This interview on @bbcnewsnight with @vicderbyshire is an absolute car crash for Andy Burnham. All over the place. No clue about 'fiscal rules', tetchy, unable to answer basic questions. Why do some people see him as the Messiah who can save Labour?
Andy Burnham is talking about Makerfield like it's been let down by consecutive MPs.
Makerfield has been in Labour hands for 43 years
What does that tell you about Burnham.
Party before country
Self before party
THEY HAVE A LABOUR MP
Get Labour out 💥
The woman speaks for the entire country right now. An absolutely glorious rant against Keir Starmer. And she signs off in the most quintessentially British way.
No, David Lammy.
I don’t care about the ethnicity of judges.
I want the law to be blind.
You’re the one obsessed by the ethnicity of judges.
Do you stand by your comments about Sir Martin Moore-Bick?
Unlikely he will admit that the anger was caused by his cabinet's appalling incompetence, and the two-tier policing they imposed
Nothing good will happen till he's gone
Out of all the cabinet Phillipson is the most spiteful IMO.
Going after schoolchildren midway through the term and taxing education was nothing but damn right nasty.
The beginning of AJP Taylor’s ‘English History 1914–1945’ famously ‘goes hard’, as the internet puts it, but part of its brilliance is surely that it was written (or rather edited) to fit a single page.
Sainsbury's has cracked the climate. Brown eggs are out, white eggs are in, because the white ones come with a 12.7% smaller carbon footprint.
The hens that lay white eggs are a bit smaller and eat slightly less feed. That is the whole breakthrough. Not less eggs, not fewer hens, not one cow spared. A marginally lighter chicken.
This is what corporate net zero has been reduced to. A grocer that pledged a billion pounds and sponsored COP26 now hunting carbon savings in the colour of an eggshell, while telling you it is "better for the environment and the hens." The planet is saved one paler breakfast at a time.
The same chain vacuum-packed its mince into mush for the climate. Now it wants applause for changing the shell colour of an egg that tastes, by its own admission, exactly the same.
A cow on a hill turns grass no human can eat into food, on land that grows nothing else. That is real, ancient, irreplaceable efficiency. Sainsbury's looked at the entire food system and decided the frontier of planetary salvation was a whiter egg.
Somewhere a marketing department is very proud. The hen has no idea it is on a mission.
