The lovely folks over at @westenglandbylines.co.uk have published another article by little ole me. This was my take on Andy Burnham's conference speech a couple of weeks back. Check it out. 👇 westenglandbylines.co.uk/opinion/andy...
Andy Burnham’s conference debut: a new hope?
Andy Burnham’s debut speech as Labour Party leader made a splash, with many headline-grabbing policy promises. Look a little closer, however, and there are reasons to doubt whether he can deliver them

Regulators: who watches the watchers?
"Who watches the watchers?" is a phrase we hear a great deal but, in these dystopian times, one to which we should perhaps pay more heed

Who is Malcolm Robinson? Reform UK's elusive donor. He gave the party £1,650,000 including a £1M loan but nobody knows who he actually is. I may have found him. This is a monstrous investigative essay but hopefully worth 20 mins of your time. donmcgowan333.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
