What a relief.
Burnham seemingly isn't going to persist with the 'broad tent' nonsense, when the individuals in question are incompetent.
Steve Reed and Peter Kyle should be nowhere near running a G7 economy.
A reminder that the Rosebank oil field license (which is what is being trailed here) is being given to a company owned by Israeli company Delek Group, which uses its revenues to directly facilitate illegal settlements in the West Bank
Here's Shabana Mahmood in February 2020, stating that Labour Together's funding is registered on the Electoral Commission's website.
Between 2017 and 2020, they unlawfully failed to declare £730,000 in donations from wealthy donors, and were fined £14,250 for these breaches.
There’s a good line from Gary Stevenson while speaking to Piers Morgan last night.
You can’t have an untaxed billionaire class, and an asset owning middle class at the same time. You have to choose.
He’s right.
Yet another indictment of the politically (and literally) bankrupt water industry in this country. England had its 8th wettest winter on record. And yet the total lack of investment from the companies to build new reservoirs and capacity leaves us here. Urgent change needed.
‘She worked for four different healthcare companies" and "an adviser to some 12 other private healthcare providers"’. The Permanent Secretary to the Department of Health!? Paid 200k, more than Starmer. She should be fired immediately, + banned from future health consultancy.

@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.
We are heading towards the abyss.
And our media takes much of the blame.
That’s why I’m delighted to join the newly launched @zeteouk.

Piers Morgan's communist turn is something to behold – a thorn in the side of landlords, he now thinks that tenants living in house-shares should own the value of the property!
@itvpeston@SteveReedMP How can you have Reed on & not ask him, once, about being director of Labour Together while it illegally failed to declare £730k in donations for TWO YEARS. Or what that was spent on. Or emails showing he received emails criminally hacked from @InsideCroydon. Scrutiny-free zone.
After the 2024 general election was called, one hedge fund commissioned detailed research on Labour. This is the kind of thing hedge funds do: they buy satellite images of harvests or data on freight movements, looking for information other people don’t have, discovering the true price of something before the rest of the market figures it out.
The fund wanted to know who Labour’s MPs and ministers would be, what policies they would have, and how effectively they would deploy them. The polls said Labour was heading for a landslide victory and a huge majority. The research, according to a person familiar with the report, said, “There is no plan, there is no vision, and they’re not going to succeed because they don’t have the talent.” The fund decided to take a short position on UK gilts, effectively betting that Britain’s borrowing costs would rise. They made a lot of money on that bet.

Off air after 8 hours. Long way to go but long story short- Reform and to a lesser extent Greens are finally making real something long promised: the dismantling of the two party system across much of England. UKIP never did it. Didn’t happen under Corbyn. In place after place we’re seeing proper Labour wipeout and little sign of Tory revival in its place. For now, at least, a new political world.
The party of government, who manage the country and stuff, spent the last week relentlessly focusing on a retweet by a party leader who isn’t even an MP.
Are they surprised that, by 3am, they’d lost 83% of their councillors? To be honest they’re lucky it’s that low.
A rally addressed by Zack Polanski was disrupted by Reform supporters doing Nazi salutes
Absolutely no media outrage about this whatsoever.
Leftwing Jews Don't Count
Very strange intervention towards a major national party leader a week before an election. No offer to even engage.
The police are answerable to civilian politicians. Sometimes those politicians will be right, sometimes wrong, but they’re part of our democratic system.
