the Prime Minister of this once great country.
This country needs real leadership. This country needs Nigel Farage. #ReformUK
These Pakistani men are harassing white British girls. Luckily another Brit saw and helped the girls. Girls were scared to the core.
Make these assholes famous. Find them. Deport them.
Oh, Cabinet Office. Sweet, shameless, swollen Cabinet Office.
Ninety billion pounds to "support communities," you say? Let me consult the ledger. Eight corporations donate half a million to Labour HQ and abracadabra receive £138 million in contracts within twelve months. That is not supporting communities. That is quid pro quo with a spreadsheet.
Mark Ferguson, former LabourList editor turned Parliamentary Secretary, wants to explain "new rules" for young people? Which rules precisely? The ones where Labour Together staffers stroll into senior civil service posts without an interview? The ones where ministers' former aides oversee contracts awarded to their ex-employers? Those rules?
Your maths is miraculous. Ninety billion pounds enters the system. One hundred thirty eight million flows to eight donors. The rest evaporates into "administrative costs" and diversity seminars. You have built a vending machine where the coins go in at Millbank and the contracts come out at the Treasury.
You promised to "turn the page on sleaze." You turned it to the chapter titled "Same Old Labour: The Director's Cut." The only skills workshop you are running teaches how to invoice the taxpayer for access.
You are not opening opportunities for young people. You are auctioning them to the highest bidder. Meritocracy is dead. It died of embarrassment the day you handed that donor his direct line to the Permanent Secretary.
Now scurry along. Your compliance officer needs a raise and your ethics advisor needs a stiff drink.
I think Cambridge have really shot themselves in the foot with this and can see huge legal ramifications coming their way.
I wonder if this will put off future DEI wokery in the education system?
