OMFG!
Senator Merkley: "I want to go on to the Epstein investigation. Is it closed or open?"
Todd Blanche: "When you say the Epstein investigation, what are you referring to, Senator?"
Merkley: "Well, the FBI said in last year in July that it had closed the Epstein investigation. So I'm just using their words. Is it open or closed?
Blanche: "I don't believe the FBI said that. Well, if you're referring to..."
Merkley: "Your head of the Department of Justice is the Epstein investigation open or closed."
Blanche: "But I guess I don't understand what Epstein investigation means."

I don’t know a single person who voted for Brexit who thinks it was a mistake.

British people finally admitting leaving the EU ‘may not have been a brilliant idea’, says Dara Ó Briain buff.ly/SEpv9k6

@AllisonPearson Yeah pretty hard to get rid of 8 million people overnight

Still over SEVEN MILLION on the hospital waiting list.
It’s an international scandal.
Labour Future@LabourfutureUK
Under this Labour government we have seen the biggest fall in NHS waiting times in 14 years. Labour in government have made the NHS a priority. More Doctors and Nurses, better response times, prescriptions frozen. Labour is working. channel4.com/news/nhs-sees-…

Yay, Flip Flop Andy is back!

BREAKING: Andy Burnham u-turns on his desire to rejoin the EU “I am not proposing rejoining the EU” “I respect the decision that was made at the referendum” “The last thing we should do now is re-run those arguments” Flips his view from just 7 months ago when he backed rejoin

Labour’s claim to have accepted the EU referendum result was a lie from the start, wasn’t it?

@KemiBadenoch No you didn't. You know there was a review into it later in the year. All you did was increase the panic around fuel prices and make people believe there was an imminent rise which wasn't
English
This is welcome news for drivers struggling with rising costs.
It’s staggering it took so long for Labour to admit raising fuel duty would be another blow for families across the country.
Yet again we have forced Labour to do the right thing. That is responsible opposition.

@Alexarmstrong This is it? Everything you have on Burnham. Bit desperate
English
Have you ever gone for a run, had the national press show up totally out of the blue, then picked up your car up somewhere on the route and drove home?
Definitely not all planned 😆

This video from @ZiaYusufUK on immigration has been removed by TikTok for “Hate Speech”.
This is unacceptable political interference from a big tech company.
Does @TikTokComms believe in free speech or not?

No, Dan, you're wrong on this. No one promised Brexit voters that leaving the EU would solve all their problems. They promised to Take Back Control. We did that and then our political class betrayed that promise. Leave voters aren't angry that Brexit didn't deliver, they're even MORE angry than they were in 2016 that politicians STILL aren't listening to them.
(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges
If Reform do that Andy Burnham will simply point to Nige Farage and say “he told you if you voted for Brexit all your problems here in Makerfield would be solved. How did that work out for you”.

I voted for Brexit with a heavy heart ten years ago.
I was wrong: it has worked out better than I expected.
I'll be debating this with Anand Menon and Lara Spirit at The Times on Mon 29 June. Details:-

@TRobinsonNewEra You actually think more people turned up to this than Obama's inauguration?

Millions of patriots hit the capital of England today in the largest patriotic display the world has ever seen.

@amwilson_opera I mean it's a joke isn't it, that anything north of London is classed as "north" to Londoners and he's relatively popular, so it's a bit of a sarcastic title. But yeah, get wound up by it
English
Getting sick of hearing about Andy Burnham already. "King of the North", indeed. I don't think anyone thinks that in York, or Carlisle, or Newcastle.

What is Genge doing here?!
Minute one of the game as he has already lost his head with Pollock...
Too busy ball watching that he is not looking where he is running. Pollock does well to ignore him.
Could be a potential citing. Can't go throwing players around by the neck.

Burnham wants to nationalise everything in sight. An even more left wing Labour Party and even higher taxes will send investors fleeing.
Channel 4 News@Channel4News
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has set out his views on Labour's path forward and the policy challenges facing the country. Speaking to Channel 4 News' Andrew Misra, Burnham said he wanted Labour to become “a party that they can believe in again, a party solidly on the side of working class people.”

@ZiaYusufUK He can obviously serve Manchester, and the country better as PM. Pretty obvious

People who want to rejoin EU should be honest about what the terms would be:
- Join Schengen borderless zone
- Join euro
- No budget rebate, so even bigger payments
Alex Wickham@alexwickham
Both Andy Burnham and now Wes Streeting have called for the UK to rejoin the EU Burnham at conference last year: “I want to rejoin the EU.” Streeting today says the same It could be a controversial policy in the Makerfield by-election. It voted 65% Leave in 2016
