This is exactly why Andy Burnham gives people hope. No empty theatrics, no manufactured outrage, just decency, purpose and a genuine belief that Britain can be better than this.
He understands that leadership is about giving people something to believe in again. 🌹
If you were born a man, you're a man. Use the men's.
If you were born a woman, you're a woman. Use the ladies'.
If you think you're non binary or some other fictional character, you're an insufferable, attention seeking twat. Use your doctor's surgery.
The UK government has announced plans to introduce 100 new walk-in mental health centres in banks and libraries across England.
It's part of a £343 million expansion of mental health services that will also include 69 dedicated mental health emergency departments.
In her new role as health secretary in Andy Burnham's government, Yvette Cooper says it is the "biggest redesign of mental health services probably for a generation" but as our data correspondent, Ciaran Jenkins, points out there have been no extra staff dedicated to the centres.

The next general election could be three years away.
With the Conservatives recruiting a neo-Nazi cultural advisor and Reform threatening to wage a naval war with France, I dread to think where we’ll be in 2029.
Life was so simple before the fascists emerged in 2016 wasn’t it?
What a smug fool @EmilyThornberry turns out to be. She knows perfectly well what men and women are but she's chosen to declare blind allegiance to a cult, and betray women as a consequence. No courage, no judgement, no sense.
Most lesbian & gay people are trans allies because we recognise the ways in which trans people are persecuted from our own experiences. We know the people holding transphobic views are also homophobic. We know if we let them get away with this we’ll be next.
We see who they are.
Now is not the time to be a bystander. With trans rights under attack as never before, we need to show our support for the trans community. Will you join us? https://t.co/mm59ObfK3P via @goodlawproject
All credit to Andy Burnham, just 3 weeks into the job and more than 100 mental health centres opening.
If only Starmer's government had thought of this.

It beggars belief that Kemi Badenoch would gift a plum job to a former neo-Nazi.
This speaks volumes about Badenoch's leadership and the state of the Conservative Party – getting more radical and more out of touch by the day.

Yesterday, the EHRC Code took effect, restricting which toilets people can use.
I backed EDM 240 calling it unworkable for all sides.
We must have a better, more civil, debate on how we resolve issues, with workable outcomes.
🗣️ 'No stone should be left unturned when we consider these horrific crimes'
Justice Minister, Jake Richards, confirms that Andy Burnham is looking into holding a public inquiry into the Jeffrey Epstein abuse scandal.

“I don’t want to put myself in danger by going into a men’s toilet.”
Trans women are also “at risk of harm from men”, says reality TV star Ella Morgan.
She also tells Jane and Fi that threats have worsened since the Supreme Court ruling.
Today, as new guidance comes into force from the EHRC, we've joined together as six councils to raise concerns about the impact on LGBTQI communities, especially trans+ people 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
We've written to @bphillipsonMP to call for urgent action.

So trans people are technically now banned from toilets, changing rooms etc in the UK, maybe,
but also not because that's clearly in violation of the human rights conventions the UK was instrumental in creating and confirmed and codified into law in 2003 and 2010,
This is the woman arrested in Covent Garden for stabbing 4 men with a scissors.
A White British woman not a woman wearing a Burka like the far right have said.
You are disingenuous to a large % of the electorate. I would not vote Reform but I will defend people’s right to vote for any party. Even the commie socialists!
