Andy Burnham talks about restoring faith in politics, saying that people will rightly ask “what hope can we have that it will be different this time?”
“Westminster hasn't been working for people. It hasn't been working for a very long time. In fact it is broken,” he says.
'We can’t go through another decade like the one we just had. We need a new determination to raise living standards. We need to change politics and we need to do it now.”
Burnham warns that his generation of politicians hasn’t been honest, and has engaged in “finger pointing and point scoring” - which is “dangerous and destructive” of public trust in politics.
Why did Boris Johnson accept a £1m gift from the same billionaire who gave Farage £5m?
What did Nigel Farage AND Boris Johnson do for the biggest lump sums of cash ever given to British politicians?
So glad to see this trending. #HarborneReceipts

THIS is the moment on #BBCQT tonight!
Gentleman in white ERUPTS:
“It’s pathetic what’s going on with Farage… people should not even contemplate having Farage in charge of the country!”
Pure fire. Zero filter. The anger is palpable.
Fiona Bruce tried to push back with “plenty in the audience support him” but this man just said what millions of us are thinking.

🚨PIERS MORGAN DELIVERS BRUTAL KNOCKOUT BLOW: “FARAGE IS FINISHED!” OVER £5M “BUNG” SCANDAL 🔥
In a blistering TV takedown this morning on Laura Kuenssberg’s show, @piersmorgan unleashed a savage assault on Nigel Farage, declaring the Reform UK leader “dead in the water” and effectively DONE after swallowing a controversial £5 million “bung” from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire.
Morgan didn’t hold back, ripping into Farage’s ever-changing excuses for the massive windfall:
“He took this money and still can’t get his story straight! At first it was for personal security… then a reward for Brexit… now he says it’s just a gift and he can spend it on Ferraris if he wants!”
The fiery broadcaster painted a picture of a cornered Farage, visibly rattled as questions rain down like punches:
“You can see how rattled he is. These questions are not going away. I think he’ll be found guilty by the Parliament investigation.”
Explosive stuff! Especially since everyone knows Piers and Farage have been at each other’s throats for years. Their long-running feud has clearly added extra venom to Morgan’s morning massacre, with the outspoken host all but signing Farage’s political death warrant before any official probe has even concluded.
The £5m gift has stoked massive suspicion: undeclared properly, tied to a crypto tycoon, and surrounded by dodgy flip-flopping that has left Farage looking slippery at best.
Harborne’s gift of £5m to Farage wasn’t his first act of generosity.
He also gave £1m to Johnson *after* he left office. What for, you ask? Neither are saying.
But in contrast to the flights, he did declare this.
2 months later he flew on Harborne’s jet to Ukraine

Seeing a lot of people saying Keir Starmer is the worst prime minister in their lifetime and the only reasonable conclusion to make is that they are two years old
This is fantastic.
He’s tried to do the news rounds for the first time in months, trying to piggy back off Starmer, but he’s actually been held to account and he just can’t handle it at all.
How could someone so easily rattled be PM?
It’s the 10th anniversary of Brexit. Let’s have a look at how that’s going:
1974-2016: 7 prime ministers
2016-2026: 7 prime ministers
I said it then. I’ll say it again.
It’s a shitshow.
