@CluelessTories @BenGrahamUK Not quite what you posted, but I’ll go with it
Burnham is never the answer
Just more borrowing/spending and 'fuck the rich' rhetoric
Yet clueless on fiscal realities or Fartage.

@DRJO1965 @BenGrahamUK Can't see beyond progressive alliance vs fascist alliance for next GE. Liebour can't win it on its own.
The big question is are they own like Reform, Restore and Tories - odd that its chasing red wall given the stiff competition for the racist vote from ConForm and Restore

Andy Burnham is already unveiling a 10 year plan for Britain before he's even become an MP.
First he has to win the Makerfield by-election.
Then he has to convince Labour MPs and members to make him leader.
Yet he's already talking as if he's in Downing Street.
This is fantasy politics.
Britain needs solutions to today's problems, not politicians mapping out a decade in power they may never get.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he is "not squeamish" about cutting welfare spending He says he wants to get more people into work through a ten-year plan which will also increase defence spending [@thetimes]

ECMWF's model has been producing a lot of scenarios like this one for some time the week after this coming one.
The intense build of heat over western Europe gets drawn north-westward, sparing the UK the worst, akin to what happened in June 2022. The month before you-know-what.

@RichardBurgon The Law
Some of which you would agree with for the riots in N.I. recently:
- Aggravated Burglary
- Violent Disorder
- GBH with Intent
- Criminal Damage
If the Fartage mob should be held to account... why should this mob not?

The sentences handed to four young activists for taking direct action at an Israeli arms factory are completely disproportionate and wrong.
They've been sentenced for a "terrorist connection" they were never charged with.
A clear miscarriage of justice and dangerous precedent.

@CluelessTories @BenGrahamUK - Announcing a leadership challenge hinself, he'll look to a sacrifice to do that maybe
- winning a long, hard internal civil war against a potential five other challengers, plus Starmer perhaps
A very long, road to Labour PM + #10
Even if he wins Makerfield
Then lose in 2029

@BenGrahamUK Winning Makerfield is a given.

We may have to raise rates but we will be data dependent.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at next week's Federal Reserve FOMC meeting:
• A new Chair running his first meeting.
• The previous Chair sitting right alongside him at the table (very, very unusual).
• A divided committee going into the meeting.
• A complex macro landscape.
And all this in a central bank in deep need of reform and modernization.

@Petrie_JohnC @SydesJokes The term "RINO" has completely flipped under Trump
To my thought, RINO now means anyone who supports Trump, yet claims to be a Republican/GOP supporter
You cannot support Trump and be named as part of the Grand Old Party
Pure antithesis

@SydesJokes MAGA is bringing the Republican party to its knees. They either stand against MAGA or become irrelevant. #MAGA #Epsteinfiles

@tribunemagazine Very well described, as you say we are given no details as to what the extra spending would achieve, or why it is necessary other than vague mentions of a Russian threat.
The big tell is that the voices were very quiet when Mrs May let the budget drop below 2% of GDP.

Excellent summary of the mainstream Labour critique of the blank cheque the military political complex are demanding. As I told the BBC and Sky - a country has to be worth fighting for.
