Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hes take Starmer's credit and he has to take some of the blame. It's all part of the package he maneouvered for himself. As to the prision situation, the Tories created the problem and early release appears to be the only current solution, with all its imperfections. It must be better managed. 010

Aye right,he was the ‘political face’ of a policy championed by others,others done the groundwork,the hardwork to have it to a stage where it could be implemented. He implemented it and he took the credit. Sound familiar?? 183

Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Prime Minister Andy Burnham strongly supports a radical expansion of devolved powers, aiming to shift decision-making and funding away from Westminster and Whitehall to local communities... . . . . . . but not to Scotland 031
Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Let's hope his promises last longer than the one about lifting the alcohol ban in football stands. If Burnham is only building council houses, who's responsible for all the housing targets Councils are having to meet that include all kinds of new builds? 011
Reposted by Suzy BrewsterLaindonFeminist @viviane49.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I shall be listening to Burnham’s speech tomorrow. In the hope there may be something he actually can do in the next three years. I don’t want to wait until 2029/30 to see any progress. Especially when Keir managed nearly 70% of his manifesto in just two years. 4519

So hopefully that’ll teach Burnham not to shoot at the hip with populist nonsense. 108812
Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2026He said a lot about council houses. He didn't mention all the other houses he/Angela Rayner are inflicting on rural areas that don't want any growth in their postcodes. 100

Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I don't want any growth in my postcode. I pay council tax for no amenities and I'm happy to do so. Burnham and Rayner are building houses in the Green Belt and they're not social/council houses. Meanwhile, Labour pretend to care about climate change being detrimental to ecology. Utter hypocrisy. 1030
Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Burnham building council houses is fine BUT that's not what is happening. Large housing developments are being built on Green Belt land and little of it is council/social housing. 051

Suzy Brewster @suzybrew.bsky.social · 18/09/2026For those of us who live in rural areas, Angela Rayner is a big mistake. By all means build more social housing. Pushing huge housing developments in rural areas, however, just proves that our economy depends on house building. Yes, I'm a Green Belt Nimby who backed Starmer. Labour's not for me now. 041
