Britain's right-wing press mostly read by right-wing pensioners try to define Burnham on the triple-lock, pensions & social care. Burnham has a fight on his hands against a perspective which has already inflicted huge harm on the UK: older r/w nostalgic views of Britain.

The BBC’s Ratcliffe interview is shocking. He’s allowed to spout unchallenged nonsense about politics, economics and energy. Ratcliffe is worth listening to because he represents an emboldened and retrograde section of Britain’s ruling class 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

It is extremely important that Labour understands that the movement of voters between Lab and Ref was not the crucial factor, it was consolidation of the anti-Ref vote and Lab voters turning out in droves. Otherwise Burnham will make the same mistakes as Starmer in targeting only one set of voters.
