‘Burnham is a phoney. He bangs on about being from the north because he has nothing else to say. Large parts of the north voted Brexit, but he wants to reverse that. He’s said nothing about the grooming gangs. Who does he think he’s kidding?’

My less-than-impressed take on Talk

🔥 MUST WATCH: Andrew Neil RUTHLESSLY RIPS APART Andy Burnham’s Big “Devolution Revolution” Plans!

“The fundamental problem, which is the opposite of what Mr Burnham is proposing, is that in Britain, as in many western democracies, government has got too big, tries to do too much, and as a consequence it does almost everything badly! And if anybody can come up with a correlation or, even more important, causation between devolution and growth, I’d like to see it! Because I see none.”

“If devolution meant economic growth then Scotland and Wales would be economic miracles. Instead Scotland is becoming an economic backwater and Wales has consolidated its position under devolution as one of the poorest regions in Europe. So where’s the correlation?”

Something tells me Mr @afneil isn’t buying these grand devolution plans at all, and he’s got one or two questions he’d like to put to the PM-in-waiting 😂

The brilliant @RupertDarwall addresses @Prosperity_Inst’s 2026 Free Market Roadshow and explains why Britain’s energy system has become more inefficient and how that is a fundamental reason as to why electricity prices in this country are some of the highest in the world.

@UKLabour 2015/16: £156.7b
2025/26: £210.8b

That's an increase of £54.1b a year.

Or more than *one billion* pounds more every single week. £350m by contrast is actual peanuts.

If Labour truly believes Farage to be a fascist, a man 10 points ahead in the polls, I'd suggest they don't hand him on a platter:
- Sweeping powers to ban freedom of speech online
- Legal proceedings with jury trials scrapped
- Legal precedent for scrapping elections

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

There’s a nice round number to remember here: ONE BILLION MORE every single week.

NHS funding 2015/16: £156.7bn (3bn a week).

NHS funding 2025/26: £210.8bn (4bn a week).

That's an increase of 25%, or more than £1,000 million every week. Adjusted for inflation.

Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020), which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came.
The PM is either ignorant of the facts — or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look.
The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes, we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us.
As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers.
Take 2018. We made 5,500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209 transfers were agreed. In the same year, under the same convention we accepted 1,215 asylum seekers. So we were net recipients by over 1,000. The Dublin Convention did nothing to make it easier to return asylum seekers.
Nearly all politicians are cavalier with the truth when it suits them. But Starmer is taking this to a new level.

Keir Starmer will put up your taxes. Bookmark this tweet.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Nadhim Zahawi’s story about his tax affairs doesn’t add up. After months of denials, the truth emerges.

His position is untenable. Rishi Sunak must dismiss him from his Cabinet.👇🏻

@hatunike @gruber 85/15 or 70/30… by definition you could never be right

[Stuart @_stumccann]

@RobNoLastName Not sure why I’m defending my awful UK situation, but if you include municipal fees, healthcare insurance and purchasing power parity, then this list changes a lot!

@BenBajarin Thank you. Helping me heading towards an answer

@firstadopter @BenBajarin The only lesson for leading nodes is that you must build ahead of demand. Goodbye, Intel, what a ride
