Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.
The Independent front page headline: 

Burnham edges Labour closer to rejoining EU
After Ed Miliband tells party conference Britain's future is at the heart of Europe, ministers say it is 'not if but how' prime minister will include Brexit reversal in next election manifestoThere is growing optimism that a way back into the EU could be put to voters at the next election after the prime minister and senior ministers made it clear they believe Brexit has been a failure at this year's party conference.
When The Independent asked Mr Burnham about whether Rejoin would be in Labour's next election manifesto on his recent trip to the UN in New York, he refused to rule it out - having said a year ago when he was
Manchester mayor that he believes the
UK should rejoin the EU.

Andy Burnham has already warned about the 'drift and division' in the decade since Brexit (Getty)

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage.

Brexit has always been an exercise in public prejudice enabling private interests. If that’s what feeds policy, it’s no wonder that what gets delivered is a shitshow. It’s muddle-headed by design because Brexiters don’t want to tell the truth about the deregulation hellscape they want from this.

Polls open in Clacton, where Farage spent more than £10,000 in byelection against Count Binface – UK politics live
The Reform UK leader resigned as the MP for Clacton at the start of July and forced a byelection Yesterday Michael Shanks, a UK energy minister, criticised John Swinney, the SNP Scottish first miniser, for trying to get Andy Burnham to lift a ban on the Chinese firm Ming Yang building a wind turbine factory in the Highlands. Today Stephen Gethins, energy minister in the Scottish government, defended his boss. In an interview on BBC Radio Scotland’s Breakfast programme, Gethins said: The first minister is right to ask about this. This is 1,500 jobs in the north of Scotland. It’s also an area that is being transformed by that move towards offshore renewables, Scotland continuing to contribute. It’s an area which is, in general terms, important for security. Scotland is contributing to European energy security, which is a concern across Europe when you speak to leaders there. Why should I be judged, today or in history in the future, by Sky News and their ilk? Why should they be the people that decide my fate when, as I repeat, I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m being judged as being guilty every single day by newspapers, broadcasters and elsewhere. Continue reading...

Ugh. Farage has done nothing for Clacton except humiliate it. His idiotic by-election is basically a massive tantrum at being scrutinised over his v dodgy finances. He’s unfit for public office. He just wants power. This is all a waste of everyone’s time. He’s a loser even if he wins. (iPaper)
Farage odds on to hold Clacton seat but nationwide poll backs Binface

Nigel Farage is expected to hold on to his Clacton Parliamentary seat with the odds placed at 1-100 following a boycott from the main political parties.

While most bookmakers have Far-age down to win 1-100, rather than the early 1-7 odds before his main opposition dropped out, the latest polling shows he would be beaten by Count Binface if the whole nation was voting.
Polling by More in Common shows that 37 percent of Britons would prefer to be represented by the self-professed "intergalactie space war-rior" dressed in a long silver cape and dustbin-shaped helmet, while 32 per cent would back Farage.
But the likely victory in Clacton has led Parage to believe he could
"replicate this level of support across Essex", with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's seat of North West Essex in his sights.
He told The Telegraph that Reform will "pump big resources" into Essex, suggesting that halfthe Shadow Cabinet - including the opposition leader - could lose their seats at the next election.
Badenoch recently said in a message to Clacton residents that they
"deserve better" than Farage, criti-cising the "needless election" and adding that he should "not be ex-empt" from the Parliamentary rules.
His decision to force a bv-election by standing down last month to hold a "people versus the establishment" vote may have backfired. The opposition branded it a
"media cireus" and an attempt to evade scrutiny, as stepping down as an MP paused an investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog into his finances.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, had been investigating undeclared donations, including a £5m gift from Thai-based cryptocurrency billionaire Harborne.

That investigation was paused when Farage resigned his seat, but will resume if he wins the by-election.
If the Parliamentary watchdog rules against him, he could face a second by-election - this time, against all the major political parties.
