Andy Burnham is not the left’s saviour. He is its sedative. His rise risks anaesthetising the very discontent that should fuel a bolder progressive surge.

Keir Starmer is willing to run roughshod over our basic freedoms just to suppress criticism of Israel and his government's role in the Gaza genocide.
We must resist this appalling authoritarianism at all costs.
For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.
Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.
Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.
"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.
The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.
HAPPENING NOW 🇨🇴 Students from Universidad del Valle, one of the largest public universities in Colombia, are striking against far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella until after the second round of the presidential election.
Yesterday, @wesstreeting and his media friends tried to gaslight everyone into believing he'd opposed Israel's genocide all along.
But here's Streeting in February 2024, when asked if Israel was committing genocide.. 🧵
"We need this anti-war conference to reinvigorate the global peace movement. I'll be there, and you too!"
Thanks to our deputy president @jeremycorbyn for this fantastic message of support for the International Anti-War conference in London on 20 June.
The shadow Home Secretary blames "a dangerous ideology of so-called anti-racism" in the police for Henry Nowak's awful murder
After decades of institutional police racism!
The right's exploitation of this tragedy is sick & lets the police off the hook for this & other failings
Pro-Palestine prisoner Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old with muscular dystrophy, has been dragging himself across his prison cell floor because he has been denied a wheelchair.
He hasn't had access to a shower for over 20 weeks.
He has been waiting for a neurology appointment for over 12 weeks while experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.
This is happening in a British prison right now.
I've written to David Lammy to demand answers:
Henry Nowak was a young man with his whole life ahead of him.
His final moments were heartbreaking: pleading that he couldn't breathe, before bleeding to death in handcuffs.
The police failed in their duty to protect him. There must be real accountability for what happened.
While some have sought to weaponise his death for their own divisive agendas, Henry's family have shown extraordinary fortitude in their grief: "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to help make our streets safer for everyone."
My thoughts are with his family. Justice for Henry.
You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.
Following its 8th Congress, the Party of the European Left has reaffirmed its commitment to peace, social justice, anti-austerity policies and economic alternatives to militarisation.
These are not just principles on paper. They are the foundation of our political action.
That is why we are fully committed to the European demonstration on 14 June in Brussels - organised by the Stop Rearm Europe campaign and co-intitiated by our political foundation @transform_ntwrk - under the slogan:
✊ Welfare, not warfare
This mobilisation reflects the very values we stand for: investing in people, public services and social rights instead of an arms race; building peace instead of escalating conflict; defending solidarity instead of austerity.
Because this campaign is so closely aligned with our political priorities, the European Left will support, amplify and mobilise for it with all its strength.
📍 Join us on 14 June in Brussels and raise your voice for a Europe of peace, welfare and social justice.
