According to the BBC Andy Burnham refuses to rule out challenging Starmer for leadership
He should concentrate on Manchester (where he is doing a good job) rather than stirring up trouble for Labour

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.

It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.

Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

So not crewed entirely by little Englanders like Georgina Foster how upsetting for her

Proud to have been selected again as a Labour Party candidate for Hounslow South ward in next year’s council election 🌹 Delighted to do so with these two wonderful people: for the third time with Karen Smith, and for the first time with Scott Hill. Looking forward to an exciting campaign!

A great initiative- but our schools should not really need air filters we all deserve clean air

Isleworth councillors

Proud to be once again standing to represent #Isleworth alongside my fantastic colleagues Cllr Sue Sampson and Cllr John Stroud-Turp. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve Isleworth's residents these last years and we hope to continue working hard for our constituents.

Reform UK abandoning manifesto pledge of £90bn in tax cuts, deputy leader admits Richard Tice says party will concentrate on cutting civil service and scrapping net zero once in government

What a surprise- they abandon a made up policy totally devoid of any financial reality

To be fair it is their only actual policy- the rest is just useless chutney

The Tories are at war with themselves Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet is a cacophony of contradictions

Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet is a cacophony of contradictions

Lucy Powell tells Labour it can’t sugarcoat how badly things are going Frontrunner for deputy leadership addresses rally as opponent Bridget Phillipson pledges ‘second Labour term our children deserve’

A cheap appeal to the disaffected - not an act of unity

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Defecting out self interest, they know the Tory Party is in terminal decline

Has Kemi Badenoch sounded the death knell for one nation Conservatism? The Tory leader’s shift to the right has left its centrist wing wondering if its tradition still has a future

One nation Conservatives left the building about 10 years ago as the Party drifted further to the right

I guess buyer’s regret will soon set in for the good folk of Kent

Badenoch defends Jenrick over comments that he ‘did not see another white face’ in Birmingham – UK politics live Conservative leader suggests remarks in Guardian report could have been taken out of context and he was ‘making an observation’

I am sure I remember one of UKIPs claims was take back control of our borders- how did that work out?

You have to admire her ability to consistently make the wrong call - why don’t her advisors simply say ‘Kemi whatever you are thinking of doing or saying just do the opposite’

Absolutely- the lunatic right will go to Reform with the right of centre joining Davey on his paddle board

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Promo bar of chocolate saying "When Labour negotiates, Britian loses"

Another astonishing sign of incredible incompetence from the UK Conservatives. They can’t even get right the name of the country they want to represent.

Both decent candidates but we need unity- I will vote Bridget Phillipson

Let’s not forget what happened the last time the Tories took us out of European treaty…. Have they learnt nothing

Our generals serve the country, not an ex-Fox News clown looking for headlines.

Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act Tory leader says she would replace it with ‘cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate

For anyone still thinking the Tories are a seroius political party…..

This is a great achievement and shows what can be done if there is a will - never listen to the naysayers

Rather that stay in Parliament and take on the Tory Govt Burnham legged it - now he is sniping from the sidelines. His current meddling is both unhelpful and unwelcome

I still fail to understand why he is not under the media microscope- in a similar manner to Rayner
