Reposted by blunderballChaminda Jayanetti @cjayanetti.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I think the worst part of Labour's response to the fascist mobilisation is Andy Burnham's absence. He's the most popular politician in the country, with social media reach and actual powers of persuasion, and he's saying nothing in public. He can actually be of use here but he's choosing not to 451458421 1.5K

But frankly as with Starmer if it takes 24 hours and 3 goes to get an appropriately robust non caveated line - that’s a problem. It’s not how political comms should be working in 2026. And it says something about your values. 67110 71

Reposted by blunderballTom Roberts @tpgroberts.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Fundamentally, the reforms are bad policy: they leave people in limbo, they make retroactive changes to people's status, and they hurt the economy. Crucially, they are also bad politics, as they go significantly further than voters want, and Labour voters, rightly, think they're cruel. 1338 33
