@theideareview @anglofuturist Take your pick Blair, brown, Cameron, may, Boris, Sunak, Starmer. All back the redistribution of wealth through the welfare state.

There is not an eye roll pronounced enough to summarise my reaction to this news. This is going to be a horrible few years.

@AndyBurnhamGM kemi never been one for telling the truth

@AndyBurnhamGM Are you going to bring water utilities back under public control, Andy?

@AndyBurnhamGM Why do you think you’re better than the 400+ @UKLabour MP’s currently serving the party ??

@BarryTaylorGB2 @anglofuturist and which government redistributed wealth again?
dont worry i'll wait
English
@theideareview @anglofuturist “Just redistribute wealth just one more time bro we promise it will work this time”

@GBooth74 @WilkieisBack66 nothing is rigged. if you can find an mp who has the required support and wants to run then good
English
All these news reports about Andy Burnham is going to do this, he is going to do that. The contest for leader has not even started properly, yet they are treating him like the PM. He literally only took the oath to be an MP 2 days ago. I cannot help but feel this is fixed.
English
@GBooth74 @BattlewalksSA whats he done thats hypocritical?
English
@BattlewalksSA Yeah, there is also a similar tweet from Burnham saying the same thing. Hypocrites the lot of them.
English
@Kordell43106375 @anglofuturist nobody did it punitively
English
@theideareview @anglofuturist It takes a profound arrogance to think you have the right to move talent and people around not on the basis of broader benefit but purely to be punitive to the talented people and places that attract them. No clear ideas and no good ideas are coming out of Burnham.

@loulouyoohoo you werent campaigning to change nomination rules before this were you? in fact the new rule changes were adopted under the leadership of one kier starmer

It’s not melodramatic to expect us to be the good guys..
It’s not melodramatic to expect us to be better than the tories..
I’m not a member of a cult, if you betray my values you’re going to hear about it & so is everyone else! You’ve turned a formidable ally into a dissenter!

no it doesnt. rishi putting a government office in his constituency is not the same as a new executive function to manchester
Ben Houchen@BenHouchen
This already exists. @RishiSunak created it in Darlington when Chancellor and expanded it when PM.The Govt are currently in the middle of building a dedicated building for tens of millions of pounds for this purpose and to accommodate the 1000 civil servants already working there
English
@Nickabilly1 its sunak who plonked the office somewhere random.
English
Reminds me of civil service days: sometimes a new regional head would be appointed, and suddenly lots of operations & meetings were moved to the office nearest to where s/he lived. No business case, these things seemed to just happen.
I dont think he can just do that, can he?

@DamianPudner “Magic money tree” over there of taxing billionaires who will have left the uk by time we introduce anything
English
I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. Twenty-five years in markets, years researching monetary policy, supply-side reform, countless articles and papers on growth, and Britain still prefers celebrity economics.

Gary Stevenson set to be appointed as an 'Economic Adviser' in a new Andy Burnham administration.
English
@m9QD6L4IgW @peterrhague nah, you're actually moving away from the place that labour and space are most expensive. Do it well and you'll actually save money
English
I don’t think Burnham should move government functions up to Manchester. We should follow the Japanese example and create a new capital city called Donlon.
English
@cusackandrew You misunderstand what 'actual substance' is
English
Gimmicks like this are a telltale sign of having no actual substance to offer.

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

@Wilkism_ @Chronomaly06 Burnham 2026-2036
(possible coalition 2028-2033)
English
@Chronomaly06 Ooh that's actually quite possible!
Hopefully the Lib Dems start to lock in and work on their popularity so then they have enough seats to support Labour🙏
English
My predictions for the future:
Burnham (Lab) 2026-2029
Farage (Ref-Con) 2029-2032
Jenrick/Tice (Ref-Con) 2032-2034
English
Excellent. While we're at it - let's move Parliament to the NEC while we renovate the building.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham will create a "No 10 in the North" that will move parts of the Downing Street operation to Manchester [@FT]

people dont get burnham just lack political instinct and it isnt their fault.
Hamza Yusuf@Hamza_a96
I really don't understand the cynicism around Andy Burnham. It's quite clear he represents a clean break and is going to meaningfully change things. And that's why he's already hiring Blairite lobbyists who used to run Labour Friends of Israel. Change is coming!
