A winning formula

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The policies Andy Burnham is set to outline when he becomes PM on Monday

- Plans for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, a possible break from Labour's 2024 manifesto

- Lower bus fares, potentially through reinstating the £2 bus cap

- Public control of water and energy companies

- Lower energy bills through VAT cuts or by moving older wind and solar farms onto fixed-price contracts

- The biggest council house-building programme since the post-war era

- Social care reform through a cross-party consensus

Burnham will also spend the later part of next week at the new No 10 North in Manchester to symbolise his shift away from Westminster

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

Political capital now depreciates faster than ever.

Across Europe, leaders are facing the same pressures, from weak growth to rising defence spending and a state that too often cannot deliver.

These are arduous times for incumbents. Anyone who wants to govern should understand why.

Sorry but look at the ratios on every single one of your posts. Tony Blair is the canary in the coal mine.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Tony Blair might not like my plan, but he's wrong: it's changing Britain for the better.

Just want to add a big well done to Labour in Merton council @MertonLabour I think the only council where we gained seats in May? I stand to be corrected.

"We will continue to monitor the situation" is not a policy solution nor is it understanding and recognising the issues that we face. Once again we are sailing into a storm with no idea about how we navigate it.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

1/ The rise in the price cap because of a war we did not choose is deeply unwelcome news for households across the country.

We know people were under pressure before this crisis, and that’s why easing that burden is our number one priority.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

Keir Starmer should rip up Ed Miliband’s “unnecessary” net zero agenda, Tony Blair tells #TimesRadio.

“It’s not that I'm a climate denier, but it's just coming to terms with this reality.”
