Date idea: Doing literally anything else

Asked by a Telegraph journalist to give Keir Starmer and the Labour Government a score out of ten so far, Andy Burnham says he's had a lot of "perfectly innocent questions" like that from the Telegraph lately, declines to give a score, but adds there are "lots of good things going on""

Speaking at a fringe event at Tory conference, Andy Burnham says Manchester was the place for “24 hour party people until Downing Street took that crown off us during the pandemic”

Overheard lots of Tories sad at how dead the conference is this year. “There’s not even protests, that’s how bad it is. I saw one protestor but it’s not the same”

Not very Bluesky, but if you're at Tory conference and have an event I should be covering or fancy a coffee, hit me up

Strongly disagree. He's offering analysis of how badly they're doing, having studied the data. Nothing biased in that
