@BethRigby In other news beth when it rains you get wet !! FFS revelatory interview my arse! This winter going to be difficult. A child could workout its going to be difficult this winter. Start asking him proper questions !!!!!!
@alexwickham@BethRigby Andy Burnham is a glue sniffer !! Hasn't a fucking clue about economics or fiscal strategy. We need a general election to get rid of this clown
I must have missed the part of Burnham’s speech where he explained how he was going to grow the economy and pay down the country’s crippling debt.
Why are people so easily pleased?
Energy price cap goes up 24% in January. People are going to be broke and poor.
Hope Again?
@EmmaforWycombe If only words spoke louder than actions but they don't Emma ! Britain needs to reduce its deficit quickly by cutting costs ! That's real action not inspiring words & lots of crying
@EmmaforWycombe Look Emma I can see it in the sky ! There it is !!! Look closer !! No closer Emma , can you see it ?? There it is !! A flying pig !!! Go on chase it !!!
@triffic_stuff_@RidgeandFrost Please don't confuse lucy Powell by asking her a question its very triggering for her & might lead to her moving towards an answer !! This could then create an impression of competency & lucy always looks for consistency of nonsense! Lucy likes time on her own ! It's important
@KanishkaNarayan Presumably your living in a different world like everyone in the labour movement! Look around you man & go talk to people in business & consumers, they know this country is in deep in debt & inflation is about to let rip . Previous aneamic growth is history.
@TorstenBell@ONS On other matters gilt yields went up during Burnham speech . His pronouncments on water, public ownership, care service will all cost billions & billions of pounds we don't have. More tax rises are inevitable which means even slower growth & interest rate rises then inflation
@PeterMcCormack with all the other government debt & gilts back on the rise we are entering very very scary scenario now . Unsecured credit also up !!! Are labour really deaf to all of this ??
@Mickuzbz@richie26188 The only God that you should be scared of are the markets ! They don't like your breakfast or lunch & dinner my friend. Gilt rates on the up again !
@hoopsa55@richie26188 I'll wave to you at the next general election which won't be long away. If you announce loads of new policies you need a mandate from public. He doesn't have that. It's either internal squabbles forever or an election quick ! Mark my words
@lewis_goodall None of these policies will get through the mad backbenchers! We all know this speech was political madness ! Also the fiscal backdrop now is horrific & getting worse daily
@BethRigby well Burnham has drawn the battle lines in this speech. I fear he doesn't quite get what battles he will now face internally. The paradox is obvious. A speech about external challenges will now be muddied with internal infighting. Lack of money & political agreement incoming
No mention by Angela Rayner in her 2,000 word speech to her conference of her target to build 1.5million new homes by 2029. Not a word. This is the nearest she got: "We overhauled planning rules to get the homes and infrastructure we need built." She did mention the Tolpuddle Martyrs though. Surely building new homes is the main job of the Housing secretary? Is this why?👇
