When Donald Trump agrees that PM Andy Burnham’s new oil drilling plan is a good idea, you know it’s time to rethink it.
Same interview, two different headlines. Which Andy Burnham do you like the sound of?

The former minister says there are still BIG gaps when it comes to voting reform, cryptocurrency donations and social media regulation. What do you want to see in the bill?
When some political parties rake in tens of millions while others get just a few thousand, is a £1 million donation cap actually enough to level the playing field? This is what you think of the proposal.
How did “the world’s scariest company” get its hands on a £330m NHS contract? NEW: Democracy for Sale’s latest investigation reveals the problems with Palantir’s NHS tech – and the unrivalled political access that fuelled the firm’s march into the British state. Link below 👇
Russia spent 18 months flying spy drones directly over European nuclear and military sites (including the UK's RAF Lakenheath) completely unchecked. It’s terrifying that a hostile state can just fly spy drones in our airspace without any repercussions.
🧡 yes: it 𝗶𝘀 emotional. 🎥 Channel 4’s How to Get Filthy Rich with Gary Stevenson is a must-watch on why many of our problems are rooted in the growing wealth gap. How to solve it? #TaxTheSuperRich.
Another heatwave. Another reminder that the climate crisis is happening right now. So why is the Government considering allowing a huge new gas field with emissions equal to 90% of Scotland’s annual total? The good news? It’s not approved yet. We still have a chance to stop it.
Is this the sort of company we want creeping further into our public sector? #Palantir
£45 BILLION. That’s the amount of £££ that our NHS will divert from essential services to pay for new American medicines, thanks to the UK-US trade deal agreed last December. And the result of that impact on essential services? Potentially hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. 👎👎👎👎👎👎
The Government is trying to strip emergency callout pay from our coastguard heroes! A court ruling found that Coastguard Rescue Officers are legally "workers" and deserve proper rights.
How many scandals will it take before he’s held accountable? Farage is already being investigated for the £5 million "gift" from crypto-billionaire Christopher Harborne. Now it’s come out that he also failed to declare multiple large donations from convicted criminal George Cottrell.
Have you seen any swifts yet this summer? It’s #SwiftAwarenessWeek and we want to give a BIG shoutout to the thousands of 38 Degrees supporters who are putting up anti-collision stickers and pushing the Government to make nesting bricks mandatory in all new homes.
Nigel Farage is facing fresh questions after it emerged he owns at least five properties worth around £4 million, but has only declared two of them to Parliament. The revelation comes while he's already under investigation over a £5 million donation received before the 2024 election.
How can someone with nine jobs possibly say that being an MP is their first priority? Being an MP should be a full-time job, and over 52,625 of us have already signed a petition saying so.
The King wants credit for paying £12.9 million in voluntary tax. But let’s be clear: The royal empire raked in a record £1.1 billion net profit last year, yet British taxpayers still had to hand the King £137.9 million through the Sovereign Grant. Are you giving him any credit?
Sorry Nigel, but if politicians take millions in political donations from a crypto billionaire, it’s always the public's business. Particularly if they then endorse policies that would massively benefit that donor.
Amazon UK: Makes a staggering £355 MILLION in profit. HMRC: Hands them a £7.6 MILLION tax credit. While ordinary people are squeezed by the cost of living crisis and public services are starved of cash, corporations like Amazon's main division in the UK are getting paid to be profitable.
Heart-breaking to hear British servicemen describe how atomic bomb tests left them and their children with serious lifelong health impacts. Last year Andy Burnham told Newsnight that these veterans were victims of an unacceptable cover-up.
Today the Palace will release King Charles' tax bill to look "transparent". But do you know what's better than voluntary gestures? A fair tax system where the broadest shoulders are legally required to pay their fair share.
South West Water pumped out parasite-infested water that made people sick in an outbreak that impacted around 17,000 homes and lasted over 50 days. Job well done? Apparently. Their big boss got a six-figure bonus.
