It's such a nice change to read about an optimistic outlook

One interesting consequence of Burnham’s truth-telling today on Brexit, and plan to set out what I hope will be a path to rejoin, is that Farage will be forced back onto what is now - funnily enough - his least favourite subject. Let’s see him defend his inheritance in detail.

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Mark Butcher is Reform UK's candidate in Claremont, Blackpool, standing tomorrow. He's seen here with a group intimidating a council worker taking flags down. A worker, just doing his job. That's him climbing the ladder. Just think how a he would treat council staff if he was a councillor.

The morning after. The fact is we are now in a national argument. Gone are the years of Labour just conceding contested ground; winning power but losing the argument; governing for party over country. If the centre-left loses it will now be after a proper fight.

Interestingly, a snap poll in Tory as you like The Times has 67% of readers in favour of a National Care Service. Well done Andy

Has Burnham caught the wave when he senses the country or indeed the world is sick of the billious anger and two bit solutions from the likes of Farage and Trump?

Off to watch Burnham's conference speech. Hope it has style and substance. Horrible to see Reform leading an opinion poll today. Blark!

Farage, needless to say, is scum. He has no evidence about who was behind Fairford let alone if they came over in boats. He should keep his big gob closed and let the police do their work.

Why Burnham is leagues ahead of many politicians is how he questions the assumptions behind journalists questions, which they struggle to deal with, mostly because it's received wisdom

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Right fuck this. I have reported Danny Tommo’s YouTube video and I implore others to do the same. They are platforming a man who live streamed himself essentially committing a crime and he will be making money off of it as well. Please please report the video www.youtube.com/live/lkeZbk8...

The Guardian joins the campaign to abolish the state pension triple-lock. Portrays it as a old v young, social security v defence spending issue. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich, maldistribution of wealth, low govt spend on state pension, how future retirees will survive.

The issue cannot be avoided any longer. Andy Burnham and his chancellor must face the fear of a pensioner backlash, and find a fair solution, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

My favourite bit of this story isn't the dancing, or the energy of Britain's Most Divorced Man, or even the suit/snort combo. No. It's that he tried to get in without paying by telling the bouncer he didn't have to hand over £5 because "I'm the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster"
