Andy Burnham is the platonic midwit. No wonder he's popular with a portion of the electorate. He's the personification of representative government, in that he represents the British public in all its idiocy, shallowness and unseriousness - but he can emote, so it's fine.
Translation: Burnham currently has no plan. That explains a lot.
Exc: Peter Hyman expected to enter No. 10 to write Burnham's Ten Year Plan

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has finally recognised the public’s frustration that socks go missing in the laundry.
He’s introducing the Triple Sock Bill — making it compulsory for every sock to be sold in threes.
Our futures are secure. 🧦🧦🧦

Andy Burnham's manifesto pledges have been leaked.
- Fewer lemon and lime fruit pastilles in each pack.
- Ban on people saying “it’s grim up north”.
- Mandatory soft-close lids on every public bin.
- Amber pedestrian crossing lights to flash for an extra 1.8 seconds.
This government is a parody of itself.
Parking should be straightforward, not another everyday hassle.
Today we’re putting the brakes on rip-off parking charges - meaning drivers get a fairer deal, protections from being unfairly charged, and confidence that private parking providers are held to a higher standard.
It's yet another step forward in this government’s plan to take the stress out of everyday life and ease the pressure on people's pockets.

I recently spent some time with former colleagues from academia. All of them brilliant, peak human capital. Almost all of them fundamentally unable to plug into the economy, inoculated against productivity by a youth spent experimenting in laboratories instead of building wealth for society. Dealing with real people in the real world.
90% of them have left academia in the last 10-15 years, and 90% of those are functionally unemployed. Grad school does a lousy job of training scientists to be professors (since most of them don't get the good postdoc or tenure track position) and an even worse job of preparing people for real life.
We complain that our societal infrastructure is collapsing, our state capacity is low, our incumbent industries are faltering. Where are the next generation of leaders that can push us forward?
A huge fraction of them were conveyor-belted into academia by schooling systems that have no mechanism to channel ambition and 99+%ile competence, and our universities are mostly hedge funds with glorified psych wards/academic departments on the side, running an insane pyramid scheme that exists only to prove, over and over again, the Shirky Principle: Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.
We literally poured trillions of dollars into state-funded research and effectively neutered our elite civilian technical leadership development programs.
I recently asked a few academic friends if they were finding AI useful in accelerating their programs of research. You know, to solve the Big Problem their entire field exists to solve?
Some were. But most were complaining about how it created pedagogical issues, explaining how their department decided to ban the use of AI, or how it took 18 months to approve an enterprise account, or how they tried Gemini 2 on a puzzle a year ago and it wasn't very helpful, or repeating nonsense about datacenters and water consumption, or supposed IP theft by model companies, as though that has any bearing on their ability to, eg, accelerate a cure for cancer.
Elon sometimes calls AI a supersonic tsunami - a huge wave you don't see coming. I see it coming. But even the people who you'd think have been waiting for this their entire careers are steadfastly looking in the other direction.

France is in flames (yet he wants to rejoin the EU).
Trump is selling out Ukraine, cosying up to Putin again
A cost-of-living crunch is looming this winter, especially fuel bills.
He still hasn’t told us how or when defence spending will reach 3% GDP.
Inflation is rising once more, as are interest rates.
Russian forces are threatening our infrastructure, especially undersea data and energy links.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, our Gulf allies are under attack.
And PM Burnham drivels about this!!
It’s like the opening sketch from Saturday Night Live.

Check this out:
“As a former RNLI Crewman Volunteer of 15 years let me educate you of Maritime Law if I may.
When these rubber boats set off from France overloaded, the French are breaking maritime law by not intercepting them and returning them to shore. When these illegal migrants boats have sailed almost 3/4 of the way to the UK and now in British waters, the RNLI and Border Force are sent out by the Coastguard on the instructions of HM Government to intercept them. They do this because if the rubber boats are allowed to land on uk soil under their own steam then everyone on board becomes an illegal immigrant and by law MUST be detained and deported asap.
However when they are picked up at sea, even if only 200 yards offshore, and in no danger whatsoever, then the RNLI and Border pick them up and they are longer called illegals - conclusion The French and The British are doing this on purpose - WHY?”

Reform UK should be held to high standards. I don't think anybody is disputing that. But watching the latest Channel 4/ITV investigations I did wonder:
Where is the year-long undercover investigation into the grooming gangs and the Labour-held councils and police officers who enabled them for years?
Where's the year-long investigation into the mosques, Islamic charities and educational foundations that are suspected of supporting Islamism in this country?
Where's the prime-time investigation into the pro-Palestine or pro-Hamas activists who have been marching through our streets for years?
Where's the investigation into the civil service and why supposedly impartial government units are now becoming so openly political?
Where's the undercover sting operation into the Green party, Stand Up To Racism, Hope Not Hate, and other far-left groups -- including their links to the Labour Party and funding from British taxpayers?
Where's the detailed uncover work on the global multinationals that are ruthlessly exploiting British workers, the corrupt regimes exploiting foreign aid from the British people, or the organised foreign national networks exploiting Britain's welfare state?
None of this is to downplay the investigation into Reform UK. Personally, I think all this makes the party stronger over the longer-term. The party should and no doubt will improve its internal policies as a result.
It is also now crystal clear to everybody in this country what is going on. Establishment interest groups are trying to dismantle the party.
But I still ask: if the media and journalists are going to do this kind of deep undercover work then shouldn't they be doing it to everybody?
Because right now it looks like they are only interested in discrediting the one political party that wants to overturn the broken status-quo.

Richard Williams was Commanding Officer of the SAS
Read this powerful article by @thetimes , and reflect on what has been shared..
This is not just “persecution by (extremely clumsy) process” imposed upon active-duty SAS operators fighting to detain vicious ISIS thugs in an active war zone, but also an example of performative self-immolation initiated by the most senior UK Special Forces officer at the time (G Jenkins) as self-serving exercise in what HE calls ‘transparency’……
So, if someone, anyone (quite possibly an enemy) within an active war zone says the SAS killed an unarmed man, then the so-called ‘senior leaders’ (some, as in this case, with near-zero combat experience) within the Whitehall-based ‘UK system’ desperate to demonstrate something that they call ‘transparency’ (or whatever else floats the MOD’s boat), will automatically launch an aggressive RMP operation to detain the SAS men involved….
Not on the basis of any hard evidence (there is no crime scene, no bodies, no bullets etc), but purely on distant, uncorroborated hearsay and remote, delayed analysis of operational reports; all supported by desk-bound, chinless leaders that seemingly care more about how they will (personally) look in an MOD promotion board than trying to properly understand the circumstances faced by the SAS men and defend them accordingly.
What a gift this utterly pathetic weakness, low threshold investigative process and twisted self-defeating system gives to our many enemies….and what an awful message it sends to those that still volunteer to fight on our all of our behalves….

It's almost as if Team Burnham hasn’t got a clue what it’s doing.
NEW: MI5 chief Ken McCallum has said Britain must be careful not to exaggerate the impact of Russian interference and bots on democratic events like Brexit, warning that risks doing the Kremlin’s job for them.
“I'm a little bit worried that if we all stay in this debate for another few days that the Russian trolls who didn't appear to do all that at various points over the years, they'll be delighted.
“They are front page news once again, despite the comparative un-impressiveness of much of what they do at all the points along the journey.
“I am a little bit anxious that we don’t play into our adversaries’ hands by making these trolls look 10 feet tall. That’s not our experience of them.”
“There is a really important difference between interference attempted and outcome swayed. It’s quite important to focus on the difference between what may have been attempted and what actually resulted.”
He said he agreed with Andy Burnham’s comments in the House of Commons yesterday, including about the Russian hack-and-leak that was used in the 2019 general election.
