It’s only worth rejoining the EU if we have Schengen and €, otherwise it’s pointless.

Owen Jones sees Burnham nicking a few ideas from the left and thinks that means the left has won. Pull the other one. Ideas aren’t proven right because politicians use them. Show me they work, show me the cost, and show me who’s paying for it.

The idea that a National Care Service is “fundamentally unworkable” because immigration is being tightened is lazy. If we need constant overseas recruitment just to keep social care running, maybe the bigger problem is pay, training,retention and the way the sector is run. #SocialCare #Immigration

1/8 I actually agree with quite a bit of Burnham’s speech. Britain needs to build things again, invest properly and sort out basic infrastructure. We’ve spent decades kicking problems down the road. #UKPolitics #AndyBurnham

The Chancellor could cut petrol & diesel prices by 12p a litre right now with our plan. But on the day diesel hits a new record? Nothing from John Healey in his speech. I’m really worried the government just doesn’t understand the scale of this crisis.

1/7 Cut it for commercial vehicles only. Vans and lorries aren’t burning diesel for a Sunday drive. They’re delivering the stuff we all buy. Taxing the fuel that moves everything around the country just feeds into higher prices. #FuelDuty #Diesel

Hoping the rumours of the suspects arrested at #Fairford aren’t true, because if they really did come over via the small boats, then the hostility will increase dramatically, and I highly doubt “The left” will be prepared for that. #UKPolitics

Burnham can start fixing social care now, but an NHS-style National Care Service can’t be built overnight. It needs legislation, funding, workforce reform and years of implementation. That’s why it needs to be in the next manifesto: clear commitment, clear funding and a clear mandate. #UKPolitics

Social care should work like the NHS. If you’re old, disabled or need care, you shouldn’t have to sell your house and burn through your savings before you get help. We all pay in. We should all be able to get care when we need it. It’s not rocket science. #NHS #SocialCare #Care

“You can’t be anti-racist and anti-immigration” is exactly the problem with this argument. Anti-racism means opposing racial discrimination. Immigration policy is about numbers, rules and capacity. Pretending they’re the same is just a lazy way to shut down debate. #Subpost

The Left don’t like me because I won’t toe their line. The Right hate me because I won’t toe theirs. The centre doesn’t trust me because I don’t play nice. I’ve got no political tribe. I look at reality, use experience and call bullshit when I see it. #UKPolitics

Labour’s housing masterplan: make it easier to borrow more for overpriced homes, push prices higher, then call it “help”. Brilliant way to make housing even less affordable while pretending you’ve fixed the problem. #UKPolitics

Gatwick and Heathrow are past their sell-by dates. Britain is wasting years debating runways at ageing airports while capacity constraints hold back trade, investment and growth. Build a modern, efficient airport for the next 50 years. #Heathrow #Gatwick #Growth

Heathrow’s third runway has been talked about since 2003. Twenty-three years of political cowardice, consultations and bureaucratic bullshit, and we still can’t build it. Then politicians wonder why Britain struggles to grow. #Heathrow

There are some genuine polling figures buried in here, but the analysis is hopelessly partisan. “Rejoin” being the biggest single option isn’t the same as a majority wanting it, and calling everyone who disagrees “far right” doesn’t make the argument any stronger.

Another poor UK harvest. Wheat yields are 13% below the 10-year average, with barley and oats also well down. Food security isn’t just having food in the shops today. Keep producing less and we become increasingly dependent on imports. #FoodSecurity #Farming www.itv.com/news/2026-09...

It may make him a martyr to his supporters, but that’s largely irrelevant. What matters is what they charge him with and whether they can prove it beyond reasonable doubt. He’s unlikely to be represented by a bog-standard solicitor. 1/2

The problem wasn’t that Europe couldn’t build electric vehicles. It was that too much of the industry was busy protecting the existing business model while China built the next one. I’ve spent 20+ years in logistics. You don’t ignore a technological shift and expect the market to wait for you.

I’ll offer the same advice I was repeatedly given. Work harder. Make yourself indispensable. Go and find another job. Funny how that advice suddenly sounds different when the thing replacing you isn’t another worker, but AI.

I’ve spent 20+ years in logistics.In the early 2000s,cheaper Eastern European labour replaced some of the work British drivers had done. AI is the same economic pressure from another direction,outsourcing replaces your labour with cheaper labour,AI replaces it with cheaper automation. #AI #Jobs

Britain is more diverse and millions of people get on perfectly well. But calling multiculturalism an unqualified success is too simplistic. The evidence on integration and social cohesion is mixed. Britain has achieved a lot, but pretending there are no problems is just as dishonest.

Oil workers aren’t more important as people. But let’s be blunt: they’re working in a strategically vital industry. Energy powers transport, industry and heating. TV doesn’t. Losing skilled offshore workers can weaken our energy resilience and skills base. That’s the difference.

Speed limiters sound great until you actually spend your life on the road. They remove driver judgement, make overtaking harder and can turn a safe manoeuvre into a dangerous one. Better driving comes from better drivers, not nannying electronics. #RoadSafety #Driving #SpeedLimiters #UK

Comparing Russia/Ukraine with Israel/Palestine is lazy thinking.Different histories, different conflicts, different actors and completely different circumstances.
