Andy Burnham is set to increase foreign aid spending from 0.2% to 0.7% of GDP. His plan to help the UK is to send our money abroad, where we send billions to countries like India with a space programme. Andy is already shaping up to be worse than Keir Starmer.

@LizWebsterSBF @Politics20204 Not much point discussing it with Neil Kinnock. He was never PM material and was wrong about most things. Oh and he his wife and son have all lived off the public purse all their lives

@USAP09 @Politics20204 If the answer to improving productivity is to close the mines, close the steelworks, import the steel, and leave communities on benefits for decades, we’ve simply exported production while importing dependency.

🔴 Harold Wilson’s vision was for Britain to remain a mixed economy with a strong industrial base, strategic public ownership, North Sea resources used for national renewal, and a partnership with Europe. 🇳🇴 Norway followed something much closer to that path. 🇬🇧 Britain took a different route: Financial deregulation and the growing dominance of the City. Large-scale privatisation. Selling off strategic national assets. North Sea oil revenues largely used to fund current spending and tax cuts rather than building a sovereign wealth fund. An economy increasingly dependent on finance, property and consumption rather than production. 🇳🇴 Norway did almost the opposite: Created the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. Retained significant public ownership in energy. Invested resource wealth for future generations. Maintained a broad industrial base alongside its financial sector. Stayed inside the European Economic Area, preserving full access to the Single Market. Britain then added Brexit on top of that divergence.

There are suggestions that Burnham may be planning to blame Thatcher for Britain's problems. Given that she was last in power 36 years ago and that you'd have to be in your mid-50s to have ever voted for her, this feels like a stretch and a half.

This man has abused his position. Check out the abuse of private planes and expenses. In any other industry you would be sacked.

Have I not been paying attention or have I detected a distinct lack of enthusiasm for 'climate' in Mr Burnham's recent utterings? As I read it, he wants to 'Save the People'. Not 'Save the Climate' Your thoughts?

Bloody hell, there are now 34 Clacton by-election candidates, the highest number ever recorded in a UK Parliamentary election. The joke by-election has become a farce. I hoped everyone opposing Far-rage would get behind @CountBinface. I bet he'd knock the spots off SOME other MPs
