A year ago this week, Andy Burnham told a Labour Conference event that ‘PR is an idea whose time has come.’ Now, as Prime Minister, he has kickstarted the process to deliver it. A huge moment for everyone who believes in fair votes! Time is running out on First Past the Post.

Whatever the details behind the proposals, Burnham’s approach to politics is the right one. He’s not chasing votes, he has a plan and he’ll put it to the voters to back it or not. Recent decades have featured politicians following the popular vote not leading the country to better times. Good.

Farage is pure evil where it concerns stirring up hatred and division in the U.K. We don't need him doing this to us.

True to form, we can always rely on Farage to undermine any State or criminal issue no matter how serious or complex they may be. Proving yet again that he is not a responsible politician but merely a chancer out to promote his own game.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Annabelle Sanderson on ex- Nigel Farage: “He doesn’t have the temperament, morals or intellectual capacity to be prime minister…doesn’t do detail. It’s all..slogans and playing to the lowest common denominator. He hardly turns up to Parliament but..wants to run the place; he wants his ego stroked”.

An inconvenient truth for the racists and xenophobes. Low birth rate in the UK inevitably means fewer young supporting ever more older people. Immigration brings in young people and eases the problem. Without it, everyone must work longer.

Thank you for this, @privateeyenews.bsky.social Farage needs ridiculing far more. It’s a form of scrutiny he can’t cope with and one he so richly - yes pun intended - deserves.

TV HIGHLIGHTS
72 Up
The award-winning documentary series continues, charting the progress of one posh little boy, Nigel, over the years.
The last time we saw him was over a week ago in 36
Up when he had been given £36 million out of the blue.
In the latest instalment Nigel is given another £36 million, making the total donation a jaw-dropping £72 million.
This is a life changing moment for the former prep school boy who was recorded in the first episode singing the Horst Wessel song and coming up with charming but embarrassing comments about admiring Hitler.
As the clock moves forward
to 72 Up, viewers now see a completely different Nigel from the one we have come to know so well over the years
- from Europe-hating MEP to Brexit-promoting campaigner to the triumphant bin-defeating statesman of today. It's been a roller-coaster ride for Nigel
- and indeed the viewer - and this remarkable series ends with a poignant and moving climax in a Clacton oyster bar, where the older but no wiser Nigel faces the prospect of being Prime Minister and/or going to jail after criminal proceedings.
EYE VERDICT: "Boring, boring, Boring! Nothing to see here
- put a sock in it, love."

(Insert photo of him slurping up oysters)

Tory’s have been banging on about benefits for 50 yrs. They create an imaginary problem that stokes up support for a vote winner,then when they get in nothing much changes and welfare either rises or stays the same. In the last 50 years welfare has fluctuated from 10-14% of GDP it’s currently 10.7%.

Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was. RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.

‘Protests’ which lead, or have led, to closure of an RNLI station and intimidation of rescue volunteers are acts of terrorism, aren’t they? Participants are behaving in a way designed to harm or even kill other human beings. There are laws against this. Aren’t there?

On a positive note, it’s quite heartening that so many crypto billionaires are so concerned about the plight of the man in the street that they’ll donate fabulous sums to a party run by millionaires so that they can get into power and distribute nation’s wealth as evenly as possible. Isn’t it? 🧐
