The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world

Body bags Burnham might just be revealing the bodies

[Felicity Campbell @feli_campbell]

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.

Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.

Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.

They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.

When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.

Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.

If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.

But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.

This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.

I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.

@Jones66K I know there’s a push to take Christ out of Christmas, but it seems also a push to take the pagan winter/lights celebration from it as well

Despite having more ex-PMs than ever, only one of them is in the Commons

They said Rishi Sunak would be straight off to California

Today he asked a question about parking at a local railway station

🚨 Breaking Athelstan News 🚨

Culture Sec @lisanandy has asked ceremonials minister @Steph_Peacock to organise a “fitting commemoration” for England’s 1,100 birthday

Tory @Rebecca_SPaul suggested “commemorative coins, stamps, special lessons in schools, Athelstan on Trafalgar Square’s 4th Plinth”

David Cameron, who led the Remain campaign is right here:

"I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit."

A curious year for Reigate Grammar School

Firstly, one of their old boys was booted out of No 10

Now, perhaps their most famous Reigatian - David Walliams - is mired in scandal

At least they still have John Healey flying the flag

And Romesh Ranganathan won Celebrity Traitors

A brutal analysis but fair in its conclusion.
As a 6 tour Northern Ireland Veteran myself, how anyone can think it’s remotely fair to potentially continue to prosecute soldiers after such long passages of time, and after previous investigations is beyond my comprehension.

Where is everybody?

[Jack Blackburn 🇺🇦 @HackBlackburn]

There are empty seats in the Commons. Energy is low. Andy Burnham’s #PMQs performances are not box office - he’ll be happy to have charmingly bored the Commons into submission.
