Andy Burnham’s passed from rising hope to Liz Truss without any intervening period whatsoever
Andy Burnham’s passed from rising hope to Liz Truss without any intervening period whatsoever – politicalbetting.com
Not me. The annual ‘Burnham wants to be leader’ headlines just before conference are more grating this year. He didn’t take on the guy who oversaw Labour’s worst defeat in a century & facilitated antisemitism, but pops up now under a huge majority & with 4 years to go?! No ta. https://t.co/hpNn8h6qnU

In 2027 the Europeans should be allowed to castrate every Yank player.
How interesting.
"Previous reports have detailed Glasman’s appearance at Trump’s second inauguration, and his appearances on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast. But, for the first time, Byline Times can reveal that he was tasked by Morgan McSweeney to make contacts and connections in the Trump administration. And, at first, he reported back almost daily to Number 10.
This newspaper can also reveal that, at the inauguration, Glasman met Peter Thiel – whose company, Palantir, was recently awarded a £1.5 billion contract with the Ministry of Defence as part of the US-UK ‘Tech Prosperity Deal’ announced by Donald Trump and Prime Minister at the recent state visit."

Kido told parents the breach happened when criminals accessed their data hosted by a software service called Famly.
"We have conducted a thorough investigation of the incident and can confirm that there has been no breach of Famly's security or infrastructure in any way

1 He's come across as arrogant and entitled
And
2 He's gone way too far to the left, allowing Starmer to frame him as a bond market Trussterfuck waiting to happen
He could still do it but this shows his lack of political skills, so maybe it's best for Labour that he HAS screwed it up, he could be even worse than Skyr

Still, I'm sure he'll have another go next year. In the meantime, Sir "he'll have to do because everyone else is worse"... will have to do.
"Nationalise everything" - why did he go and say that? Bonkers
I would now make Rayner the favourite again (unless she has more cupboard skeletons). She could be back within a year and she's much cannier, and faces no obstacles like Burnham
How very interesting again. A national data system. AI. A recent contract that spans healthcare, defence, policing and other public services
With a fleg.
I'm sure you have a rule about hypothetical polling
Is she going to become the latest fuker?
Which will probably be by the of tomorrow at this rate.
How much is that the merits of the plan (for which there is loads we don't know yet), and how much of it that, because the government are proposing it, it must be awful?
Discuss
In many ways it has a distinct resemblance to the old USSR in about 1978
For how many Party Leadership elections in a row has the Conservative Party voted for that same sentiment?
How does PB’s Liberal Economic right take down that sentiment?
BREAKING NEWS: House Republican leadership may not bring the House back AT ALL next week.
They think the ball is in the Senate's court. and they will return when they have a bill to pass.
@ProjectLincoln
Convenient this happens just as @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna have just secured their 218th signature on the petition to force the release of the Epstein files.
Surely they focus-grouped ID cards first, so they could propose them secure in the knowledge the idea is popular?
Now Starmer is tied to a dramatic policy that is opposed by a pluralilty of the public from the get-go, and which has innumerable potentially fatal problems as soon as you begin to analyse it, and which we all know will cost trillions and never work, because this is the British government
its exact same way if someone wants to stop being in hock to barclaycaed then they pay off their credit card

Greece, perhaps? But their economy is now doing notably better than ours
A rum do
What have I got wrong?
must be doing something right

I believe in balanced budgets and living within our means even if that’s unfashionable and none of the major parties share that belief
The employment is illegal and reputable employers check.
At the moment a tiny fraction of the scumbag employers get caught.
Hence my proposal to up the fines and give half to the person who gives evidence. Combine that with breaking the use of corporate shields to protect assets - see proceeds of crime. And indefinite leave to remain for the person giving evidence. If they need it.
I think he has entered the “everything he touches turns to sh*t” stage of his premiership.

1. Timing. Kicking SKS when he was down was bound to get people rallying round
2. Peter Kyle laughed at him. His belittling of Burnham was very effective By yesterday evening he was a laughing stock
3. The TV stations did their homework and declared him a 4 times loser
4. He chose to announce his intentions to the Telegraph. The paper most despised by lefties
I could go on but what's the point. He's a man without scruples or talent
There’s a lot of “what you like I will hate, who you will support I will oppose” going on right now. That’s not Christianity! 😠
I did try to help by lending them a vote but Alas
Either a terrible campaign or he is setting himself up as some kind of unofficial stalking horse, beyond the censure of the whips office, and actually isn't THAT interested in winning the prize himself.
Let's be honest, it's probably the former.
