Noticeable @andyburnham is the only G7 leader at the COP31 climate summit.
The UK are the only country stupid enough to waste time and money on it !

So if the government acknowledges getting easy money encourages under 25’s not to work,why aren’t your government taking this approach for the bone idle over 25’s too @andyburnham ?

Good grief @BBC
You need to start asking some serious internal questions.
The BBC Hall of Shame:
Jimmy Savile
Stuart Hall
Rolf Harris
Huw Edwards
Chris Denning
Dave Lee Travis
Mark Page
John Mylrea Caine
Tony Wadsworth
Julie Wadsworth
Duncan Bartlett
Benjamin Wilkins
Dylan Dawes
Jonathan King
Chris Langham
Stephen Brookes
Michael Rowell
David Walliams
Russell Brand
The question is not just ‘Did the BBC institutionally cover up these offences over decades, enabling the abuse of youngsters?’
It’s also ‘Who else are we unaware of and still may be a danger to the public?’

Presumably that includes males and Nick Brown does it @AlexDaviesJones
Hmmm thought not !
Impunity.
‘Seemingly’ powerful men using their wealth, influence and status to abuse women & girls has devastatingly occurred for millennia.
Their horrific crimes hidden and protected because of ‘who they were/are’.
Enough!
Proud of all those victims refusing to stay silent

Oh dear @LucyMPowell
And you’re the Education Secretary.
🙈🙄
As part of our once in a generation reforms to the curriculum, Key Stage 3 will get the focus it needs to be engaging, exciting, and richer so that more children participate and progress.
To do this, schools should not routinely bring forward GSCE content and options into this important and distinct part of a child’s education.

With your mouth @LucyMPowell you don’t need a megaphone!
It’s been an honour to serve as your Deputy Leader for the past year.
I promised to take back the political megaphone and set out a clear message about what we stand for and whose side we are on.
That’s exactly what we’re doing: being boldly, confidently, authentically Labour.

Why on earth would it possibly cost £7 million just to study if the Olympics could be brought to the north.
Talk about throwing money away. 🙄

She doesn’t fill me with the slightest confidence. 🙈
MEET THE WOMAN WHO LOST £44 MILLION, THEN GOT PROMOTED FOR IT
Labour says Jackdaw is about energy security. Her last job is now a crime scene.
Yesterday the Energy Secretary approved gas production at Jackdaw. Her words: "following careful consideration of all relevant factors". Labour's words: "homegrown gas has a role to play in our energy security". Her own admission: it will not bring your bills down.
Now the file.
Born Monrovia, Liberia, 1979. Her father, Henry Boimah Fahnbulleh Jr, was Foreign Minister to Samuel Doe, the master sergeant who seized power in a 1980 coup and had the sitting president executed. The family fled in 1986. Britain took them in.
Beechwood Sacred Heart, fee paying. Then Oxford. Then a PhD at the LSE. Then six years running the New Economics Foundation. July 2024, elected for Peckham. Five days later, a minister. Her brief: ECO4, the insulation scheme.
23 January 2025, she tells the House of "widespread non-compliance" with installation standards. July 2025, an audit of 60,000 homes finds more than 30,000 fitted to no standard at all. Her own word to Parliament: "systemic failure". Ninety three year old Margaret Chappell in County Durham, watching brown mould eat her wall.
22 April 2026. The Serious Fraud Office. Four arrested. Six addresses searched. Three firms named. At least £44 million in claims. Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee: a "charlatan's charter".
Three weeks later she resigns. Not over the insulation. Over Starmer. First minister out of the door, demanding a "timetable for an orderly transition".
Ten weeks after that, Burnham hands her Energy Security and Net Zero. A Privy Counsellor by the next morning.
Verdict: the scheme she ran is under criminal investigation, the homes are still rotting, and she now decides what comes out of the ground. She fails upward with the calm of a woman who has never once been asked a follow up question. This government does not do consequences.

Why does somebody who earns more have to pay a higher rate of Capital Gains Tax.
Yet another unfair policy to hammer some people.

Yes indeed,or Rachel Reeves the fake economist or Johnathan Reynolds the fake solicitor or Nick Brown….
The list goes on @andyburnham
Who vetted Labour minister Louise Haigh? She pleaded guilty in 2014 to fraud by false representation after dishonestly claiming her work BlackBerry had been stolen from her employer Aviva, with court documents later confirming she admitted lying in order to obtain a newer iPhone, an episode that cost the company £1,249 in a replacement handset and investigation.
She received a conditional discharge and a £100 fine, a spent conviction she has always described as a genuine mistake after a mugging, though she pleaded guilty on her solicitor’s advice and multiple sources at the time alleged personal gain from an upgrade.
She disclosed the conviction to Keir Starmer when appointed to the shadow cabinet in 2020, but did not fully declare it to the government’s propriety and ethics team on entering the Cabinet after the 2024 election, and when the details became public in November 2024 she became the first cabinet casualty of the Starmer government, resigning as Transport Secretary after only four months once Downing Street cited further information and made clear her position was untenable.
Yet in July 2026 Andy Burnham reinstated her at the highest level as First Secretary of State, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, one of the most powerful roles in government.
The sequence leaves the obvious questions unanswered: who examined the full circumstances of a fraud conviction before she first reached the Cabinet, why the facts that forced her resignation in 2024 were treated as insufficient to prevent her return in 2026, and what, if any, process assessed fitness for a post carrying broad responsibility for government operations and integrity.
The public record is straightforward a conviction for fraud by false representation, a resignation under pressure, and a subsequent high-level reinstatement.
