This is such an early catastrophic failure of leadership from Andy Burnham. It makes it very clear that ultimately he isn't serving people in this country (or nature), he is serving private equity and the interests of the super rich. This is why we currently live in Rip Off Britain.

Andy Burnham’s slippery approach to council housing (he isn’t shifting social housing spending to council after all) raises questions over what other campaign promises he will water down almost immediately (Thames Water feels like another) www.ft.com/content/ab1a...

Brexit has taken up so much time, energy and resource to achieve the square root of fuck all. And now we’re trapped by it because no one has the guts to say how shit it is and how we need to get over ourselves and engage effectively with the EU again. It’s unforgivably tedious.

Time for Labour to “Dare more democracy.” Next week’s debate on the representation of the people bill offers a golden opportunity to make long overdue changes to our archaic undemocratic rotten voting system - and to start building trust with voters again

Andy Burnham should rip up our undemocratic first past the post system – even if some in Labour disagree | Neal Lawson

Rearguard reactionaries may try to block the idea of a national commission into proportional representation, but we should want more not less democracy, says Neal Lawson, director of Compass

So, to implement their vengefully racist social housing plan, Reform would tear up our Brexit deal, huff out of the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act. As diminishing returns go, it can’t get any more diminished. Seriously voters, this is insane. (Ps British “expats” are migrants too) (iPaper)

How Farage's migrant housing ban risks hitting British expats • Experts have warned that Nigel Farage's plans to prioritise British-born people for social housing could spark a trade war with the EU - and end up hurting British expats. • The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford said that the policy would breach the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement. Brussels could respond by suspending elements of the UK's trade deal with the bloc, creating complications for Brits living in the EU. • Reform UK's plan would likely fall foul of the Equality Act and the European Convention on Human Rights - both of which the party has previously vowed to scrap.

Good to hear a Libdem MP @maxwilkinson.bsky.social on #r4today for a change. Found myself thinking it was not the usual nails down a blackboard moment. But actually a sensible conversation about joining the EU migration pact. Refreshing sanity in all the hateful noise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Join EU migration pact to tackle small boats, says Ed Davey

The Liberal Democrats say taking part in the scheme would "destroy the business model" of gangs arranging Channel crossings.

Just a thought, but is it perhaps time for a responsible news media to stop reporting the dribbling arseblurts of these fools? Seriously, this is on a par with “Bloke down the pub says it’s a well-known fact that there’s no actual evidence that smoking is bad for you.”
