Absolutely hilarious how much this rattles him. Keep up the good work @nobelprize.org

Nothing highlights the progress Andy Burnham is making more than the right wing cheerleaders’ meltdown.

Serious enough for an actual punishment surely, rather than a token one.

A suspended fine is laughable. Imagine the set of circumstances that would have to align for him to even be able to commit an equivalent offence again in the future. ‘Xhaka on best behaviour throughout COVID-32.’

Totally agree. Makes little sense for You Gov to ask questions like that in isolation as well. Everyone is going to support a tax break with no context if they think they can benefit from it, but they can’t all come true without compromise elsewhere.

There needs to be a frank and honest conversation about tax in the UK in general. You cannot have everything all the time and pay nothing, ever. It literally doesn’t work.

I thought only Labour tax cuts had to be explicitly funded.

Incredible that @lewisgoodall.com is the only person willing to point this out loud. The Conservatives and their media allies still haven’t faced up to just how far Boris Johnson lowered the bar.

Most telling is that she felt the need to do that when she didn’t even get a mention in his speech.

There was people on this very app, amongst other places, in the past 48 hours, claiming Badenoch had hit her stride and was bringing the Conservative Party back as a serious force. Andy Burnham will be laughing his head off.

It’s utter lunacy is what it is. It’ll be wildly popular with around 1 in ten voters. The other 9 will be the ones that haven’t lost their minds.

It’s almost like if they really want to, they could do something about it at any time.

The opposition just doing and saying the opposite of what the government is doing purely for the sake of being contradictory has a very limited shelf life. Says a lot about how far the #Conservative party has fallen intellectually that they think this is somehow a winner. #ToryPartyConference

The area, like many others, is in recovery from the Reform surge. Will be interesting to see which way the numbers go for the next few years.

Burnham speech: An astonishing moment of radicalism and commitment
It’s easy to be cynical, but it would be false. Something extraordinary is happening here.

For how worried Zac is about becoming irrelevant, Andy Burnham and Labour must finally be on to something.

Hi Michael. The #Labour Party said ‘thanks, but no thanks.’

#Labour are treading carefully, and rightly so, but we’re rejoining the EU, lads and lasses. Great news. #RejoinEU

Write down the date. If #Labour and #Burnham play this right, we could be on to a winner here, Britain….

Yeah. So that was the best conference I have ever seen. I never dreamed I would see a prime minister with the bravery to do what he just did.

#EdMiliband going as far as any #ForeignSecretary on #Europe since goodness knows when. We really should check with the Europeans whether they have some sort of union we could join… #LabourConference

The main truth I’d like to hear is what the consequences are for politicians who take £5m bungs from overseas crypto donors with a vested interest in interfering with British politics.

We live in a world now where everybody wants more and more from the government but to be taxed less and less. And we have large sections of the media who actively encourage people to believe both are possible.

Well he tried to, if #Kuenssberg would have let him utter more than a sentence uninterrupted.

This is sadly indicative of current UK political media, where shills like #Kuenssberg are so obsessed by capturing a gotcha moment in an interview that they lose sight of everything else. #LabourConference2026

The incredible story here is that a man who doesn’t understand shapes and dimensions was elected to parliament by voters of #NorthWestLeicestershire FOUR times. Shame on us.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Surely Burnham can’t be expected to be providing a running commentary on every single issue, all the time? Just in case an article pops up about?!

Since he’s arrived, Man Utd have spent more time out of Europe actually.
