Andy Burnham When Andy Burnham was initially announced to appear at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe he was still mayor of Manchester and it seemed highly unlikely he was going to become an MP - never mind become Prime Minister. He's now taken on the top job and will be in converation at the Stand 3 Comedy Club at 12.15pm on Wednesday, August 19. It's likely to be one of the hottest tickets in town. |
Us launches fresh strikes on Iran, as trump warns of retaliation for deaths of soldiers
Here's the text from the image: --- It is a great honour and privilege to have been appointed by the Prime Minister to serve as Foreign Secretary. My parents came to Britain as Jewish refugees from the Nazis. To them, Britain was both a sanctuary and a beacon of hope in the global fight against fascism. I will carry my parents' faith in that spirit of Britain to my role representing our country. I will be a Foreign Secretary who fights for Britain's interests and our values of democracy, freedom and the rule of law on the world stage. Today, as we face a time of greater instability and threat to international law and democracy than at any time since the Second World War, these values are more important than ever. From Russia's illegal war in Ukraine to conflict in the Middle East, time and again we have seen the consequences of a more dangerous world in the cost of living crisis that families and businesses face. For Britain, that means we must work with others to defend the principles that we cherish, because it is in our national interest to do so, building on the excellent work of my predecessors and friends, Yvette Cooper and David Lammy. I will seek to deepen and strengthen our strategic alliance with the European Union which is so important for our prosperity and security and at the same time nurture our strong, enduring and essential alliance with the United States. I will uphold our commitment to multilateral institutions from NATO to the UN as well as working with global partners, particularly in the Global South. Pursuing our interests and values means continuing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine against Russia's illegal invasion, as Britain has done for the last four years. It means playing our part to seek to end the conflict in Iran and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. It must also mean working tirelessly to seek a sustainable peace in Palestine and Israel, including an end to the terrible sufferi *20 July 2026*
The People of Aberdeen, in Scotland, are dancing in the streets because the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil! It is one of the Greatest Sources of quality Oil on Earth, has hundreds of years of Capacity left, with much not even found yet, and will make the United Kingdom, from a Poverty Stricken Disaster, to one of the Richest Countries anywhere in the World! Britain pays Norway Billions of Dollars a year to buy its Oil, which they get from a less valuable part of the North Sea — How ridiculous is that! Also, word is that the UK is going to move the old and horrible looking windmills, which loom over and destroy the City of Aberdeen.That will be a big day for the Country, and will be very much appreciated by everybody. Such great potential in the UK, but it all starts with OPENING NORTH SEA OIL. WE LOVE YOU SCOTLAND! President DONALD J. TRUMP

On the other side of the ideological divide, Burnham's references to hope and particularly the closing line - that's my mission as your new leader, to bring back hope. I believe in all of you and I am confident we can do it" - could have been spoken by Zack Polanski, pioneer of his own brand of left leaning populism

Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali said "If you asked Andy Burnham whether Russia has committed war crimes in Ukraine, he'd say yes. But when it comes to Gaza, he hides behind the international courts because admitting that the British government knows war crimes are being committed would trigger a legal duty to immediately halt arms sales."

Zack Polanski has called for more devolution of powers to an ultra-local level as a way to combat populism and extremism, using a speech at the annual gathering of council bigwigs to argue that too many voters currently felt disconnected from people who govern the country. Polanski, the leader of the Greens in England and Wales, is among a series of speakers at the Local Government Association conference in Bournemouth, with others today including James Murray, the health secretary, and Suella Braverman, the former Conservative MP who has defected to Reform.
Coggins was a confident voice on the panel and was clearly popular with the audience and at ease. Her framing of the debate was consistent throughout. Labour has let down Greater Manchester overall while building up the city centre with economic deals that have not benefited the wider city region. Her argument that it was time for a change from Labour will have resonated with some of the left leaning audience members.

What impact will Andy Burnham have on Zack Polanski and the Greens?
Tommy Robinson - it's about seducing women and cutting off their dicks and breasts. It's not a protest. It's industrial scale child mutilation, chemical castration. Take your queer agenda and fuck right off mate, you weirdo.
