Disgraceful. And yet another indication that the twin climate and ecological crises simply don't feature in any meaningful form on Burnham's radar.

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.

Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.

It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

Good question. Retaining the triple lock is clearly affordable, and the right thing to do given pensioner poverty and the relatively low level of the UK state pension. But we can expect equivocation from Burnham as he outsources policy-making to the bond markets.

Starmer's refusal to publish the report was a metaphor for a government more concerned about maintaining an irrational, opaque, unaccountable status quo than providing genuine national security. This is a small chink of light. But is Burnham prepared to abandon the Kafka playbook? I'm not so sure...

The optimistic thrust of this story (for Labour) is undermined by the recognition that there's a 'significant expectation that Burnham needed to deliver' against his promises. But we know he won't and can't. So, it's little more than wishful thinking. Just saying! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
