If you want to compare a mistake over a work phone at 24, on a graduate scheme, that ended in a conditional discharge, with a £5 million bribe from a crypto billionaire in Thailand on your way to Parliament then let’s do that. Louise Haigh resigned. When is Reform picking a new leader ?
Can I just say, as someone who has lived in a fairly under resourced part of the far South West, at no point have the commentariat deigned to give a shit about that area - until it was a chance to bash Labour/Burnham.
EXC: Sunday Times read on Burnham's preparations for power
*Policy work continuing at pace. Burnham has privately committed to scrapping jury trial reforms and his team are examining how to tighten the prison early release scheme to exclude child sex offenders
*The long-awaited meeting between Burnham and Shabana Mahmood – one of two frontrunners for chancellor – took place this week. Wes Streeting, meanwhile, is currently slated for foreign secretary

Upon my election, I was required to declare the £2400 per month I had earned working full time for the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
The suggestion that this same principle would not apply to literally millions of pounds in 'gifts' is an interesting defence from Farage.
Where are the people who support Andy Burnham, Lucy Powell, Lisa Nandy, Wes Streeting. I don’t see any of them on here. All I see is some very angry ex Labour supporters/voters. Put your hands up if you read this and you think they’re great.
Insight, the Sunday Times investigation team, can reveal that Cottrell is involved in an offshore crypto gambling platform implicated in potential criminal betting in the UK
He is also seeking a pardon from Trump
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage appears to have breached MP rules after failing to declare that convicted criminal George Cottrell paid for his staff, security and social media output before 2024 election

Neoliberal YIMBYs: We want more housing.
Andy Burnham: Okay, we’re going to increase the building of council homes.
Neoliberal YIMBYs: no, not like that.
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
For years these clowns have screamed that Labour hates left-behind Britain. So Labour chooses a leader from left-behind Britain, and at once, and without a blush of shame, they scream that Burnham hates the south. Honestly, a distracted toddler could produce better journalism
Is this yet another "Manchester has focused too much on generating prosperity and not enough on knowing its place, staying poor, and whining for more handouts" pieces from the British right wing press? It has that whiff to it. https://t.co/fQKK9ff8K9
