"Politics is not a legal brief - it is the handling of people who cannot be cross-examined into agreement, and it rewards a feel for the room that no amount of preparation can supply. A prosecutor can win without being loved. A prime minister in the long term cannot." Me for @ZeteoUK on why Starmer's time in office ultimately came to an end.

@ElwinWay What are you on about m8. Parties target demographics that traditionally vote elsewhere all the time

I find the concept of Burnham 'winning *back* Green votes' quite revelaing. Like voting Green is a temporary state of affairs until normal resumes in the Labour Party, rather than The Greens being a party to vote for regardless of what Labour do.

Why would you run to lose just give the impression of a contest. Only an idiot would run in those circumstance.

@theideareview @JPMcQu @bmay Who told you that the public does not want Keir Starmer? The media. I am a member of the public as many others who wanted him to be PM.

My strong gut feeling is that the Labour Party is having a very excited, almost delirious conversation with itself that will completely fail to connect with the vast majority of the country beyond some parts of northern England.

@theideareview @anglofuturist No, because you could pay me £200k per year and tickle my scrotum every morning and I would still choose the centuries of infrastructure and cultural interest in London over living in Newport. Maybe we should build more housing in London and kick out zone 1-4 social tenants.

Predictable. His ambition was never decentralisation, but simply centralisation somewhere else. This isn’t what a PM for the whole of the UK would propose and it’s hard to see what benefits this would bring to places that are genuinely ‘left behind’.
Financial Times@FT

FT exclusive: Andy Burnham is looking to set up a 'Number 10 in the north', moving part of his prime ministerial operation to Manchester, in a radical attempt to shift power beyond Westminster ft.trib.al/RfP4Mfr

@theideareview @anglofuturist It's a grim shithole that no young or ambitious person would choose to move to. Very few young ambitious people are lined up to move to Newport and Wigan for government work because they are both shit places to live.

@anglofuturist I've only ever seen Newport on the train to elsewhere, but looks fine to me! Anyway, Newport isnt the only option

@ArchieHall What stuck out for me is that old video where he says his first overseas visit will be to Israel. New boss same as the old boss.

@anglofuturist He doesn't have mandate of any kind. I think he's already accepted that he can't do PR without going to the country first.

@t848m0 @dylan04gla @boyfailbstrivin @anglofuturist thdhmo, thats a good observation. But the tories have been banging on about a british bill of rights for more than 10 years now. Reason we told them to get lost was because we know it'd mean less/weakened rights in certain areas. AB can do a different (better) one.

@dylan04gla @boyfailbstrivin @anglofuturist I think the only chance you could stand it up is with a thumping referendum mandate, you need to embed it as a genuine social consensus - and that seems almost impossible to imagine for any likely constitution they’d propose.

@anglofuturist bunch of people quit because too much talent is concentrated in London - the problem we're addressing.

Now imagine if Burnham removed the whip from Keir Starmer and called his government 'morally bankrupt'.
