The sense of relief I feel at Burnham’s approach to the failed Brexit is almost overwhelming. I hope and believe we will rejoin and that the vast majority of the U.K. will share that emotion. Let us hope he will see this through and reverse the disaster by rejoining. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Andy Burnham’s speech on Brexit and Europe could be historic, offering a chance to make the positive case for EU membership that was missed in 2016

People have all kinds of different needs. Some people will need long-term care, others will need it when navigating specific circumstances. The safety net is meant to be there to catch you when you need it. A civilised society should look after and support vulnerable people.

Nigel is a dead duck leader. He’s the least popular leader of all. Also 73% of Britons describe Nigel Farage as sleazy, this includes 40% of Reform voters. Is it time reform get a new leader? (source yougov)

"Time isn't on Mr Burnham's side, but a majority of the public - tired of the harm Brexit has caused our country - certainly will be." Great letter in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner. VAT cuts are nice, but reintegrating the UK with the EU is the real growth lever.

Burnham: Social Care is a huge challenge that demands a proper longterm solution. It can be done if parties work together. Most parties: PM is right and we'll work with him for a solution. Tories: PM is right and we'll work with him for a solution. BUT ONLY IF HE CAN DO IT FOR FREE. Grow TF up.

Interesting. It seems that successive Greek governments, and the EU, have done a lot more for their economy than 15 years of Tory rule here in UK. National debt rocketed under the Tories. Then we had Brexit. And debt rose again during the pandemic. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

It isn’t ours though Thatcher privatised the oil and gas industry and sold off the rights to extract to private companies, China, Abu Dhabi and Norway amongst others. They extract and dictate where the oil is sold. We just tax them, earning less and less as the oilfields become less productive.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

We need to be more than "ambitious". We've heard "ambitious" before, we've had summits before – this time it must be so much more. The economy is about to turn dire. The US is no longer a reliable ally. We need to begin the process of rejoining the EU asap.

Like all of the far right nationalist parties supported by the Kremlin and their obvious proxies, Farage is a fraud. Not a public servant. Not a patriot. Not a champion for the downtrodden. Not a representative of the common man. A blatant profiteering fraud. A corrupt puppet.
