Andy Burnham, "She said it was a mistake for the Conservative party to leave the European Union before we had a plan for growth outside the EU" "She may as well have said that it was a mistake to leave the EU without a plan in place to control migration" "Because that is what led to the Boris wave, in the government she was in" "Where migration in this country changed, away from revolving door migration (with the EU), towards long term settlement" "Let's have humility from the Conservative benches who left low growth and migration our of control" Kemi Badenoch, "I stand by my words. Where we make mistakes I own up to them" Badenoch then claims that Burnham doesn't respect Labours own Brexit red lines, even though he's already said that he isn't changing them during this parliament. Burnham then picks up on her claim where she says she admits to making mistakes observing that twice on BBC London she was asked whether Brexit was good or bad for the economy, and she refused to answer. Badenoch then says yes, to Brexit being good for the economy. The Conservatives spent years promising Brexit would boost the economy. Now, when asked if it actually did, their leader needed a shove to say yes. They left the country with weaker growth and a mess of their own making. The lectures can wait.

Left: Danny Kruger calls for more oil and gas Right: Six years ago Danny Kruger supported net zero saying, "Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face, and I can assure you that I recognise the importance and urgency of action on this issue." "Indeed, the threat of global warming has never been more apparent, as highlighted by the sobering conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s special report on global warming of 1.5C." My view: A striking change in emphasis: Danny Kruger once spoke of climate action as urgent. Now he’s calling for more oil and gas exploration. His own words show how much his position has shifted.
