What can I say… I like the cut of his jib. All that remains is to see how #Burnham will sail. He is certainly saying all of the right things to society at large and especially to those whose anger and frutrations require outlets, a safety valve to let off some steam, before *Repairs* begin. #AlboPM, *take note* if you value your legacy.
“In his first speech as prime minister on July 17, Burnham promised “good growth in every postcode”, saying his victory in the Makerfield by-election, which returned him to Westminster, was a call “on behalf of forgotten places everywhere up and down this country, for a return of the Labour they once knew”.
“We must recognise that this generation of politicians, myself included, have failed to challenge a political culture and an economic model that simply doesn’t work well enough for ordinary people.”
Burnham charts that failure to “a series of wrong-turns in the 1980s”.
“Four decades of the neoliberalism that began in the 1980s have not been kind to the places that built our party, nor to the communities across the UK in rural and coastal areas,” he said.
“Political power was centralised and economic power was privatised.”

Watch both Labor & LNP run for cover on this one. Real time disclosure and truth in advertising scare the shit out of them.

Looking for a nice way to end your Friday? Consider writing the Environment Minister a letter re. the Gregory coal mine expansion. That #AusLabor is allowing coal mines to continue operating into the 2070s (?!) is a betrayal of everything they should stand for.
