Political content. Cutting through the distraction. Focusing on what's broken: the system, the media and the economy as well as on the climate crisis. Dev Raval is the human running this account.
Thanks Andy is trending on X and I do suggest you look at it if you can to see just what an idiot people think Burnham is. It took Starmer much longer to be seen as a gimp. Burnham managed it less than a month with this stupid alert. Turns out being PM really is nothing like being a mayor.
Sorry but Burnham's response to the heatwave crisis is too little, too late. He didn't even use the word climate from the day he became an MP until today. A BBQ and a text message just doesn't cut it. Stop making TikTok's and get on with the list below...
Will Labour actually pay to cool NHS hospitals? Health Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government would ensure “proper cooling in hospitals.” She pointed to £6.75 billion in NHS capital investment. So is this real funding for cooling? Details here: devutopia.substack.com/p/will-labou...
The only explanation for MPs making this change is that most of them are corrupt as hell and busy stuffing their pockets with money.
Burnham can’t TikTok his way out of this, the situation with water is getting worse and worse. Renationalisation is the only sane option. Will he do it?
A real joy of Starmer's time as PM was when his posts would get community noted for the lies he threw out. It's good to see Burnham is keeping this going.

The Ministry of Defence just can't be trusted with the ££ fortunes Labour wants to give them. They are biologically incapable of spending money wisely. Spend the money on the NHS and social care instead.
Thursday: Burnham announces 200 new mental health centres. Big headlines. Good vibes. Saturday's Guardian front page: two thirds of NHS trusts cutting mental health care this year. Starmer may have gone. Labour's relationship with the truth hasn't.
I'm unclear on what level of delusion or amount of hard drugs would be needed to get to the conclusion that Burnham is a return to "Old Labour" and then use a pic of Benn and Foot for that fever dream.
No. Just like he won't bring in PR or move closer to Europe. Why make life better for ordinary people instead of billionaires?

Don't worry Burnham's got this. As soon as he's finished his hols he'll be back to do one of his Northern lad TkToks where he'll say "he's thinking about this" or "considering what to do". His go to solution for any issue, vibes.
Labour: "We will end neoliberalism." Also Labour: let's identify which primary school children are destined to be unemployed. Not fix the economy that leaves young people with no future. Not create the jobs. Not invest in the communities. Label little kids as potential failures

"Cuts in every postcode" (if Labour ever told the truth this what Burnham should be saying)
