If a regional manager of a struggling corporation got the job of CEO without being interviewed and in his first presentation to shareholders announced his first priority is setting up a second head office up North he’d be laughed out.
Reform is sinking in the polls and losing every national contest that gets real scrutiny. Zia Yusuf won’t deny failing to be selected as a candidate. Farage’s £5m gift won’t go away. This is the same corruption blueprint Orban, Trump, Erdogan and Bolsonaro all followed to power.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Listened to Burnham’s speech.
Not the speech of a PM in waiting
It was the speech of an inspirational community activist with political aspirations but ignoring 21st century global complexities

I don’t understand why an incoming prime minister would want to associate himself so closely with failure and have sitting beside him a man who betrayed both Starmer and his own brother. https://t.co/owgRUzvx5C
Things Keir Starmer taught me:
Politicians can have morals
When others demean themselves, leave them to it
When others go low, go higher
Service should be the only reason to want to be a PM
Being humble is more attractive than arrogance
Handle all circumstances with grace
Absolutely appalling way to treat a man that was doing such a great job of turning this country around after 14 years of Tory mismanagement and disaster.
I’m ashamed that the party didn’t rally around him, and why I have resigned my membership.
