🚨 NEW: The No 10 lectern has been removed as Andy Burnham prepares to deliver his speech without one

The story apparently is …. “There I was minding my own business when suddenly and unexpectedly @joshsimonsmp resigned his seat. I was walking along and suddenly I had been nominated for the vacant seat … with hardly any campaigning I was elected with such a “national” mandate … that the PM felt he had to resign. At that stage … people said I had to stand as Leader … so of course I felt I should “respond” … but don’t worry everyone will love me …” ….

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham does not plan to wear a shirt and tie as Prime Minister unless he's in the Commons [@thetimes]

This is what being Mayor taught me about politics…





@soniasodha @LordWalney @DAaronovitch I am not going to use a third toilet for some bigot. It’s insane.





This is another reason why using the @EHRC as a political punch bag has to stop. It speaks only to naïveté or cynicism from politicians The EHRC doesn’t make the law

I’m delighted to appoint @HarrietHarman as my Adviser on Women and Girls. Harriet is a strong advocate for women and girls and I know she will deliver greater opportunity for women in public life. I’m committed to tackling structural misogyny that is a barrier for too many women and girls. I look forward to working with Harriet to drive forward action on this important issue.
