All in Starmer’s 2024 election manifesto. The Casey Commission set up by Starmer - all the donkey work already underway before ‘piggy back Burnham’ grabbed the premiership!

The PM could very well be dragged into the Manchester City fiasco. As he said ‘’Well, I would be really concerned to lose them. They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester.’’

important step but need not take too long. All that is known about the various PR options been well rehearsed for decades. Blair, for example set up the Roy Jenkins Commission in 1997 and other reports have followed since with even a voting reform referendum in 2011. blogs.ucl.ac.uk/constitution...

Been reading, that the late Alistair Darling when Chancellor and Burnham was a Minister he reportedly described him as behaving "like a lorry on ice’’ Reason-Burnham’s thinking and policy positions tended to "swerve around all the time’’ Well, he is now PM - time will tell!

Take a read - the people and groupings behind Burnham. Can’t change much between now and next election - timespan too short. So let’s see what the PMs promised 10 year plan will contain www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Labour’s last chance? The people shaping Andy Burnham’s grand plans for Britain

The long read: The new prime minister has declared he wants to end 40 years of neoliberalism. But is he really prepared to be that radical?

So Burnham is at it again! Announcing he’s going to initiate major vocational education reforms in England - of course all the work and planning of the Starmer government - introducing new V Levels for post-16 students and planning new vocational GCSEs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Notice Labour is lauding launch of community power project - well all thanks to Keir Starmer’s government of course. Nothing to do with Burnham 8 weeks old premiership! Starmer's Labour government planned and had officially launched a £30m investment in community power.

A Starmer initiative. During the 2024 general election campaign, Sir Keir Starmer promised to establish 80 fast-track specialist rape courts to tackle massive backlogs and support victims. Burnham is so lucky that all the spadework was done by Starmer’s government. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Would it surprise you that it was Keir Starmer’s government that planned the creation of the National Taskforce for Tackling Misogyny as part of the broader, long-term strategy to fulfill its 2024 manifesto pledge to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) within a decade.

Well, well, so the last month of Keir Starmer’s premiership ended with stronger than forecast growth. New data from the ONS shows the UK economy expanded by 0.4% in July alone, smashing forecasts that the economy would stagnate during the month. That follows growth of 0.3% in June 2026.

So as Burnham is just into his 2nd month as PM - here the record of Starmer’s government handed over to him. 62 of 92 pledges in the 2024 manifesto have either been completed, on track or in progress Nit bad after just 2 years. Lucky boy Burnham fullfact.org/government-t...

Yesterday Chancellor, Healey, sent out an email containing this: "And because Labour has taken the choices needed over the last two years, the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 in the first half of 2026’’ Remarkable by man who resigned just to get rid of Starmer!

Has our new PM got anything to say over the Dover/Portsmouth protests. Masked men, violence towards the police, public disorder? Well in 2024 during the summer riots Starmer was decisive.

Chancellor Healey announces £150m investment plan for the North of England. It’s not new money - Starmer government had set aside monies within the British Business Bank's existing budget and its long-term spending plans. What is new is its specific deployment in the North.

It is quite remarkable how Andy Burnham so often refers to achievements of Starmer’s government and practically claim them as his own. Disingenuous - lacking candor and total honesty. x.com/gwynoro/stat... x.com/gwynoro/stat...

This is exactly right. Starmer’s final word at his last PMQ was ‘goodbye’ - his intention was clear. After all why should he hang around with few hundred Labour MPs and cabinet colleagues who assassinated him.

No surprise Keir Starmer is leaving House of Commons now. Reminder, at end of his last PMQ final word he uttered was ‘goodbye’. I said then he’s leaving. After all why should he hang around sitting with host of Labour MPs/cabinet colleagues who assassinated him.

I read Burnham’s government is investing £110m to urgently build new prison cells. Not new investment, rather using monies announced by Starmers’s government 2025 spending review. 7bn capital monies was allocated for 2024‑25 to 2029‑30. to create 14,000 prison places by 2031.

This is going to be interesting. Watch this unfold. Apparently Healey will shelve his own target of spending 3% of Britain’s GDP on defence by 2030 when he presents his first budget in October.Remember he resigned as defence secretary in June over this very issue. Back then June he was very critical

John Healey admits - ‘’Labour government has been a government of change for the last two years. We now step that up with Andy Burnham as leader. We're a continuity of a Labour government with a change of leader." - so was it all just about ambitions of Burnham and his coterie.

Full Fact identified 94 key pledges in Starmer’s 2024 manifesto. 43 of them achieved or on track, 21 already in progress. A few not happening but 14 decisions pending. So 64 are already well underway and 14 where decisions are pending. fullfact.org/government-t... fullfact.org/government-t...
