In 1989 Scottish band Del Amitri released “Nothing Ever Happens.” A song about misplaced values in society, & lack of change. It contained the line, “American businessmen snap up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing.” An Andy Warhol painting was sold yesterday for $195M.

I think @TheGreenParty should not put up a candidate in Makerfield but should say they support Burnham It is absolutely crucial that Reform do not win Burnham already supports Proportional Representation. He should make a pledge to the Greens to pursue this as prime minister

He is not the squeaky clean politician he is being made out to be. Burnham has kept this quiet hasn't he - BlackRock's joint venture (JV) with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), the UK's largest Local Government Pension Scheme. Announced in late March 2026, the partnership targets up to £1 billion in UK primary healthcare real estate (NHS-leased GP surgeries, primary care centres, and related facilities) by 2030. Does nobody realise how deeply Andy Burnham is involved in the scam that Freeports and SEZ's are costing taxpayers £84 billion+?

@JoeAccetturo @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics The private sector’s better at taking profit that’s all. Which is why our private housing sector has such high rents. Likewise energy dearest in Europe, and don’t go swimming in the sea or rivers, because they’re full of faecal matter. All good though because of the profit. 🙄

Because the state can't manage anything properly. That is the problem. They have no incentive to be efficient and they only know how to waste resources which always make what ever they attempt to fix far worse and cost far more than the private sector. The govt should be for making guardrails not operating businesses.

We have a choice: either tax the very rich more or have widespread extreme poverty

Stop issuing bonds. See how quickly the bond markets fall in line.

The unanswered question is why Josh Simons threw himself on his sword and resigned his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham? He ran Labour Together & along with Morgan McSweeny and Mandelson nurtured Starmer as Labour leader, and organised a savage campaign to remove Jeremy Corbyn.

The King's Speech and cost-of-living crisis. 2.73m England households live in fuel poverty. 4.5m-6.1m can't adequately heat homes. Since 2020 energy companies made £125bn profit. 120000 Britons die in fuel poverty annually Yet no curbs on profiteering leftfootforward.org/2026/05/the-ki…

@DMented_Avenger Declaration or registration of gifts doesn't end political bribery. Politicians are still on sale to the rich. We need to criminalise the receipt and payment of all political donations and end second/third jobs for all legislators.

@JimNorCal @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics The inequality obviously has nothing to do with the only cohort getting richer? The cohort that has the money, the land, the assets, the power, the media, & who buy the politicians? It’s all the fault of the boat migrants, who have no money, no power, no land, assets, or vote.🙄

@fuzzfoster @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics So (minor): govt waste And (major): people are poor because the wealthy are hoovering up all the wealth In his example of renters paying a large chunk of income compared to a homeowner I didn't see where he compared a Briton paying rent vs a migrant getting free housing though.

@darthgosu @PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics He literally did a masters in economics at Oxford, and a degree at LSE, plus worked on the trading floor. He’s paid a whole lot more than Larry Elliot at the Guardian. That makes him an economist. Btw you don’t have to be an electrician to spot a loose wire.

@PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics I can't like this statement enough! Always looking for more taxpayer dollars, never look internally to see what waste, fraud, socialist programs to cut.

@PeterMcCormack @garyseconomics "the highest tax burden since WWII" And consider how desperate those times were. The nation was wondering if they could provide sufficient nutrition to expectant mothers I'm at a loss to describe what the tax money is being used for now.
