£700,000 for Migrants. 18,000 Homeless in Manchester. That's the Burnham Method.

Andy Burnham is asking the voters of Makerfield to send him to Westminster. Before they do, they should know what he has been doing with their money in Manchester.

This week it emerged that Burnham's Greater Manchester Combined Authority is spending £722,685 on schemes to help migrants navigate the British welfare system. The Safe Transitions programme will provide guidance in multiple languages helping refugees understand their rights, entitlements and access to housing, benefits and public services. A Refugee Lodging Scheme will match refugees with resident landlords who will support them to access housing, benefits, employment, education and community networks. Greater Manchester already hosts more than 8,500 people in asylum support accommodation. More than 18,000 people across the region have no permanent address. One in every 61 people in Manchester alone is homeless. The £700,000 is not going to them.

This is not a one-off decision. It is the visible expression of a consistent set of political instincts that Burnham has spent years developing and is now quietly concealing ahead of June 18.

Since 2019 he has repeatedly called for the abolition of the No Recourse to Public Funds policy, the rule that prevents migrants from immediately accessing Britain's welfare state and social housing. He called for it on his mayoral website in 2019. He signed a joint letter demanding it in 2023. He launched a pilot programme in Manchester called the Living Income Campaign, designed to top up the incomes of those living under NRPF conditions and build the case for scrapping the rule nationally. He has now quietly dropped that position. Not because he has changed his mind. Because he is campaigning in Makerfield.

His allies have confirmed that as Prime Minister he would tear up the multi-billion pound Home Office contracts with private asylum accommodation providers and hand responsibility to local councils. Dispersal housing rather than hotels. The saving is real. Hotel rooms cost £145 per person per night against £23.25 for dispersal housing. But dispersal housing means more migrants placed directly into communities like Makerfield, Wigan and the surrounding boroughs, without the visibility of a hotel that can be identified and closed. The cost saving comes with a community cost that nobody is discussing.

Meanwhile Makerfield itself tells a different story to the one Burnham is presenting on the doorstep. The constituency sits within a region where Reform won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Around two thirds of the constituency voted Leave in 2016. The voters who went to Reform did so because they feel their communities have been transformed without consent, their housing lists lengthened, their public services stretched and their concerns dismissed. Burnham's answer to those concerns is to spend £700,000 helping more migrants access the same overstretched system.

The repositioning on NRPF is the tell. A politician who held a position for six years, built a pilot programme around it and signed letters demanding it nationally does not abandon it because he has been persuaded by the evidence. He abandons it because the polling in Makerfield made it electorally inconvenient. The same thing happened with his position on EU rejoining, held on Saturday and walked back by Sunday when his team realised around two thirds of the constituency voted Leave.

The voters of Makerfield are not being asked to elect a mayor. They are being asked to send a potential Prime Minister to Westminster. The £700,000 tells them more about what that Prime Minister would do than any doorstep conversation. It tells them what he does when nobody in Makerfield is watching.

"One in every 61 people in Manchester alone is homeless. The £700,000 is not going to them."

The SNP's message to Scottish taxpayers:

"Sorry about the waiting lists, ferries, potholes and failing public services... we're off to the World Cup."

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Since Andy Burnham wants to be the next Labour leader, here’s a reminder:

Andy accused victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs of trying to “propagandise” the issue.

He tried to block the grooming gangs inquiry in Manchester and nationally.

He claimed that Pakistani-Muslims grooming gangs are a “thing of the past” despite clear evidence that little girls are still being victimised to this day, including in his local area.

And what does he call the LITTLE GIRLS who were raped under his watch?

Not children.
Not little girls.

“Young women.”

Even on the most basic level, Burnham tried to shift the blame onto victims and refused to acknowledge that they were children.

Countless little girls were raped, exploited and even murdered by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, while powerful men like him turned a blind eye.

Andy Burnham belongs in prison, not Parliament.

And certainly not in 10 Downing Street.

You know you live in the UK when Keir Starmer politicises Adolescence, a fictional series where the culprit is white. However, he doesn’t want to bring politics into Henry Nowak, where the victim is white.

[Pete @PeteBritish]

I cannot recall a time in my 50+ years on this planet where the government of the day is so utterly and completely out of touch with public sentiment.

Who are intent on driving cultural division, and not cultural unity, whenever a culturally-significant event occurs.

Who alienate a huge portion of an aggrieved society as racists, far right or thugs.

Who seem hell bent on forcing an unwanted set of crackpot ideals upon us to make our lives smaller and less free.

Who appear to value non-native rights, freedoms and liberties over the native ones.

Who took a physical knee in servitude to leftist tropes but will not when public decency deserves it, even metaphorically.

Who are so totally bland, dull and without conviction.

Britain deserves way better. Britain deserves the respectful society it had before this globalist plot was hatched by Machiavelli players.

Ruud Gullit: "If winning the Champions League feels tough today, imagine how it was in my era. Only the actual national champions could enter, it wasn't even a yearly tournament for most teams.

"The title 'Champions League' has lost its true meaning: now even the fourth-place team qualifies.

"Back then, lifting the trophy was a mission that took two seasons: first win your league, then face Europe's finest straight away.

"No group stages. No safety net. One mistake and you were out.

"You could meet a giant in the very first round… and a single loss ended everything."

So hang on, even though George Floyd was nothing to do with Britain, left-wing politicians used his death to push for changes here.

But Nigel Farage talking about Henry Nowak, a Brit who died in Britain is “exploiting it and fuelling division”?

One rule for them it seems.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Labour folk accusing @Nigel_Farage and Reform of exploiting Henry Nowak's murder for political gain really need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

Nicola Sturgeon faced heavy scrutiny over the weekend over her apparent blindness to that motorhome. Matters worsened when she and her husband somehow ended up trapped in Gordon Brown’s cave of eternal despair.

Spare a thought for the Scots. It can’t be easy.

What a week in Scottish politics. Now I know why in my opinion the SNP used political interference to make sure the court case against Murrell was pushed back till after the Scottish elections.

Now we don’t know what difference it would have made if any but the outcry and anger tells me it would have had a big bearing on the outcome of the election.

The point is we shouldn’t have political interference in our judicial process it should be independent of politics. It’s eroded democracy and trust in our institutions. How do we get this back it’s not going to be easy once you lose trust it takes a long time to earn it back. In my opinion this needs to happen for starters.

1/ There needs to be a full independent investigation into the SNP political interference.
2/ Processes need to be implemented to make sure all institutions are completely transparent and independent.
3/ Parliament needs to tighten up its rules so there’s more accountability.
4/ Those involved in any political interference in the Murrell case must resign and held accountable.
5/ A full apology from the FM in parliament.
6/ The Lord Advocate should be truly independent from Government and not hold a position as a minister in government.
7/ The crown office should take another look at the file sent by police Scotland into Sturgeon and Beattie.

This in my opinion would make a good start in restoring trust in politics and our institutions. Please share and give you’re opinions thanks 🙏

All these cynics saying Sturgeon must have noticed top-of-the range coffee makers and designer handbags appearing out of thin air in her home: there are a hundred innocent explanations. She probably assumed the elves were pleased with her or something.
