Here’s Makerfield MP Andy Burnham leaving by a side entrance moments after his speech today. I think it is appalling that he would not take questions from us journalists. He will be made Prime Minister of our country three weeks today. More coverage and analysis at @GBNEWS.

Andrew Neil warns Andy Burnham: shifting power northwards is an expensive way to create government jobs without any real growth. "It just means more government." @afneil

@flyinglawyer73 @andyburnham I am petrified about devolved spending powers to mayors. I mean- Tracey Brabin?

So @andyburnham won’t be taking questions after his presentation today? Is he that lacking in confidence? Can you imagine leaders who actually had a philosophy, like Thatcher or Blair, acting like this? They’d have relished it.

I have hated tennis since, as a white working- class kid, I was kicked off the court as the local club had commandeered the school courts and I couldn’t afford the £20 membership or the whites. Has it changed for working-class children? #wimbledon

Clusters, missions, place-based collaboration, 'powering up', a rewired Britain...it's all a little amorphous. Abstract. A Jackson Pollock sort of speech. A load of Pollocks, perhaps.

There’s a real problem with @andyburnham devolving powers to mayors. Just 2 words. Tracey Brabin. Thorough incompetence. No thanks @MayorOfWY

Burnham’s coup is well underway. Big speech today with no questions from journalists. No debate in Parliament. No scrutiny from MPs until September. Power without accountability. Funny how Burnham demanded a General Election in 2022, but not now. We need a General Election.

I’ve had a think about the government’s policy of flooding Britain with third world rapists and murderers and giving them free houses and enough money to never work again in their lives and I have come to the conclusion that it’s a fucking terrible policy.

Last year’s increase in Capital Gains Tax resulted in a decrease in CGT revenue. Treasury took £13.6 billion in 2024-25 compared with £14.9 billion the year before (@thetimes). When you tax wealth it goes elsewhere….

Dreadful by @andyburnham. Just platitudes. He has no clear philosophy he’s confident in. Hence not taking questions. He can’t hack it.

It's mental to think that in less than 30 days we've seen an attempted b#heading, countless teenagers st#bbed and raped, a Somalian car flatten 5 people, and a baby r#ped to death, all a result of immigration. I don't remember British summertimes ever being like this before.

The idea that devolution seriously improves public services has been robustly tested in Scotland and Wales. Perhaps why 9 out of 11 English cities rejected the idea of mayors in the 2012 referendums. To double down on this model is a risk…

This Labour term in government has been one of the most controversial in modern British politics. They tried to delay local elections. They proposed limiting jury trials in some Crown Court cases. Now they're planning to let members of the public decide appeals from failed asylum seekers. This government seems to be rewriting long standing constitutional norms at every opportunity. In my opinion, it's the most anti democratic government Britain has ever had.
