Labour MPs are already talking about a rebellion if Burnham tries to get a grip on welfare spending.
In other words, they won't be happy until your taxes go up yet again, to pay for people who don't work.
New Prime Minister, same old Labour Party.
We just caught French authorities doing nothing to stop illegal immigrants - in fact they handed out life jackets and waved them a cheery goodbye.
Shabana Mahmood’s deal is not working.
The only thing stopping crossings is the weather

There were 45 completed/foiled terror attacks in Europe last year.
Islamists did 24
Right-wingers did 5
Arrests?
There were 486
71% were Islamists.
8% were right-wingers.
There is no equivalence.
The biggest threat facing Europe is Islamism — not “the far right”.
Wake up.

Pakistan has its own space programme, yet we send it £133 million a year in aid while shutting down Britain's largest space telescope because we “can't afford” a few million.
This telescope helped inspire generations of scientists.
If we keep cutting investment in our own scientific infrastructure while other nations push ahead, we'll only fall further behind.
I hope this decision is reversed. Britain should be investing in its future, not dismantling it.
Michael Shanks told the House categorically that ‘at no point did we come close to a breach’ of reserve standards on 23 June.
Leaked documents prove that NESO’s own initial assessment was that this DID happen.
Did he mislead the House?

Not a SINGLE Minister in the Energy Dept appears to have commercial or industry experience:
Miatta - civil servant/lefty think tank
Shanks - teacher
Mcluskey - charity/public sector
White - charity/Friends of the Earth
Billington - charity/eco-campaigner
Lord help us. 🤯
The Economist's editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes went to a private all-girls boarding school in Shropshire where fees run up to £45,000 per year (about $60,000).
She was born and raised in Shropshire, one of England's most affluent rural counties. She attacks @elonmusk saying he's wrong and the UK is thriving. Elon hits back that she lives a cloistered existence.
He's absolutely right. She's Oxford and Harvard educated. She doesn't live in the towns where migrant grooming gangs operate. She can't see the destruction from her ivory tower.
So many elites in this country and Europe are removed from the decay their leftist policies have brought. Good on @elonmusk for calling her out.
Why is the Government going to such absurd lengths to avoid publishing data on migrant crime?
What are they so afraid of? What are they trying to hide?
If there's no link between migration and crime, let's see it in the data. If there is a link, then people deserve to know.
I am no fan of Refom but every time the @timespolitics@guardian mentions Geroge Cottrell the prefix it with “convicted criminal.”. They must prefix Louie Haigh then with “convicted fraudster.” Not to do so is to show disdain for professional journalism.
A reminder, Andy, of the Thatcher era:
• Income tax: 83% → 40%
• Basic rate: 33% → 25%
• Inflation: 21.9% peak (1980) → 2.4% (1986)
• Days lost to strikes: 29.5 million (1979) → 1.9 million (1990)
• Real pay for the average earner: up by a third

The UK last built a public water reservoir in 1992.
The population has increased by over 10 million in the intervening years. Including a surge of immigration.
Now, the state has the cheek to announce a hosepipe ban. Why is that necessary?
Because no infrastructure has been built to cope with the expanding population.
It rained for the whole of January but not enough reservoirs to catch the water.
Our governments have been absolutely and unrelentingly crap. Short-termist.
Only interested in importing cheap labour. Not a care for the people who live here and want things to work as they do in a civilized country.
The next reservoir, in Havant, is not scheduled for completion till the early 2030s.
Prepare for more hosepipe bans and collapsing sewers.
Britain urgently needs an effective ruling class before we slide into a failed state.
Customer: "Oat milk, please. Trying to lower my footprint."
Barista: "Course. Happy with the rapeseed oil in it?"
Customer: "Rapeseed oil? In milk?"
Barista: "It's not milk. It's oats, water, and a good glug of seed oil for the creaminess."
Customer: "I avoid seed oils."
Barista: "You're about to wear a moustache of one."
Customer: "...Almond, then?"
Barista: "Lovely. How do you feel about draining California?"
Customer: "The soy?"
Barista: "Comes with a complimentary top-up of oestrogen. On the house."
Customer: "...Coconut?"
Barista: "Flown across an ocean, and more saturated fat than lard."
Customer: "What's the little carton at the back?"
Barista: "That one's just milk. Cow, field, grass, done. No factory, no solvent, no asterisk."
Customer: "And the footprint on that?"
Barista: "She made it out of rain. Yours is the taxi you took here to ask."
In December, I wrote to the Treasury and asked them for details of how much different migrant groups pay in tax, and how much they claim in benefits.
They just got back to me.
Apparently, they don't collect that information because it's of "limited value".
Good morning boys and girls. Friday morning, the sun is shining and I haven’t been arrested for not breaking the law. Thank you so much for all the support regarding my video of the police yesterday. Really appreciated. I’m off to get a coffee. I’ve put on clean boxer shorts today though, just in case I get arrested. Better safe than sorry. Cheers 🍻
‘Neo-liberalism’ and ‘trickle down’ are just buzz words of know nothing pontificators. They use them because they think it makes them sound smart. It doesn’t. And they are unbecoming someone about to become prime minister. We deserve deeper, more considered analysis.
This is Labour MP, @Jas_Athwal, he has declared 18 properties, including 15 residential rentals and 3 commercial properties, making him the MP with the largest declared property portfolio in the House of Commons.
So where's the outrage?
Where are the endless headlines?
Where are the cries of "conflict of interest"?
If owning multiple properties is suddenly a political scandal, then surely the same standard should apply to everyone, regardless of party.
You can't spend weeks hounding @Nigel_Farage over his property portfolio while turning a blind eye to @UKLabour MPs with substantial property interests of their own.
One rule for them, another for everyone else.
