Interesting. #Polymarket bets on failing banks. Who would do that? Several guesses: Russia or more likely the crypto cronies of #Trump & #Farage who both ideologically & financially have stake in bringing down banks @thenewsagents.co.uk @peston.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social @theguardian.com

#Burnham not the messiah. He has ruled out rejoining EU. He has ruled out PR. He has ruled out borrowing more. He has ruled out higher taxes. He has ruled out changing immigration rules. What about ending profiteering by vets, dentists, banks, water, energy companies? He won't change anything.

I’ve signed a letter calling for Andy Burnham to clarify his views on control or ownership of public services. Can you sign and share it as well? weownit.org.uk/act-now/sign...

Add your name to our open letter to Andy Burnham
Public control is not public ownership. Andy Burnham must clarify that he backs public ownership of life's essentials.
