Andy Burnham is set to unveil a 10 year plan on Monday, that includes tax raids on middle class Southerners to fund devolution to the North
The proposals involve a new property tax on valuable homes an increase in capital gains tax and a death tax by overturning rules ending capital gains liability at death
Allies have also floated an annual 0.48 per cent tax on all homes averaging £1824 in the South East and £2660 in London to redistribute revenue
Critics are already arguing that he has no mandate to do this and calls for a general election asap

Thoughts?
How on earth can he do all of this without a mandate? I understand that the nation doesn’t vote for the PM but the nation voted for Labour MPs on the basis that Keir would be PM.
The nation voted for Labour on the basis of what they promised prior to the last GE.
This is completely unrecognisable from anything the country voted for. He needs to call a general election.
🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham officially announces "No 10 North" which will be based in Manchester
"But it will only be based here. The job of No 10 north will be to make power flow into the Midlands, into the South West, into the East of England, and yes, into London"
Looks like someone in Washington just updated the travel schedule.
"America First" has a way of becoming "Nigeria Next."
Soon we'll probably start hearing urgent calls for "democratization," "protecting democratic values," and "supporting civil society".
Just when you think you'll get a break from this intense heat, a 3rd major heatwave is on the way & forecasts suggest it may be even worse. #Spain could see temps of 46°C, #France 45°C & the #UK near 40°C again. This is the new climate & one we are dangerously underprepared for.
The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.
Microsoft whistleblower on the firms deep integration into the Zionist genocide:
After nearly two years as a Critical Environment Technician at a Microsoft Italy data center, I choose to resign. This is because, right now, Microsoft is massively expanding its European data centers (aka mass surveillance centers) to use Palestine as a laboratory for its experimental digital weaponry. For the past 994 days, Microsoft has powered the genocide of our people in Palestine, and the company’s European data centers are fundamental to how Microsoft abets crimes against humanity.
On August 6, 2025, reports exposed how Microsoft hosted 11,500 terabytes of intercepted Palestinian phone call data in the Microsoft Netherlands data center, with additional data stored in the Irish data center, amounting to 200 million hours of audio. This trove of mass surveillance data has been described as “one of the world’s largest and most intrusive collections of surveillance data over a single population group.”
This data is used by the Israeli military to identify targets for airstrikes, arrests, and blackmail from the entire Palestinian population. It is also used as training data to build AI-targeting programs. These programs invent arbitrary justifications to murder non-combatants, intentionally adding civilian workers to the Israeli military’s generated “target bank“; the programs also facilitate massacres of entire families at once.
How many players on this list were worth the money from the moves they made?
