Can someone please start a crowdfunding campaign to enrol Andy Burnham on an a few Economics for Beginners courses? He seems to be in desperate need of one. "We have to be pragmatic. We can't ignore energy reserves that we have while people are struggling with the cost of living."
Burnham urgently needs to engage on this. Retaining Mahmood as Home Secretary is a disastrous start. Let's hope he sees sense. Nothing is safe from the billionaire assault on humanity. None of our rights, however ancient & familiar, are impregnable. Fight for them now or lose them, perhaps for ever.
I haven’t seen his actual words, but if Burnham did say that drilling would ease cost of living, he’s not ‘admitting’ it, he’s either lying or an idiot. You can’t ‘admit’ something that isn’t true.
