Funny how the nasty bstsrds are now positively responding to a good news message put out by the Home Office. Previously they were sneering and piling on the pressure.

When far right activists are singing the praises of Burnham, you have to ask what the hell has been going on?

Why would the Telegraph and Tim Shipman in the Spectator be puffing up the Labour government like this? 🤔

@ceremonialgeek.substack.com 👀 I saw this and thought of you.

Oof from Darren Jones. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

I think this just about sums it up.

Hardlines Bluesky Burnham boys

Lol. There’s not an indignity too low for the Burnham boys.

Reform are terrified of a bin

Surely the point of Burnham’s coup was to put in someone better with a more effective team? 🤔

Capiche?

Young families in London, this is your life now

I did see on Twitter that a FOI on this matter had been stalled

Not coming to Bluesky though.

I know how important it is for many of you here that the govt leave Twitter, so you need to know Andy Burnham isn’t leaving Twitter soon, in fact it’ll be one of his most important campaigning platforms.

This to me this is frightening. 31% of white voters prepared to vote far right. You cannot isolate this. People need to be drawn back to decency.

Don’t think I could listen, I might die of cringe 😬

The FT are definitely there. They and their journalists tweet regularly.

I think Farage has had it and I don’t fancy his chances in a by election. (Fingers crossed)

Absolutely right Jess. Maybe you or another woman could stand against Burnham and have a proper contest around the issue rather than pleading for his attention?

Rather frightening that she has influence over British politics

Not sure Burnham’s the man though

The group hug. A real loss and real fears. Burnham’s puny populism doesn’t inspire confidence.

👀 ooh look, maybe I’m wrong and there will be a contest

What on earth is Reeves thinking?

The surest sign I’ve seen yet that there will be a coronation and no contest.

You’re probably right. I think the key to understanding what sort of PM would be is here. He doesn’t want to govern the UK, he doesn’t even really want to govern England. Any Labour MP or cllr outside the north & midlands would be on their own. There’s probably a lot of trading going on already

I wish it wasn’t true but I fear it is.

Saw a lot of peeps salivating over fascist adjacent Georgia Meloni standing up to Trump. Yeah it tasted good for 5 minutes. This is why we can’t pull these cheap tricks. Grow up
