According to the BBC Andy Burnham refuses to rule out challenging Starmer for leadership
He should concentrate on Manchester (where he is doing a good job) rather than stirring up trouble for Labour

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.
It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.
Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

So not crewed entirely by little Englanders like Georgina Foster how upsetting for her
Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

A great initiative- but our schools should not really need air filters we all deserve clean air
I want every child in London to breathe clean air in their school.
St Mary’s Primary in Battersea is one of more than 200 schools receiving an air quality filter as part of my new initiative. Brilliant to see first-hand how they’re helping to protect young Londoners' health.

This is what action on climate change looks like
Labour are getting on with the job, green energy brings bills down and creates jobs - the green economy continues to grow at many times the rate of the brown economy.

I am sure I remember one of UKIPs claims was take back control of our borders- how did that work out?
Farage told many proven lies about the benefits of Brexit. He now wants us to leave the EHCR to stop the boats, this is another lie it won’t . Before Brexit we could send many asylum seeker back across the channel automatically.
Farage and his lies stopped that. Small boats are Farage’s legacy.

You have to admire her ability to consistently make the wrong call - why don’t her advisors simply say ‘Kemi whatever you are thinking of doing or saying just do the opposite’
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch tried to grab some US far-right energy recently by publicly meeting with Turning Point UK (TPUK) to mourn assassinated US activist Charlie Kirk, a close ally of Donald Trump.
