@ritafromruncorn @forster_k In the scheme of things - yes small city.

Katherine is a journalist who expects our PM to open himself up to account.

What’s not OK is Burnham running away at every single chance.

It seems an English Teacher is running our country - I for one would like him scrutinised.

@iainmartin1 @tomwhx @christopherhope 700 word speech with an empty room. He read from notes and looked absurd.

A press release would have done the job

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@ritafromruncorn @forster_k ? He’s the Prime Minister and scrutiny in a mature democracy includes the UK media.

He’s no longer the Mayor of a small city and yes, he must face the media.

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

Unfortunately PM Burnham didn’t walk past, or speak to us journalists on his arrival at the European Political Community Summit here in Dublin. Unlike most of the leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Polish PM Donald Tusk, and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen #epc2026

@alicesalisburyj Understood the April failure, isn’t the issue the UK declining to confirm its secret ballot vote in electing Iran to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination in November. Foreign Office ministers said withholding voting records in UN secret ballots is government policy.

@jfoster2019 @YisraelOfficial @IDF Well said.

@vonderleyen @andyburnham Every time VDL posts it makes me, and I’m sure many others, scream - get lost.

Look after the countries you control and leave us alone. A classic EU politician failed in her own country so got promoted out.

@JimCognito2016 @DJM1865 Told me?

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@JimCognito2016 @DJM1865 Jim - really not sure why you’ve bought POTUS into this.

We will disagree.

I believe Labour politicians had enough information to know that Brand shouldn’t be used to promote their Party.

That’s it.

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@danbloom1 Clearly they would, as would a Labour government.

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@Simon_Nixon Gosh - if right this is not a great look for Burnham.

Burnham is so out of his depth I’d have touchy he’d welcome the input from a former PM.

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@TerraOrBust Frost seems to think Burnham’s confused as to what the Reset is saying on AI.

Think we need to watch out what gets through.

@Bankersbonus1 @RWTaylors @tonyaddison “The measure increases the normal minimum pension age, which is the minimum age at which most pension savers can access their pensions without incurring an unauthorised payments tax charge unless they are retiring due to ill-health, from age 55 to 57 in April 2028.”

I’m furious. Blindingly furious. In fact, blindingly furious doesn’t cover it.
On Wednesday, the Islamic Republic of Iran was elected to the United Nations’ Committee for Programme and Coordination, the 34-member body that oversees how the UN delivers its programmes, from human rights and women’s rights to counterterrorism.
Yes, really. The world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism now has a hand in reviewing the UN’s counterterrorism operations, and a regime that hangs dissidents from cranes will help to scrutinise its work on human rights.
America, Canada and Australia explicitly voted against the move. “The committee should not seat a regime that silences dissent and fuels regional instability,” said Canada’s foreign minister, Anita Anand. Australia’s Penny Wong said Iran’s conduct “undermines multilateralism”.
Ed Miliband, by contrast, had already approved Iran’s candidacy back in April. According to the Foreign Office, its hands were tied. Iran had been put forward by the UN’s Asia-Pacific group, alongside India, Japan and Pakistan, and Hamish Falconer, the Middle East minister, described the nomination as an “automaticity”. Chris Elmore, another minister, insisted that Britain could not have blocked it.
Really? Then how did the Americans, Canadians and Australians manage to stand up and be counted? Nobody was asking Britain to perform a miracle. We were being asked to do the bare minimum: to say, out loud, that a regime which has spent the past four years trying to murder people on British soil has no business sitting in judgement on anybody’s counterterrorism programme. The Foreign Office couldn’t even manage that.
Let’s consider what Tehran has been up to...

@rotoneros @isaacrrr7 If?

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@joseph_gellman @redtory_ Niche.

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

The UK *nominated* Iran to join this committee.

Why @Ed_Miliband? Is this what you shook hands over?

[PrimroseViews @PrimroseViews]

@Tory_Brexit69 @UKLabour Looks ridiculous.
