@TomK_Brit1993 The Labour supported Starmer for the digital ID and now they will support Burnham for scrapping it. Idiots don’t know left from right.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Not particularly. What I don’t want to see is the hate by some people. Not necessary.

@KirstieMAllsopp @andyburnham @UKLabour Don’t hold out much hope. All we have heard so far is hot air don’t think he can even name his cabinet. Slight hint of in over his head shouts out. The only thing for certain is more taxes.

A reminder, Andy, of the Thatcher era: •⁠ ⁠Income tax: 83% → 40% •⁠ ⁠Basic rate: 33% → 25% •⁠ ⁠Inflation: 21.9% peak (1980) → 2.4% (1986) •⁠ ⁠Days lost to strikes: 29.5 million (1979) → 1.9 million (1990) •⁠ ⁠Real pay for the average earner: up by a third

It is insane to see this 5th April 1982 interview with Margaret Thatcher from the vantage point of today. At this point, the Argentinians had just invaded and seized the Falklands. You can actually see what they call an "iron will" in her eyes, and hear it in every measured, authoritative word. There's no bluster or misplaced confidence, just a quiet conviction. She was a totally different type of leader unseen in a long time, which Britain sorely needs today. Thatcher’s government staked everything on retaking the islands after Argentina's invasion. Polls showed her deeply unpopular beforehand; victory, thanks to the "Falklands Factor," delivered a landslide in 1983. Defeat almost certainly would have forced her resignation amid national humiliation, collapsing Conservative support and likely ushering in a Labour government amid economic strife and union unrest. More than politics was at stake. Giving up would have meant abandoning British citizens to a right-wing junta’s aggression, a Suez Crisis on steroids for the television age. Images of surrender would have flashed around the world, signaling weakness. It would have shattered the idea that Britain still stood ready to defend its people and its territory. Watch how she explains why fighting was not just necessary, but morally imperative. Listen to the way she deftly handles questions about America, praising their diplomatic efforts while making it crystal clear that this was Britain and only Britain's responsibility to shoulder alone. And when the ITN interviewer asks her at the end if she's prepared to resign if she fails? Trust me.... just watch how and what she answered it with. This type of leadership feels like an extinct species now. It’s exactly the kind of clear-eyed, unflinching European voice the West could use more of today. (Javier Milei has long been an open admirer of Thatcher for precisely these reasons btw)

@andyburnham Pity you will target those that better themselves and get on in life. To me that is not fair.

@truemagic68 Apart from Bellingham and Kane the starting team was not strong enough. Defence has been dire all tournament. No where near 2022 strength and Gareth messed that one up.

LBC'S Tom Swarbrick, standing in for Nick Ferrari, ran rings around Lucy Rigby, Treasury Sec over the improved UK economy & its outlook. I fear she was found wanting. Hanging her 'fascinator' on 6 rate cuts does not wash. Rates have come down thanks to BoE/MPC. @TomSwarbrick1
