Nathan MacDonald

@hayek_tendency None of these things were announced today though. Tbf to the PM, You would be surprised if a new PM waited until September to announce anything.

@nathanmac_d Firm/costed: VAT Energy Cut (£850m) Bus Fare Cap (£300m) Ending Rough Sleeping (£340m) Apprentice bursaries (£1bn recycled funding) Ambitons/not costed: National Care Service Roadmap (x£10's bns) Care Worker Pay Reform (tbd) Education reforms None laid before the house.

Maybe you should address the house rather than constantly trailing policies in public.

@hayek_tendency What policies did he announce?

@nathanmac_d he can't - that's why he should wait until it is.

@Ben_Bradley_32 Maybe give him a tad longer than 8 days. Your old party had 14 years

More of the same this morning from Burnham on #SocialCare Doesn't he seem nice. Doesn't he say nice things. Doesn't he offer absolutely no substance whatsoever. His big announcements: 1) we'll have a review (that's already happening) 2) we'll 'look at' the social care workforce 3) we'll talk to other parties about it Reviewing, looking, talking. Lots of questions. Zip all in terms of answers. Truly game changing stuff. Absolutely nothing new. Absolutely nothing different to what successive governments have said for years. More 'jam tomorrow' and no answers. But isn't he a nice man... 🤷🤦 His government is going to come unstuck very quickly.

@BethanyMiles__ @YouGov Nigel Farage is not an MP

Andy Burnham invites Kemi Badenoch and Ed Davey to a meeting on social care reform, but excludes Nigel Farage. He can snub Nigel all he wants, but he can't ignore millions of Reform voters. Reform UK has been leading every voting poll since 2025 and are now at 22% (@YouGov).

@PolitlcsUK I thought the Tories were serious about working together to fix social care? Of course not

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham will meet Ed Davey virtually later today to discuss social care reform Kemi Badenoch can’t make it, so Shadow Health Secretary Stuart Andrew will attend instead

@Brunte84 @Nigel_Farage Retirement plans maybe when he’s beaten by the bin?

There is only one plan we have for Nigel 👇🏼 @Nigel_Farage

@BrexitBassist How will Reform stop the boats? Don’t say leave the ECHR 😂

It's all very simple to understand. Do you want safer streets Do you want less crime Do you want less rapes Do you want less stabbings Do you want to stop the boats Do you want to put British people first Do you want to put British values first Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧 if you do.

@BrexitBassist Didn’t they achieve a worse result in the last local elections vs the year before? Ah, the by-elections, the ones they didn’t win!. Let’s wait and see, bookmark my response. Farage will lose to the bin and you lot will cry wolf

@nathanmac_d There is no proof he is ahead. With Reform there is proof with the shockwaves they delivered in the local and by-elections.

Makes me laugh.. 🤡 The left.. last week🤡 Reform are not leading the polls, the polls are fabricated and complete bullshite.. You are lying, it's right wing bullshite. The left.. this week🤡 Labour are winning the polls and it's not fabricated and not bullshit it's 100% fact.

@SuellaBraverman You didn’t stop the boats either. You had longer than Burnham…

Breaking News: Andy Burnham will not stop the boats.

@benonwine 42% reduction vs 2022

ANDY BURNHAM IS GASLIGHTING YOU!! He has the audacity to stand there and say the plan to stop the boats is “working.” Nearly 900 people crossed in a single week. Boats are still landing. Hotels are still full. Taxpayers are still paying.

@darrengrimes @ZackPolanski Retirement plans?

Cheers, @ZackPolanski!

@russellquirk @ZackPolanski Maybe in 2029 if he doesn’t get beaten by the bin 😆

Hey @ZackPolanski, I’ve fixed it for you.

@EssexPR If it was a right leaning MP sharing something similar you would be trying to defend the behaviour.. For the record what Polanski said was disgusting - I agree he should step down as leader. Actually he shouldn’t be an MP with views like that.

No arrest, but I think Polanski should be shamed & treated like any on the right would be. I personally think that he should have to step down as a party leader. If a right leaning MP shared something similar, they’d be calls for a resignation or a by-election. You know it…

@benonwine Your missing the previous 14 years where the Tories created a mess that had to be cleared up

Who on earth is still voting Labour? I genuinely don’t understand how some polls are showing Labour ahead of Reform. After everything that’s happened over the past couple of years, it’s hard for me to see why so many people would still back them. What am I missing? 🤷‍♂️

@DeborahAubrey11 WHO IS THE WE?

WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION. WE WANT A GENERAL ELECTION.

@TrishHodkinson No… You got richer. Then it changed.. It was less about all of us and more about the elite few.

@nathanmac_d When I was younger and wet behind the ears I actually did vote for them. Then I grew up!

I’m sick of Prime Minister Burnham already.

@MrsNickyClark All these remarks are generally coming from right wing Labour haters who spend all day on this platform condemning the left for doing what they do 😂

The weird thing for me about the commentary on Marie-France van Heel’s appearance this week, was I thought if they said anything it would be complimentary comments about her bum - AKA Pippa Middleton. But sadly I was wrong and some people are just abusive arseholes.

@Councillorsuzie If you think that the public have forgiven the Tories then you’re very deluded- You won’t see office again until at least 2040

No Labour won’t win. The general public are not stupid. They can see the absolute mess Labour have made in two years and the new PM is totally self obsessed and is spending taxpayers money on his pet project while hiding from serious journalists.
