[Andy Burnham for Makerfield @andy4makerfield]

Within DAYS of taking office, Andy Burnham commissioned an inquiry into grooming gangs that:

- vindicated the whistleblowers
- exposed institutional cover-ups,
- and led to arrests and convictions of perpetrators who would otherwise have walked free.

Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.

Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.

We are building Great British Railways. 🇬🇧🚆

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.

Excuse me. But banned why? Are we seriously saying Farage UK should have its own 24/7 news and propaganda channel with barely a peep from @Ofcom but if another party uses what Farage and Co have said in an election broadcast they can’t show it. Madness. Anyway do watch it. It is very powerful

@poker_biker @johnelworthy Then they should not have been in the market in the first place

More than 20,000 households across Peterborough will benefit from the biggest strengthening of renters’ rights in over 40 years.
The new Renters’ Rights Act bans no-fault evictions, limits rent rises & delivers greater security for tenants.

If the United States truly thinks about withdrawing from NATO, then European security will be based solely on the European Union. But not in its current form. I think that the EU is in a situation where it needs more countries.

The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway. These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia's army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia. With the four countries on board you can wrest control of the seas, have secure skies and the largest land forces.

It’s not about offense, because when Russia makes the decision to have an army of 2.5 million people by 2030, Europe has to think about security and how to preserve its independence. The UK once was a member of the EU. There are concerns about agriculture when it comes to Türkiye. But you can manage all of this if you have a really great economy. But security comes first, economy second. Not vice versa.

Peterborough’s £17m Fletton Quays hotel loan was sold as secure.
Administrators now say full repayment is not expected.
Inside the Cabinet assurances, the collapsed sale, the vanished £5m inter‑company debt, and why taxpayers are footing the bill. 🧵 Full investigation: via @CambsNewsOnline https://t.co/2beajbSmQG

This is the difference with Labour.

Christmas gift giving is a zero sum game. Too much tit-for-tat ends up in tat, that wastes money and fills landfills.

"At least 15 English sewage plants use plastic beads spilled at Camber Sands."

So @Southernwater's toxic plastic bead pollution now extends from Eastbourne all the way to at least Folkestone, that's about 50 miles of coast. Polluted by something introduced 34 years ago as a temporary measure while WCs upgraded their sewage works yet here we are 15 of them still using it. 🤬🤬🤬

Oh and that nonsense from SW's managing director for wastewater, totally bullshit but why aren't we surprised.

Nigel Farage's Reform is stuffed full of former Tories - the party who broke the asylum system.

Labour is fixing the Tories' mess and bringing order to our borders.

There are tonnes of UK aid for Gaza waiting in Jordan.

The aid route from Jordan must be re-opened and restrictions must be lifted.

The people of Gaza cannot wait.

Junk food harms kids.

That’s why @jamieoliver and I are taking a stand together and backing his #AdEnough campaign by banning junk food adverts on @My_Metro 🚇

We want to help young people make healthy choices- they don’t need to see a load of ads promoting unhealthy food on their way to school. Enough is enough.
