I just don’t thinks juries always get the “right” decision Juries were a good idea when the defendant and the community were connected Don’t see that modern juries are better at making the “right” decision than a judge Not sure barristers with their conflict of interest are best placed to comment

I see the Americans are moaning at just over $5 a gallon for petrol. Do they know ours is well over $10 a gallon. And we never even voted for Trump.

UKR: We’re hitting Russian oil refineries. RUS: In that case we’re going to aim missiles at your civilians. US: OMG. There must be an immediate ceasefire … that stops attacks on oil refineries.

The Beatrix Tapestry mock ups. I can understand the party young somethings having fun playing around at doing politics, BUT I wonder whether those supposed to be concerned about UK’s future shouldn’t rein in their youngsters. Spend a bit more time on real issues.

The slogan”Delivering Hope” is only selling the optimism that things can be done. It is like the Brexit con of “Just Believe”. That has not gone well. Starmer didn’t sell hope, but he delivered. Time for Burnham to “Show us the Money”. Start delivering.

It's as if Labour doesn't understand how hugely powerful the broadcast media is. Meanwhile the country's resistance to a far right takeover is paper thin. We need the Burnham government to fight the oligarchs, and starting with their mouthpieces, in broadcast and press, would be a good start.

I cannot understand the supposed logic that lineage determines nationality. For most people lineage has no bearing whatsoever on the development of their values. primary school, the neighbourhood, the secondary school, the radio, television, media, books and sport teams are more determinative

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Awaiting Burnham’s personal response, given that he already expressed views on the Man City matter. Presumably he will say that fair play is central to UK Football and money cannot make any club a special case, personally emphasising No 10 Statement

Straner and his Chancellor do not get sufficient credit for their economic achievements after the Tory disaster. A PM who delivered doing the hard yards, quietly and diligently But apparently it was not enough. Now everyone is rejoicing at Burnham’s soaring rhetoric which apparently is enough.

NEW: Burnham made a strong case for adult social care reform at conference, but pushed the National Care Service into next parliament I argue he should get on with it, use his majority and 2024 mandate and establish the NCS in this parliament 👇 www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/comm...

Andy Burnham should establish the National Care Service this parliament | Institute for Government

Two countries voted against making food a human right at the UN, Israel and the USA. The vote would have mandated the UN to prevent starvation, and the US and Israel didn't want to fund preventing starvation.

We had conviction and passion with Starmer and he was delivering and Burnham took that away by the back door. I’ll never apologise for not backing him or Labour and believe me my one little vote won’t make any difference if I don’t use it. Even when I do it’s ignored. So no I won’t wait and see.

Burnham is saying a lot of the right things, but talk is cheap. Keir Starmer was actually bringing us closer to the EU. If Burnham wins a Labour a second term and we later #RejoinEU, I will be the first to celebrate, but Starmer should be thanked for the groundwork that made it possible.

I am prepared to be persuaded. But it all sounds too populist for my liking. It’s like buy now, pay later. When things were moving forward, slowly but surely. Then we were told it just wasn’t fast enough. Yet nothing has speeded up with Burnham. In fact the opposite.

Everything that’s actually being done at the moment are Starmer’s policies. Burnham claims them but Starmer put them there. Perhaps you just weren’t paying attention. 70% of the manifesto enacted in 2 yrs of a 10 year plan. Now we have another 10 yr plan that won’t start for 3 years. Yeah. Great. 🙄
