Still a bit too obsessed with everything politics. Twitter refugee. Don’t jump straight into my DMs. #StillBrendon’sMum

Many of the usual suspects are working for Burnham. Don’t expect much dissent from Kier loyalists, they’re the sort of folk who put unity ahead of self interest. This feels like a honeymoon play, but the public, having had almost no say in his appointment, won’t be granting him one.

Similar to the excuse they used against Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya. The UK and US went supplied bombs to Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen for about 6 years never discussed in the British media. Now Support bombing in Palestine & Lebanon.. Who really are the problem? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

UK 'ready to defend itself' after Iran says bases are 'legitimate targets'

An Iranian military group has issued a warning to the UK over allowing US forces to use British bases for strikes on Iran.

Crappy grief week - it’s never not crappy but this week has been worse. I lost an elderly aunt that was dear to me and maybe that’s exacerbated the loss of my son? I don’t know, but I just miss him so much. My memory is so vivid, I hear his voice. It’s just so ridiculous that he’s not here.

IMO The transition from Starmer to Burnham appears driven by powerful pro-Israel interests reacting to Starmer's PR, All Politicians that whitewash violence against Palestinians should be held accountable.

I've always said i would welcome Labour when they do the right thing, and today's business relief for venues and pubs is a welcome respite for an industry at the heart of our communities.

What is it with the UK Far Right privately educated multimillionaire posh boys and their constant back and forth with US politics and foreign billionaires? 🤔 Do they actually WANT to hand the UK over on a platter as the US’s 51st State? Because that’s what it looks like!

This could very well be the most important story in politics for the last decade and a half. Please read and share this equally harrowing and illuminating account by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of just how dark the money in politics pit really goes. Absolutely mind blowing.

Farage, the money launderer and me: a decade of denial

The Reform leader’s relationship with the UK media has enabled him to operate with impunity for years. This past fortnight, that impunity finally appeared to be coming to an end. Carole Cadwalladr, wh...

I can’t take Andy Burnham as PM seriously. Someone democratically elected is persuaded to stand down so that he can become an MP. Not democratic imo. It’s very much taking advantage of a loop hole & obviously there were back room negotiations. And then, just like that he is PM! Madness!

Andy Burnham is suggesting "honesty" in UK politics. OK, I'll start.... -Brexit has made us much weaker -Well-organised immigration is a boon and not a bane -big money in politics and our media is destroying the UK
