I didn’t even know Burnham supported giving all migrants day 1 benefits and access to social housing. Insane.

We are supposed to believe his exile to Manchester led to ‘serious thinking’ and development.

On the train to Makerfield took the time to set out some thoughts on Tony Blair’s essay, focusing on inequality, tech and values. (1/16) 🧵

My 2023 blog on why I tried so hard to cancel HS2 in Jan 2020. It was a clear disaster and the 'evidence' presented by Cabinet Office/DfT was clearly fraudulent. If you tried to do this in business you'd be jailed.

You can see the original chart below with Ben Warner's 'this is bullshit' scribbled on it in the Cabinet room when they presented.

You can see the smooth exponential which predicts the need for HS3 then HS4 - everyone in yookay either riding on them or building them!

This is how CON-LAB burn your money - and when the Trolley went ahead with it, Labour and Whitehall and FT etc all cheered.

Trebles all round for 'the serious grownups'

@RachelReevesMP: "British businesses can and lead the world. But they have been held back by the chaos and instability of this government... If you, like me, believe that it is time to put security first and reject the risk of five more years of chaos and decline, then join us.

May 27, 2024 Keir Starmer speech: Country First, Party Second:

"The need to never put working people through the whirlwind of chaos, the rising taxes, rising prices, rising mortgage costs. The price working people have paid for their chaos, it’s unforgivable".

[Nic Conner @nic_conner]

"I see no fight in the Prime Minister. They will not change. Seriously – whenever he is confronted by factions in his party, people who are miles away from serving the values of the British people, he caves in – every time. A ‘party-first’ weakness at the heart of his leadership"

(2/2) "A vote for Labour is a vote for stability – economic and political. A politics that treads more lightly on all our lives. A vote to stop the chaos".

@Keir_Starmer said it in 2024: "...we will stop the chaos. Look around our country. The sewage in our rivers. People waiting on trolleys in A&E. Crime virtually unpunished. Mortgages and food prices – through the roof. It’s a direct result of the Tory chaos in Westminster". (1/2)

As @AnasSarwar said 2024 was the start of a seismic shift

@darrenpjones made an interesting point.

@JohnJCrace - love reading back

There were complaints on the right about the failure of Paul Davies to be elected Llywydd, and that it showed evidence of a cosy consensus

But how that played out raises early interesting questions about the relationship between the Tories' and Reform

Minister gose on R4 and asked if Wes Streeting is still the heath secretary. His reply: "I don't know". The government is in free full.

Labour: it's not us, it's you.

[Rhys Williams﮷ @RhysWilliamsTV]

A strange exchange this morning with one of Labour's nine remaining members of the Senedd.

Mike Hedges refused to stop to talk to @itvnews and instead appeared to blame the media for last week's election result.
