    Burnham, as seen in that analysis, shows no sign of upholding international law and opposing Israel's crimes against humanity.

    Which has him headed straight towards allowing Britain to continue to actively participate in genocide in Palestine.

    Not fit to be PM.

  3. Local #conservatives MP newsletter in one sentence says the possibility of higher government spending under #andyburnham is "worrying" and then in the next, pushes for £1bn #NHS #welfare spending on a replacement hospital that Johnson, Truss & Sunak never quite got around to funding. The irony meter explodes!

  7. CW: inaction, Gaza genocide

    So Andy Burnham thinks UK Labour got it wrong about Israel's violence in Gaza?

    In which +20,000 children were slaughtered.

    The bit I don't understand is why Andy Burnham didn't do anything that created even the slightest blip in the news I saw in 2024 & 2025 when the children were being shot and bombed.

  9. Listen Jane, I'm really sorry that we got the children's diet so wrong that +22,000 of them died. We should have done better.
    But let's move on and open another school.

  11. Andy Burnham’s Apology: A Shift in Labour’s Gaza Stance?


    Andy Burnham apologises for Labour’s stance on Gaza

    July 2026

    In numerous posts we have commented on the war in Gaza and more recently in Lebanon, and noted the shameful approach by the British government under Sir Keir Starmer the departing prime minister. We commented on the arms sales which continued despite the terrible events, the diplomatic support for Israel, the hundreds of overflights of Gaza by the RAF, the continued support for Elbit Systems and prosecution of those who call out this support and call for the recognition of Palestine.

    It now seems that the likely new prime minister, Andy Burnham (image: Middle East Eye), has recognised these errors and has announced that the party ‘didn’t get it right’ and ‘we need to do better’. If this is carried through into policy then it will be very welcome. What no one has picked up in the media is the timing of this announcement which came on the day that nominations closed for the leadership election. Could this be a fear of the hundreds of MPs who are members of the Friends of Israel groups?

    Sir Keir Starmer alienated many of his supporters by his approach to Israel. His statement that Israel had every right to cut off water and power shocked many and attempts to back track never really healed the damage. It showed a politician desperate to shake off the ‘anti-Semitic’ criticism more or less at all costs. Many were doubly shocked because of his human rights background. It was one of the factors which led to his defenestration. Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic.

    We have to be wary of course since many politicians make statements like this. He has to face a massive and well funded lobby in parliament, a media much of which is supportive of the Israelis and a BBC which even today (10 July) was quibbling on the Today programme whether it is a genocide or not because it hadn’t been legally decided yet.

  14. Your MPs at work , NOT!

    In 2019 Parliament pass the Parking (Code of Practise) Act 2019. the purpose of which was to provide regulation and protection from cowboy parking companies.

    In 2022 the government code of practise was tabled and then withdrawn due to lawsuits from parking companies. Since then the government has done nothing.

    in that time millions of the PCNs on dodgy grounds has been issued. Something like 12m per year. companies like ParkingEye have revenues of £61m!

    Meanwhile the #BPA is continually modifying it's "code" to weaken protections for motorists and enabling it's right hand man - POPLA - to refuse more and more appeals. POPLA is basically corrupt.

    I will be writing to the new PM to finally get this Act enforced . You all should do the same.
