Andrew Neil just delivered a BRUTAL reality check to Andy Burnham after that highly praised conference speech.
The praise has been wildly over the top. Some commentators parked their critical thinking because it suited their biases. Thankfully, as usual, Andrew Neil is not one of them.
On the latest @TheNeilReport, he pointed out what Burnham left out of all those lavish plans. The glaring omission: tax rises are coming.
As Neil put it: “It’s quite the socialist manifesto.”
Higher taxes are inevitable.
“In place of markets, privatisation, competition, Mr Burnham wants more state ownership, more state control, much bigger government and higher taxes. Of course he didn’t say higher taxes. Well, he wouldn’t, would he? But if you’re going to have bigger government and more state control and ownership, then there will have to be higher taxes. One follows the other.”
Prepare yourselves. He’s coming for your money to fund his socialist utopia.
Neil also noted that all the big-ticket items were for later. Next parliament. Next manifesto. Almost nothing for the here and now.
Nothing serious on defence or foreign policy. “He glossed over. Barely gave it the time of day.”
Nothing on the imminent “tough” winter or the fuel crisis.
Rising inflation. Rising interest rates. Rising youth unemployment. Rising costs of government borrowing. Nothing.
He finished with this warning: “Mr Burnham deserves his day in the sun. He should enjoy it, because it’s all about to get much darker, much more difficult. Reality is about to strike this winter. His 10-year plan is likely to be unravelling before spring has sprung.”
Puts a slightly different spin on things, doesn’t it 😂

To say I'm disgusted with the people running my country is the understatement of the millennium.
To say I'm flabbergasted at the blatant two-tier policing by our forces is far too tame.
To say that our courts and justice system is corrupt is completely obvious.
We are an utter laughing stock.
We only have one way out of this.
Aim high, vote Lowe.

🚨🇷🇴Romanian woman screams through tears during a protest over the arrest of Călin Georgescu.
This poor woman knows her beloved country is in danger and that the EU is an occupying force seeking to drag Romania into war and flood it with migrants.
She knows Călin Georgescu is the only man who can save Romania from collapse.

🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in Rotherham
“Someone was on their way to the park strapped with explosives - thankfully they blew up first”
This Story is insane & has been completely buried already.
Yesterday an explosion occurred - a Man Died & Body Parts were seen spewed across the road.
In 2026 attempted suicide bombings in English Parks wouldn’t actually surprise anyone.
