Burnham needs to stop teasing us with BrEntry. I’ve become to cynical to believe we could have good things in politics.

Andy Burnham will set out process to identify a replacement for the First Past the Post voting system as part of his platform for fixing politics, according to the Guardian Earlier this month almost 200 MPs supported an elections bill amendment calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform

Hearing Trump tell Americans that they’re twice as rich as they were because of him is funny. The lies are so absurd that they are pure satire.

The treatment of @rachelmillward.bsky.social — and I’m sure many other councillors — by the far-right is absolutely horrendous and could dissuade anyone wanting to work in local government. If the government doesn’t step in to stop social media companies pushing content then it’ll only get worse.

The MAGA US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle has blurted out how America interferes in European politics. At a private dinner in Athens in March 2026, Guilfoyle said of the collapse of the Romanian government: “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here”, the WSJ reports.

Channel 4 has been smashing it out the park recently. They’ve become what the BBC could’ve been. Not too late for the BBC to pivot and start putting out high quality investigative journalism again.

The smoking gun. Reform caught breaking electoral rules and flagrantly showing disregard for the electoral commission. Farage’s whataboutery on LBC is on another level. They’re done.

Reform turning critical journalists away from their conference basically sums them up. It’s so stupid and does them no favours. I suppose they’re relying on lots of voters simply not seeing what their policy platform actually is.

Burnham getting a chuckle out of MPs at PMQs and his style is a breath of fresh air. Parliament is set up for confrontation but it’d be nice if it could become a bit friendlier and more capable of cooperation. If our politicians act better then it might just trickle down.

Burnham needs to be brave. He’s been given one shot at this. I don’t like the Silicon Valley cliche but he does need to move fast and break things. The moment demands it.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has warned Andy Burnham “you can’t fix the country without fixing our broken politics”. He calls for a new Commission to "restore British democracy, which tackles systems of cronyism and corruption...gets big money out of politics & breaks the power of social media giants".

There’s a bold vision this government could adopt in turning the UK into the Green technology powerhouse of the world. Create high skilled jobs, work to combat the climate emergency, and fix our energy dependence. Will they do it? Probably not. That’s why the @greenparty.org.uk need to keep winning
