Is it just me or are the BBC creaming their panties over the enthronement of their darling Andy Burnham?
I accidentally saw a bit of Newshite and it was just a critique- free nauseating love-in.
To think the “conservatives” have given us the most left wing government in history and now they want out vote. You only have to look at their DEI “leader” to know that they have not learned anything. I cannot ever forgive a party that landed us with Marxists.
Racist corrupt left-wing white man replaces incompetent left-wing white man as Prime Minister, to stop the election of a right-wing black woman as Prime Minister. The bucket man wants to stop the right-wing white man from becoming Prime Minister. Elon Musk supports the only competent candidate for Prime Minister.
Far-left criminal broadcaster refuses to interview anyone interviewed by Tom Robinson and Joe Rogan for three hours. The British Soviet Socialist Broadcaster complains that everyone who does not vote Labour, is a far right and correct, Christian free speech fanatic.
President Trump said that the BBC is clearly a “leftist propaganda machine” and “100 percent fake news”. Elon Musk said “The BBC is complicit in the destruction of Britain… you’re forced to pay for your own destruction, it’s insane, it’s unfair, it is wrong”
ChatGPT: Can you speculate about who the 28-year-old white male left-wing terrorist who murdered Ann Widdecombe was working for?
ChatGPT says: The Police have only confirmed that white men are responsible for the murder.
So the terrorist could have been working for the white male leader of the Labour Party. Other suspects could be evil white male criminals like Bill Gates, George Soros, Anthony Fauci and Albert Bourla.
Like Jo Rogan, she was shocked, appalled and flabbergasted by the evil statements of “You’ll own nothing and be happy” Klaus Schwab, and the coat-of-arms of the white-male satanic socialist terrorist in sheep’s clothing organisation, called the Fabian Society. So Klaus Schwab and white male members of the Fabian Society could be suspect.
According to former CIA agents. Britain is ruled by 33 evil white men. 33 Satanic Freemasons of the City of London Corporation Court, drawn from members of Farringdon Without Lodge No. 1745, Guildhall Lodge No. 3116 and the City of London Lodge of Installed Masters No 8220. All these evil left-wing white men have reached the secret fifth degree by swearing allegiance to Satan. Therefore all are suspect.
Widdecombe opposed the evil white men of the Rothschild (Epstein) and Rockefeller crime families, who support the evil white-male ideologies of Satanic Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Globalism, Big Farmer and the Communist Corporate State Monopolies.
So its no wonder that these evil left-wing ‘White Men’ wanted to murder her.
Family fortunes and yet more of those disclosable pecuniary interests in this small controversy edition
In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror editorial meetings evidently remain rather flummoxed as what to put on their front page during this awkward Labour interregnum.
Some literary reference, perhaps? “Friends, NHS heroes, countrymen, lend us your ears; We come to bury Starmer, not to praise him.
Looking over their shoulder at their tabloid rival and alter ego, The Sun, they’ll notice a punning movie reference in a diss on Burnham: The Burn supremacy… New PM seizes No10 with no mandate… Says he has a plan.. It’s back to the 70s
After thinking it over the Mirror opts to go back as far as the Blairite 90s: Showbiz exclusive… Spice up your wife… Mel C to marry model in secret Lake District ceremony this weekend – Not all that ‘secret’ now, is it?
While we’re on the subject of celeb matrimony: Who is Andy Burnham’s wife, Marie-France van Heel? – asks Jennifer McKiernan, Political reporter, BBC. It very soon gets a tad hagiographic, as you can guess: She was described as the coolest girl in college when she first started dating Andy Burnham… He was in his second year of an English Literature degree, and Burnham’s former lecturer, John Mullan, wrote in the Times that other students thought he had scooped the pools when they began dating. (BBC)
The whole nation is on a form of blind date with Burnham
Mills & Boon meets Tribune Group: Although they started dating at university, van Heel had a surprising request in the early days of their relationship, when she asked Burnham if she could go on Cilla Black’s TV dating show Blind Date – and he agreed. So in 1992, wearing flares, a bottle green jacket and a yellow headband over her bobbed blonde hair, van Heel appeared on the hit ITV programme. She chose Will from Surrey to be her date on a holiday to Gibraltar, but the pair did not hit it off. (BBC)
Having quickly reunited, Burnham and van Heel were reportedly in a bar in Parliament 12 years later when Will walked in, having become the director of communications for the Conservative Party. – Awks, as the kids would say. Coincidence, or do we get the impression our Uniparty are all drawn from a remarkably narrow little gene pool?
By this point, van Heel had given birth to their first child, Jimmy – and it was his birth in March 2000 which Burnham has said spurred them on to get married, after years of living together. – might as well make it legal, eh Andy.
“I think marriage is better for kids,” Burnham told the Daily Telegraph in 2007, adding: “I’m a bit old fashioned on these matters – although I have to admit that Jimmy, my eldest son, was at our wedding so I’m only old fashioned up to a point. – that’s the main criticism of Burnham right there – he wants to be all things to all men – so to speak – and all women of course. I hear he’s noticed the difference – just lately.
News From The Patriarchy
Our Grace Dean, BBC, writing a celeb family saga ain’t quite so romantically motivated: Brad Pitt’s children are dropping their dad’s surname – here’s why I did the same… Hannah’s parents divorced when she was a toddler and she hasn’t had much of a relationship with her dad since. She says she last saw him seven years ago and isn’t sure where he’s living now. Last month, the 25-year-old in California legally changed her surname to Leonard-Ripley, removing the reminder of her father and replacing it with a name combining her mother’s maiden name and her husband’s surname. That same month, two of the adopted children of Hollywood divorcees Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt undertook an important legal step in the process to drop their father’s surname, something they began earlier this year. (BBC) – You go, girls!
Back to backing Burnham…
There’s a discernable note of desperation evident in the Guardian’s reasoning for a punt on Andy: This is our last chance to beat the right – Burnham – so says the man himself. And one hundred per cent of our Labour MPs are going with that, despite the Corbynite rump.
He may be about as much of a far-right threat to the liberal regime as an old grandfather clock, but he’s also getting some of the Trump/Le Pen/Farage treatment: US to give $7m to thinktank founded by Rees-Mogg… the Guardian can reveal
Small controversy
Back to Burnham: Van Heel has worked in marketing and strategy for many years, notably for Sky, and has also been involved in the logo designs for the BBC and England Rugby… There has also been a small controversy over Van Heel’s current role as the chief marketing officer of Iduna, which owns large parts of Manchester’s electric vehicle charging network… As Greater Manchester Mayor, Burnham had declared his wife’s job and stepped away from all decisions about Iduna and any linked infrastructure to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest. The Conservatives complained he had not declared she held 0.2% of company shares, the Times reported, but the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) confirmed Burnham was given legal advice that no further declaration was necessary because he had already declared Van Heel as an employee.
“We are satisfied that the mayor has met his legal obligations to register disclosable pecuniary interests,” a GCMA spokesperson said. (BBC)
Well, I’m glad we’ve cleared that up. And it’s good to know the BBC’s standards & ethics committee have put their heads together and given Andy a clean bill of health.
Joshua Kerry has been named by the daily mail / PICU as the suspect murderer of Ann Widdecombe … why release that now ? No mention of his politics – or how he managed to assassinate Ann Widdecombe …. Sounds very ‘grassy knoll ‘… will he get killed in custody as well ….?
I hope in court he blames the BBC, Daily Mirror, Jeremy Vine and twats like O Brien off of LBC on the radio for indoctrinating him into his hateful actions. No doubt diminished responsibility be shoehorned in somewhere.
‘Because the investigation was upgraded to a counter-terrorism case, the evidence gathered from his digital data is legally protected under strict evidence laws and will likely not see the light of day until a formal court trial begins.’
I wonder if they did that for exactly that reason. Everyone is basically banned from talking about it. Just like the Ukrainian rent-boys.
What are the odds the trial is set for a long time in the future ?. The ban will remain until then. The murder of Jo Cox trial ended 5 months and 7 days later. Lets see how far they kick this one into the long grass.
JohnC
It was accidental – she attacked him – diminished responsibility – not certain the cause of death – As you say – court in 2029 – TTK judge – TTK Jury – crap prosecutor – dodgy expert witnesses – poor forensics …. The usual Marxist play …
And of course motivated by divisive right-wing rhetoric.
Followed by the BBC doing an article on domestic political terrorism where they focus on this real story for one paragraph then bring up every right-wing cause of trouble they can find which are not even remotely comparable but they write them up as if they are with lots of generalisation and lies by inference.
“He’s described by neighbours as quiet and low-profile, which aligns with limited visible online activity so far.”
It really doesn’t align at all. Quiet and low-profile people can be more active online and often are.
Never mind Kerry, the internet seems to have wiped Burnham’s history. Try looking up Burnham’s and mid Staffs. I had to search hard a few weeks ago to understand any problem that Burnham may have been culpable for in relation to mid-Staffs. I guess I would have to look even harder.
The Daily Mail strain to spice up the shallow plate of Joshua Kerry thin gruel handed to them by plod. (archived article) The communications team are sprinkling stuff around….
Superficially looks quite an unlikely political assassin. The link to Corbyn & Sultana is odd (and tenuous) – however … the shadowy left are busy away from the limelight.
I admit I was never a fan, but Liz Truss is ON FIRE in this video!
So from Monday, it WONT be Andy Burnham running our country.
Our new Prime Minister will be GEORGE SOROS!
Liz, sweetheart, I REALLY admire & respect your bravery for speaking out, but PLEASE be careful. x pic.twitter.com/A1DLiBhqa6

Bodybags is apparently going to allow drilling in the North Sea again …presumably all the green crap labour MPs will instantly resign their seats .
How can – one minute – closing down oil production be vital to the planet – then the next minute it’s fine ?
Unless – of course – Far Left politicians just use it as one of several weapons to destroy British britainistsn – the other being facilitated invasion – facilitated Islam and censorship through far left plod / courts ….
Not that I want either Milibrain within miles of government – it’s not like there’s any vestige of competence on the Labour benches. ( and to be clear – I don’t view D Milibrain as competent )
Radio Humberside news is run by green activist student types
So today’s 8am news headlines were
#1 “Burnham could reopen North Sea oil
this is controversial, but, but etc.”
#2 A new artificial green jet fuel factory is to be built in Immingham
(This is not new news, they’ve done the same story 20 times before
But the station feels obligated to run every local green biz press release..#PRasNews)
Strangely Radio Lincolnshire did that first story as the fourth item , but in the exact same package
That shows it’s written by national BBC HQ
The characteristics
#1Prenews kiteflying technique
“the government is expected to announce on Monday” instead of “the gov has announced”
#2 the loaded language framing it “controversial” etc.
Dunno if it’s Labour softening up their activists, or riling them up so they can then say ” we wanted oil fields, but it’s too difficult ”
Bottom line the gov really needs that tax money, and to signal to the markets that tax money from oil will be arriving in 5 years time
The new South Humber plant will convert bio-ethanol to jet fuel
Since the North Humber bio-ethanol plant closed 6 months ago cos it couldn’t compete with US prices, where will the new plant get its bio-ethanol from ?
Imports ?
Green jobs come and then they go
Almost always taxpayer grants get wasted
SAF is x1.5 to x3 the cost to buy over traditional Jet A and amazingly, the SAF label is applied to stuff that is actually 50% Jet A anyway because 100% SAF hasn’t (afaics) actually been approved for full deployment.
The companies making SAF are though, 100% reliant on tax payer grants (not loans).
It’s expensive, even when subsidised, not approved for routine use and (quite mad) inflated virtue signalling claims abound. The food >> fuel route has been known as an order of magnitude wrong cul-de-sac for several decades yet the Green blob parasites keep whipping the dead horse and dressing the whole subject up in PR lies and trousering £££££££££££ public funding for virtue signalling claptrap.
Just browsing the BBC news site and it struck me just how out of control they are now for pushing their far-Left agenda.
Ignoring the Burnham smiling and doing a ‘thumbs up’ to reflect the socialist BBC approval of his appointment, I saw another headline of a poor ‘victim’ of ‘gazundering’.
This is ‘Sarah’. This picture is on the front news page and also in the article:
Then we are ourselves victims to another BBC trick.
‘”It was awful, your heart just drops to your stomach,” says Sarah, not her real name.’
By changing her name it makes us think she is such a serious victim, she must not be identified. But why ?. We aren’t told her surname or anything. And the entire article focusses on ‘Sarah’ and we are only told casually later she has a husband and 2 kids. Where are they ?. And how on Earth did this story end up on a BBC ‘reporters’ desk ?. Did ‘Sarah’ email them ?.
And of course it’s almost 100% empathy porn again. I call this article another completely made up BBC lie. They chose something they wanted to report and made up the story to fit their agenda. Just like they did many times in Gaza.
This is the modern BBC. They stick to the rules only because they have to. If they can cheat and lie while carefully working around them, they have no conscience whatsoever about doing it.
John- I couldn’t believe it on the Naga and Charlie morning
show at 830 this morning. We saw just about the finest
party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party
produced by the BBC “unbiased” news editors. The
central theme being that the messiah has arrived . In
the guise of Andy Burnham.
But to be fair to the “Ministry of Truth” Clive Myrie does
tell us nearly every day that we can trust the BBC.
1 raise taxes straight away on upper tax level
2 taxes on whole areas to rise
3 promise of social care scheme ( finally ) jam tomorrow
4 tiny bit more on defence – book fiddling
5 promise of North Sea oil production jan tomorrow
6 more measures to crush Reform – kill farage
7 more censorship – young used to justify
8 more criminal laws to protect Muslim labour voters
9 extinguish private landlords
10 more taxes on private schools
11 promise EU referendum as part of 2029 election
12 national woke plod ‘service ‘…
13 nothing done to stop invasion
14 votes for 16 year olds within 2 years
15 labour to support legal suicide
16 no cuts in welfare
17 triple lock ended
18 breakfast clubs for all benefits parasites
19 national food bank ( free food !)
20 upset America
21 buy votes – eg pay off student debt
And double the Poll Tax on households in the South, (except Tower Hamlets), and halve the same tax in The North, except Bradford, Rotherham etc, where nobody will pay anything.
Scroblene – that’s a certainty – he ll introduce new / higher bands straight away and then promise / threaten a new valuation regime – which might be tricky even for him as people think / know they are paying too much already …
I was quite young in the 1970s so can’t get the mindset of socialist spending back then ….
It looks like the BBC (and it’s TNI teat-suckers) are going to be the only ones cheerleading Andy soon if even the Left-wing Independent are questioning him already.
I think once they put those boiler suits on something happens …and they hired that third world gimp as a joke ( notice the real copper behind laughing and walking away ) … using member of the public as a ‘test ‘…
\\ Restore Britain Faces Claims of Neo-Fascist Infiltration in Local Branches
Last updated
1 hour ago X com news
A Times investigation, based on Hope Not Hate research, alleges that individuals with histories of white nationalism and Hitler admiration hold key roles in Restore Britain branches across England.
The party, founded in February 2026 by MP Rupert Lowe after leaving Reform UK, focuses on deporting millions of illegal migrants and failed asylum seekers while targeting high-risk countries for controls. Local figures like Bolton’s Ian Neasham deny admiring Hitler but back remigration, while London organizer Lydia calls the report a smear and shares her experience as a grooming gang survivor receptive to the message //
(The Times article doxxed her real name)
Her statement
The recent Hope not Hate article is a shameful attempt to smear and misrepresent me in order to advance their own agenda. It is especially sickening that they would target someone with my background.
Full ..https://x.com/LibertyLydia/status/2078231208622801274
As I’ve said many times, nobody hates like the Left. They truly hate you just for disagreeing with their ideology. That’s the most nasty kind of hate there is.
As Rupert Lowe said last year (quoted in Great Yarmouth Mercury 09/07/2025):
When asked if Mr Lowe has any concerns about the views of some of his public supporters, the businessman said: “I have no idea who any of these people are, I’ve never even heard of them.”
“I couldn’t give a toss what these people say,” he added, in reference to Hope not Hate.
“They don’t like my views on deporting illegal migrants? Tough. I do not care. “I am going to continue pushing for the deportation of every single illegal migrant.”
The A1/M1 is the main road from London to Edinburgh.
In Northumberland it is reduced to a single carriageway and causes lots of delays.
For decades, before every General Election, all Parties have promised to dual this part of the A1
Whichever Party won always found an excuse not to do it and it’s still a single carriageway.
When the different Party’s start saying, again, they will dual this road then that’s a signal there’s a General Election coming.
If I hear them saying this again I’ll let you know as a GE will be coming.
EG
I’ve been trying to think that one through – there are so many variables – now that the ‘anyone but TTK ‘ has been taken out of the equation I think the biggest driver will simply be that bodybags will want to get some time in …. So he won’t go in less than a year ….
… but ironically outside factors might have a bigger effect – such as thd Iran war – which I hope is restarting and Trump finally realises he has to regime change – otherwise Iran will always be the big enemy and will attack Israel directly one day …
The uk economy will continue to tank – oil drilling will take ages – so no benefit there – inflation staying up if oil prices rise again – state borrowing getting more expensive – all in the lead to 2029 ….
Will they have killed Farage by then ? Widdecombe is the test – can Reforn succeed without Farage ?
As I say – so many variables …. Maybe rejoining the EU will be the carrot for burnham to win a real general election – on top of the Obama Biden fiddling in key constituencies to supplement Muslim corruption ….
Isn’t it weird that a third runway at Heathrow and the Elizabeth Line, and even HS2 are deemed good for growth. But you try and improve a road, the normal choice of transport for 85% of the population, and the government comes up with ‘it might increase pollution and encourage car use’. So the real way to achieve growth, and make most people’s lives a little better, is thrown down the toilet.
The BBC, with its HQ next to a tube station, and chauffeur-driven ‘top talent’ haven’t got a clue.
Pathetically the green ecoloonies persuaded the Tories as well as Labour of this.
BTW we always went up on the A697. Lower usage gave more opportunities to overtake.
We always take the road up to Corbridge and Jedburgh and find it fast (staying within the speed limits of course) with little traffic. And not too many lorries. It is a lot further going up the A1.
Reform now has its own crime commissioner – the independent land of Norfolk … not really sure what a crime commissioner is – a sort of ‘fourth official ‘ apologist for corrupt plod ? VAR ?
Apparently there are still a few people in this once fair and free country of ours, who refuse to believe that we have a two tier justice system…It’s unlikely that I’m going convince them otherwise, but here goes…
With the tragic Henry Novak case we actually heard our brainwashed and brainless police mocking a white boy as he lay drowning in his own blood. He was ridiculed and then handcuffed, though his murderer wasn’t.
So, the boy they thought was “guilty” of using racist words was handcuffed, but the Sikh bloke who they knew had stabbed him wasn’t. Try to make sense of that because I can’t…
Now, Vickrum Digwa’s mother, who did absolutely nothing to aid the dying English lad, but took away the murder weapon, has been handed a risible sentence of three years. Which, in effect, will mean, she will be out before Christmas.
So, there you have it. Lucy Connolly, who wrote a few unfortunate words on Twitter received three years. Digwa’s mum, who ignored a dying white lad and then concealed a murder weapon got three years.
Any foreigner who commits a crime that warrants a jail sentence of 12 months or greater, including a suspended sentence, can be expelled from the UK (in place since 2024 and confirmed in Sentencing Act 2026). This law needs to be applied regardless of immigration status i.e. it would automatically override and cancel any claim to asylum or refugee status. Similarly, anyone who had acquired citizenship through naturalisation would automatically lose that citizenship and be deported. So-called dual nationals would also qualify.
I thought Digwa’s mum’s sentence pathetic. She wasn’t just an accessory after the fact, I suggest she was an active participant in the murder as Henty Nowak’s life might have been saved if she’s been honest. The charge could have been Manslaughter but I guess proving beyond reasonable doubt would have been hard.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey boasted about BLOCKING gas pipelines in her state and then complained that they can’t get gas… pic.twitter.com/CBGqh4VLXb
My usual message to Al Beeb, the UK Government and all our MPs – “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Beware of the next General Election. Many of you could be looking for new jobs?
I hope she gets provoked into legal action. She’s a crook, we all know it – and the people we employ to catch crooks are letting her go …. We’ve seen no examination of her finances or BIK estimates from Mr Murrell’s antics.
I’ve only met him once, but it was like meeting an empty suit. There is no intelligence or person present at all. This made him an ideal bag carrier for years.
But there is even less of a hinterland to Burnham than Starmer, the man who doesn’t dream. The country is going to… https://t.co/x25Ya8F2Ar
Both the mail and telegraph have now named the Ann Widdecombe suspect – this is PICU preparing the ground for the Saturday night / Sunday early charge ….
… we won’t get any more facts than the charge – then the British state will bury the story even before Ann Widdecombe is buried . Can’t believe I’ve written that last bit …
President Trump says that members of the Deep State in our intelligence agencies worked to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election meddling—covering it up from both the President and the American People: https://www.whitehouse.gov/election-integrity/
However, legal actions against the BBC and MI6 could mean that some British plots against President Trump will remain secret until after the Florida trials. The White House page on the BBC: https://www.whitehouse.gov/media-bias-publication/the-bbc/
When you think about it, the majority of news staffers, including the BBC contingent have arrived in their jobs via more or less the same route…. secondary school being indoctrinated by state payed lefty teachers, university being preached at and fine-tuned by even more left-wing tutors both professions having no grounding in “earning” a living or being cost effective basically just showing up to draw a nice salary. It is no surprise then that the majority of people going through this Marxist educational meat grinder who end up in news reporting are conditioned into the hate of conservatism and the unquestioning blinkered faith in left-wing philosophies.
Burnham who demanded that we must lockdown for everybody’s safety and then said he wouldn’t impose a lockdown unless he got more money from the government….so….in his own terms, puts peoples’ lives at risk in order to score political points.

I was just watching a couple of clips of Burnham reading his recent speech on GBNews. His delivery was little better than Starmer’s. It was wooden and halting.
Speaking 3 weeks ago to a visiting BT engineer on the prospects of England in the WC ( 😆 wc now being true) – he was of the fervour opinion that Englnd was going to bring the “Cup home”. In my aged wisdom I said they won’t because the occasion always overwhelms them and they bottle it ! And so it was ever thus …….
Tonight they score 4 goals ! though France pulled back 2 – but now the pressure is off they come good. And so it was ever thus …..
‘We have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.’
Hmmmm…..so the great extremist far-right anti-Islam terror threat that immediate police action stopped in its tracks and ‘saved lives’ was a great big nothing…as we suspected….possibly timed and exaggerated to divert attention from Widdecombe’s murder and hype the idea that Muslims are the real victims in Britain…
‘Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: “This has been a fast-moving investigation after we became aware of information to indicate there was a potential threat towards the Islamic event over the course of last weekend.
“Since then, we have made extensive inquiries, but at this time, we have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.‘
Whilst the initial report from the BBC about the ‘threat’ was the second most prominent on its front page, next to Widdecombe, the retraction is a quiet little story on the UK page.
Apparently some local people flew a drone over the grounds of the park
To film the Islamic conference.
And that became the media report “Starmer says police have saved lives by arresting 13 far right terrorists”
British states looks for a distraction from far left murder by concocting a non far right ‘terrorism ‘ .., all 12 released No further action.. we are really played by 77 brigade and effing PICU – right kids ?
The French are stopping this man from swimming to the UK, but let hundreds of small boat migrants cross the channel, aided and escorted by their own vessels.
The Sunday iteration of the Guardian that is the Observer promotes a current affairs cartoonist to full front page exposure – but for my money (a stonking bank-busting £4.50 cover price) the effort is way over-large, over-blown and goes over the head.
So while our mate Matt in the Telegraph combines news of the nation’s football disappointment with the inauguration of a new New Labour new PM – sketching an everyday workaday couple watching their TV screen announce ‘Burnham’s Vision’ and remarking: “If the World Cup has taught us anything, it’s that we shouldn’t get our hopes up” – yours for £4 a pop.
And while the Sunday Times priced at an extraordinary five quid (Fiver, Lady Godiva, deep sea diver – or in non-welfare sick-note-Yookay conservative terms: an alarm clock British “Striver”) goes with their suspiciously left-leaning in-house comic Newman in anthropomorphic mood sketching Larry the Number 10 cat reading a newspaper headline ‘New PM’ to some Jerry the Mouse figure and commenting “Seventh time lucky”
Because just like a born again Christian wearing a rubber wrist band emblazoned with the motto “What would Jesus do?” as their constant aide-mémoire – criticise Labour leadership revolving door premiership shenanigans and you’ll get the left-leaning off-the-cuff reply “Liz Truss”
As for the Observer full page Andy as Odysseus cartoon, we hear Burnham read English Lit rather that the classics, and surely Boris was our last ever Greek scholar PM, but in-house pretensions and cartoonist Chris Riddell conjure Burnham’s odyssey of his legendary route back down to Westminster from that crazy mythic Lotus-eating (read MDMA ?) island of Madchester. Nod and a wink of course to the current Christopher Nolan movie.
Inevitably there’s a culture wars issues over this movie – the latest up tick in a conflict now waging for about as long as that Trojan original – or that Ukraine thing Keir Starmer got awarded his French medal of honour for (If those latter two concepts combined isn’t an oxymoron)
Left-leaning Variety mag has got the academics in for a screening and reassures itself: …so much of the conversation has been about how ‘woke’ or progressive this film was going to be… actually… it’s a very conservative film. The roles for women are constrained. The interracial casting is women of color who just get to be married to white men, which is not progressive
Burnham’s coming travails as PM seem to be rather more Herculean than Odyssean.
How to master the multi-headed hydra of public sector pay demands and the ever- burgeoning welfare bill – whilst taming the Nemean Lion of his socialist Labour back benchers?
One thing is for sure – he’s very much just another creature of the regime – and certainly not the man to Clean the Augean Stables.

Is it just me or are the BBC creaming their panties over the enthronement of their darling Andy Burnham?
I accidentally saw a bit of Newshite and it was just a critique- free nauseating love-in.
To think the “conservatives” have given us the most left wing government in history and now they want out vote. You only have to look at their DEI “leader” to know that they have not learned anything. I cannot ever forgive a party that landed us with Marxists.
Shame we do not have someone like this as Attorney General
More from Mr Rubio on left wing violence.
See why the BBC / Guardian aren’t keen to report this ….
Racist corrupt left-wing white man replaces incompetent left-wing white man as Prime Minister, to stop the election of a right-wing black woman as Prime Minister. The bucket man wants to stop the right-wing white man from becoming Prime Minister. Elon Musk supports the only competent candidate for Prime Minister.
Far-left criminal broadcaster refuses to interview anyone interviewed by Tom Robinson and Joe Rogan for three hours. The British Soviet Socialist Broadcaster complains that everyone who does not vote Labour, is a far right and correct, Christian free speech fanatic.
President Trump said that the BBC is clearly a “leftist propaganda machine” and “100 percent fake news”. Elon Musk said “The BBC is complicit in the destruction of Britain… you’re forced to pay for your own destruction, it’s insane, it’s unfair, it is wrong”
ChatGPT: Can you speculate about who the 28-year-old white male left-wing terrorist who murdered Ann Widdecombe was working for?
ChatGPT says: The Police have only confirmed that white men are responsible for the murder.
So the terrorist could have been working for the white male leader of the Labour Party. Other suspects could be evil white male criminals like Bill Gates, George Soros, Anthony Fauci and Albert Bourla.
Like Jo Rogan, she was shocked, appalled and flabbergasted by the evil statements of “You’ll own nothing and be happy” Klaus Schwab, and the coat-of-arms of the white-male satanic socialist terrorist in sheep’s clothing organisation, called the Fabian Society. So Klaus Schwab and white male members of the Fabian Society could be suspect.
According to former CIA agents. Britain is ruled by 33 evil white men. 33 Satanic Freemasons of the City of London Corporation Court, drawn from members of Farringdon Without Lodge No. 1745, Guildhall Lodge No. 3116 and the City of London Lodge of Installed Masters No 8220. All these evil left-wing white men have reached the secret fifth degree by swearing allegiance to Satan. Therefore all are suspect.
Widdecombe opposed the evil white men of the Rothschild (Epstein) and Rockefeller crime families, who support the evil white-male ideologies of Satanic Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Globalism, Big Farmer and the Communist Corporate State Monopolies.
So its no wonder that these evil left-wing ‘White Men’ wanted to murder her.
Family fortunes and yet more of those disclosable pecuniary interests in this small controversy edition
In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror editorial meetings evidently remain rather flummoxed as what to put on their front page during this awkward Labour interregnum.
Some literary reference, perhaps? “Friends, NHS heroes, countrymen, lend us your ears; We come to bury Starmer, not to praise him.
Looking over their shoulder at their tabloid rival and alter ego, The Sun, they’ll notice a punning movie reference in a diss on Burnham: The Burn supremacy… New PM seizes No10 with no mandate… Says he has a plan.. It’s back to the 70s
After thinking it over the Mirror opts to go back as far as the Blairite 90s: Showbiz exclusive… Spice up your wife… Mel C to marry model in secret Lake District ceremony this weekend – Not all that ‘secret’ now, is it?
While we’re on the subject of celeb matrimony: Who is Andy Burnham’s wife, Marie-France van Heel? – asks Jennifer McKiernan, Political reporter, BBC. It very soon gets a tad hagiographic, as you can guess: She was described as the coolest girl in college when she first started dating Andy Burnham… He was in his second year of an English Literature degree, and Burnham’s former lecturer, John Mullan, wrote in the Times that other students thought he had scooped the pools when they began dating. (BBC)
The whole nation is on a form of blind date with Burnham
Mills & Boon meets Tribune Group: Although they started dating at university, van Heel had a surprising request in the early days of their relationship, when she asked Burnham if she could go on Cilla Black’s TV dating show Blind Date – and he agreed. So in 1992, wearing flares, a bottle green jacket and a yellow headband over her bobbed blonde hair, van Heel appeared on the hit ITV programme. She chose Will from Surrey to be her date on a holiday to Gibraltar, but the pair did not hit it off. (BBC)
Having quickly reunited, Burnham and van Heel were reportedly in a bar in Parliament 12 years later when Will walked in, having become the director of communications for the Conservative Party. – Awks, as the kids would say. Coincidence, or do we get the impression our Uniparty are all drawn from a remarkably narrow little gene pool?
By this point, van Heel had given birth to their first child, Jimmy – and it was his birth in March 2000 which Burnham has said spurred them on to get married, after years of living together. – might as well make it legal, eh Andy.
“I think marriage is better for kids,” Burnham told the Daily Telegraph in 2007, adding: “I’m a bit old fashioned on these matters – although I have to admit that Jimmy, my eldest son, was at our wedding so I’m only old fashioned up to a point. – that’s the main criticism of Burnham right there – he wants to be all things to all men – so to speak – and all women of course. I hear he’s noticed the difference – just lately.
News From The Patriarchy
Our Grace Dean, BBC, writing a celeb family saga ain’t quite so romantically motivated: Brad Pitt’s children are dropping their dad’s surname – here’s why I did the same… Hannah’s parents divorced when she was a toddler and she hasn’t had much of a relationship with her dad since. She says she last saw him seven years ago and isn’t sure where he’s living now. Last month, the 25-year-old in California legally changed her surname to Leonard-Ripley, removing the reminder of her father and replacing it with a name combining her mother’s maiden name and her husband’s surname. That same month, two of the adopted children of Hollywood divorcees Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt undertook an important legal step in the process to drop their father’s surname, something they began earlier this year. (BBC) – You go, girls!
Back to backing Burnham…
There’s a discernable note of desperation evident in the Guardian’s reasoning for a punt on Andy: This is our last chance to beat the right – Burnham – so says the man himself. And one hundred per cent of our Labour MPs are going with that, despite the Corbynite rump.
He may be about as much of a far-right threat to the liberal regime as an old grandfather clock, but he’s also getting some of the Trump/Le Pen/Farage treatment: US to give $7m to thinktank founded by Rees-Mogg… the Guardian can reveal
Small controversy
Back to Burnham: Van Heel has worked in marketing and strategy for many years, notably for Sky, and has also been involved in the logo designs for the BBC and England Rugby… There has also been a small controversy over Van Heel’s current role as the chief marketing officer of Iduna, which owns large parts of Manchester’s electric vehicle charging network… As Greater Manchester Mayor, Burnham had declared his wife’s job and stepped away from all decisions about Iduna and any linked infrastructure to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest. The Conservatives complained he had not declared she held 0.2% of company shares, the Times reported, but the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) confirmed Burnham was given legal advice that no further declaration was necessary because he had already declared Van Heel as an employee.
“We are satisfied that the mayor has met his legal obligations to register disclosable pecuniary interests,” a GCMA spokesperson said. (BBC)
Well, I’m glad we’ve cleared that up. And it’s good to know the BBC’s standards & ethics committee have put their heads together and given Andy a clean bill of health.
Joshua Kerry has been named by the daily mail / PICU as the suspect murderer of Ann Widdecombe … why release that now ? No mention of his politics – or how he managed to assassinate Ann Widdecombe …. Sounds very ‘grassy knoll ‘… will he get killed in custody as well ….?
I hope in court he blames the BBC, Daily Mirror, Jeremy Vine and twats like O Brien off of LBC on the radio for indoctrinating him into his hateful actions. No doubt diminished responsibility be shoehorned in somewhere.
see the Charlotte Gill interview for the web of lefty “behind the curtain” influence ops running at the moment
Will OffCon investigate the Widdecombe hate-page on the internet now deleted by Hope to Hate?
Is there a law against grooming Manchurian Candidates?
Grok suggests vaguely that the establishment have wiped Kerry’s social media
.. https://x.com/grok/status/2078335715876762106
Bizarre coincidence that there is a recent Pravada like PR story
‘Boy take cakes to Mosques’
And that Scottish boy has the same name Joshua Kerry
https://news.stv.tv/west-central/boy-12-brings-cupcakes-to-glasgow-mosque-as-part-of-cake-not-hate-campaign
AI halluicination?
‘Because the investigation was upgraded to a counter-terrorism case, the evidence gathered from his digital data is legally protected under strict evidence laws and will likely not see the light of day until a formal court trial begins.’
I wonder if they did that for exactly that reason. Everyone is basically banned from talking about it. Just like the Ukrainian rent-boys.
What are the odds the trial is set for a long time in the future ?. The ban will remain until then. The murder of Jo Cox trial ended 5 months and 7 days later. Lets see how far they kick this one into the long grass.
JohnC
It was accidental – she attacked him – diminished responsibility – not certain the cause of death – As you say – court in 2029 – TTK judge – TTK Jury – crap prosecutor – dodgy expert witnesses – poor forensics …. The usual Marxist play …
And of course motivated by divisive right-wing rhetoric.
Followed by the BBC doing an article on domestic political terrorism where they focus on this real story for one paragraph then bring up every right-wing cause of trouble they can find which are not even remotely comparable but they write them up as if they are with lots of generalisation and lies by inference.
Stew, this bit
“He’s described by neighbours as quiet and low-profile, which aligns with limited visible online activity so far.”
It really doesn’t align at all. Quiet and low-profile people can be more active online and often are.
Yes might be operating under 5 online profiles, maybe 4 of those masquerading as women.
Yes, I thought similar – some places are showing IT support roles
Never mind Kerry, the internet seems to have wiped Burnham’s history. Try looking up Burnham’s and mid Staffs. I had to search hard a few weeks ago to understand any problem that Burnham may have been culpable for in relation to mid-Staffs. I guess I would have to look even harder.
The Daily Mail strain to spice up the shallow plate of Joshua Kerry thin gruel handed to them by plod. (archived article) The communications team are sprinkling stuff around….
Superficially looks quite an unlikely political assassin. The link to Corbyn & Sultana is odd (and tenuous) – however … the shadowy left are busy away from the limelight.
Bodybags is apparently going to allow drilling in the North Sea again …presumably all the green crap labour MPs will instantly resign their seats .
How can – one minute – closing down oil production be vital to the planet – then the next minute it’s fine ?
Unless – of course – Far Left politicians just use it as one of several weapons to destroy British britainistsn – the other being facilitated invasion – facilitated Islam and censorship through far left plod / courts ….
You are forgetting Fed, it’s only wrong when other people do it.
Cue the BBC telling us how much better off we will be because of it and he had no choice really.
Ed will resign – but David will be brought in?
Tomo -no – David is too much of a threat to bodybags – he is still ambitious for the top job …
Depends who’s pulling the strings? – no?
Not that I want either Milibrain within miles of government – it’s not like there’s any vestige of competence on the Labour benches. ( and to be clear – I don’t view D Milibrain as competent )
bbc reports..
Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling
How does the bbc know? the bbc is just propaganda for the state
More drip fed info to follow
Radio Humberside news is run by green activist student types
So today’s 8am news headlines were
#1 “Burnham could reopen North Sea oil
this is controversial, but, but etc.”
#2 A new artificial green jet fuel factory is to be built in Immingham
(This is not new news, they’ve done the same story 20 times before
But the station feels obligated to run every local green biz press release..#PRasNews)
Strangely Radio Lincolnshire did that first story as the fourth item , but in the exact same package
That shows it’s written by national BBC HQ
The characteristics
#1Prenews kiteflying technique
“the government is expected to announce on Monday” instead of “the gov has announced”
#2 the loaded language framing it “controversial” etc.
Dunno if it’s Labour softening up their activists, or riling them up so they can then say ” we wanted oil fields, but it’s too difficult ”
Bottom line the gov really needs that tax money, and to signal to the markets that tax money from oil will be arriving in 5 years time
SAF is yet another eco scam
The new South Humber plant will convert bio-ethanol to jet fuel
Since the North Humber bio-ethanol plant closed 6 months ago cos it couldn’t compete with US prices, where will the new plant get its bio-ethanol from ?
Imports ?
Green jobs come and then they go
Almost always taxpayer grants get wasted
SAF is x1.5 to x3 the cost to buy over traditional Jet A and amazingly, the SAF label is applied to stuff that is actually 50% Jet A anyway because 100% SAF hasn’t (afaics) actually been approved for full deployment.
The companies making SAF are though, 100% reliant on tax payer grants (not loans).
It’s expensive, even when subsidised, not approved for routine use and (quite mad) inflated virtue signalling claims abound. The food >> fuel route has been known as an order of magnitude wrong cul-de-sac for several decades yet the Green blob parasites keep whipping the dead horse and dressing the whole subject up in PR lies and trousering £££££££££££ public funding for virtue signalling claptrap.
Just browsing the BBC news site and it struck me just how out of control they are now for pushing their far-Left agenda.
Ignoring the Burnham smiling and doing a ‘thumbs up’ to reflect the socialist BBC approval of his appointment, I saw another headline of a poor ‘victim’ of ‘gazundering’.
This is ‘Sarah’. This picture is on the front news page and also in the article:

Then we are ourselves victims to another BBC trick.
‘”It was awful, your heart just drops to your stomach,” says Sarah, not her real name.’
By changing her name it makes us think she is such a serious victim, she must not be identified. But why ?. We aren’t told her surname or anything. And the entire article focusses on ‘Sarah’ and we are only told casually later she has a husband and 2 kids. Where are they ?. And how on Earth did this story end up on a BBC ‘reporters’ desk ?. Did ‘Sarah’ email them ?.
And of course it’s almost 100% empathy porn again. I call this article another completely made up BBC lie. They chose something they wanted to report and made up the story to fit their agenda. Just like they did many times in Gaza.
Here’s ‘Sarah’ again. Worrying how to pay for a funeral in 2021. The exact same picture.
https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/how-to-pay-for-funeral/
This is the modern BBC. They stick to the rules only because they have to. If they can cheat and lie while carefully working around them, they have no conscience whatsoever about doing it.
Yes I think I have seen that photo library stock image on multiple BBC news articles
Signals ‘look victims are non-white’
John- I couldn’t believe it on the Naga and Charlie morning
show at 830 this morning. We saw just about the finest
party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party
produced by the BBC “unbiased” news editors. The
central theme being that the messiah has arrived . In
the guise of Andy Burnham.
But to be fair to the “Ministry of Truth” Clive Myrie does
tell us nearly every day that we can trust the BBC.
She clearly sports the same ‘do’ that fits the BBC topiary narrative.
Predictions for the bodybags regime
1 raise taxes straight away on upper tax level
2 taxes on whole areas to rise
3 promise of social care scheme ( finally ) jam tomorrow
4 tiny bit more on defence – book fiddling
5 promise of North Sea oil production jan tomorrow
6 more measures to crush Reform – kill farage
7 more censorship – young used to justify
8 more criminal laws to protect Muslim labour voters
9 extinguish private landlords
10 more taxes on private schools
11 promise EU referendum as part of 2029 election
12 national woke plod ‘service ‘…
13 nothing done to stop invasion
14 votes for 16 year olds within 2 years
15 labour to support legal suicide
16 no cuts in welfare
17 triple lock ended
18 breakfast clubs for all benefits parasites
19 national food bank ( free food !)
20 upset America
21 buy votes – eg pay off student debt
And double the Poll Tax on households in the South, (except Tower Hamlets), and halve the same tax in The North, except Bradford, Rotherham etc, where nobody will pay anything.
Scroblene – that’s a certainty – he ll introduce new / higher bands straight away and then promise / threaten a new valuation regime – which might be tricky even for him as people think / know they are paying too much already …
I was quite young in the 1970s so can’t get the mindset of socialist spending back then ….
Whatever the taxes, it will be an ideal opportunity to watch the Laffer Curve in action.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve
Back then we only had the press and the BBC to give us any info ……..
22. Add Islamic prayer rooms to steel blast furnace sites – to get religious tax exemptions
And get terminal ADHD for more benefits, and therefore huge discounts on Poll Tax demands, while driving around in Motability Merc.
The ‘sicker’ you can fake, the less tax you’ll pay!
A Socialist wet-dream.
Burnham’s speech was one of the most backwards-looking I’ve ever heard
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/andy-burnham-speech-labour-leader-1970s-b3016899.html
It looks like the BBC (and it’s TNI teat-suckers) are going to be the only ones cheerleading Andy soon if even the Left-wing Independent are questioning him already.
Dixon of Dock Green wouldn’t be impressed.
I think once they put those boiler suits on something happens …and they hired that third world gimp as a joke ( notice the real copper behind laughing and walking away ) … using member of the public as a ‘test ‘…
\\ Restore Britain Faces Claims of Neo-Fascist Infiltration in Local Branches
Last updated
1 hour ago X com news
A Times investigation, based on Hope Not Hate research, alleges that individuals with histories of white nationalism and Hitler admiration hold key roles in Restore Britain branches across England.
The party, founded in February 2026 by MP Rupert Lowe after leaving Reform UK, focuses on deporting millions of illegal migrants and failed asylum seekers while targeting high-risk countries for controls. Local figures like Bolton’s Ian Neasham deny admiring Hitler but back remigration, while London organizer Lydia calls the report a smear and shares her experience as a grooming gang survivor receptive to the message //
(The Times article doxxed her real name)
Her statement
The recent Hope not Hate article is a shameful attempt to smear and misrepresent me in order to advance their own agenda. It is especially sickening that they would target someone with my background.
Full ..https://x.com/LibertyLydia/status/2078231208622801274
These far-Left activist groups are absolute definition of hypocrites.
Here they focus on Tommy Robinson. You can feel their hatred oozing out of every sentence.
https://hopenothate.org.uk/who-is-tommy-robinson/#key-info
As I’ve said many times, nobody hates like the Left. They truly hate you just for disagreeing with their ideology. That’s the most nasty kind of hate there is.
As Rupert Lowe said last year (quoted in Great Yarmouth Mercury 09/07/2025):
When asked if Mr Lowe has any concerns about the views of some of his public supporters, the businessman said: “I have no idea who any of these people are, I’ve never even heard of them.”
“I couldn’t give a toss what these people say,” he added, in reference to Hope not Hate.
“They don’t like my views on deporting illegal migrants? Tough. I do not care. “I am going to continue pushing for the deportation of every single illegal migrant.”
https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co.uk/news/25298414.norfolk-mp-rupert-lowe-branded-britains-extreme/
This recent post by History Debunked highlights the link between one of Hope Not Hate’s senior figures and the incoming un-mandated Burnham regime.
The A1/M1 is the main road from London to Edinburgh.
In Northumberland it is reduced to a single carriageway and causes lots of delays.
For decades, before every General Election, all Parties have promised to dual this part of the A1
Whichever Party won always found an excuse not to do it and it’s still a single carriageway.
When the different Party’s start saying, again, they will dual this road then that’s a signal there’s a General Election coming.
If I hear them saying this again I’ll let you know as a GE will be coming.
EG
I’ve been trying to think that one through – there are so many variables – now that the ‘anyone but TTK ‘ has been taken out of the equation I think the biggest driver will simply be that bodybags will want to get some time in …. So he won’t go in less than a year ….
… but ironically outside factors might have a bigger effect – such as thd Iran war – which I hope is restarting and Trump finally realises he has to regime change – otherwise Iran will always be the big enemy and will attack Israel directly one day …
The uk economy will continue to tank – oil drilling will take ages – so no benefit there – inflation staying up if oil prices rise again – state borrowing getting more expensive – all in the lead to 2029 ….
Will they have killed Farage by then ? Widdecombe is the test – can Reforn succeed without Farage ?
As I say – so many variables …. Maybe rejoining the EU will be the carrot for burnham to win a real general election – on top of the Obama Biden fiddling in key constituencies to supplement Muslim corruption ….
Isn’t it weird that a third runway at Heathrow and the Elizabeth Line, and even HS2 are deemed good for growth. But you try and improve a road, the normal choice of transport for 85% of the population, and the government comes up with ‘it might increase pollution and encourage car use’. So the real way to achieve growth, and make most people’s lives a little better, is thrown down the toilet.
The BBC, with its HQ next to a tube station, and chauffeur-driven ‘top talent’ haven’t got a clue.
Pathetically the green ecoloonies persuaded the Tories as well as Labour of this.
BTW we always went up on the A697. Lower usage gave more opportunities to overtake.
We always take the road up to Corbridge and Jedburgh and find it fast (staying within the speed limits of course) with little traffic. And not too many lorries. It is a lot further going up the A1.
Reform now has its own crime commissioner – the independent land of Norfolk … not really sure what a crime commissioner is – a sort of ‘fourth official ‘ apologist for corrupt plod ? VAR ?
Apparently there are still a few people in this once fair and free country of ours, who refuse to believe that we have a two tier justice system…It’s unlikely that I’m going convince them otherwise, but here goes…
With the tragic Henry Novak case we actually heard our brainwashed and brainless police mocking a white boy as he lay drowning in his own blood. He was ridiculed and then handcuffed, though his murderer wasn’t.
So, the boy they thought was “guilty” of using racist words was handcuffed, but the Sikh bloke who they knew had stabbed him wasn’t. Try to make sense of that because I can’t…
Now, Vickrum Digwa’s mother, who did absolutely nothing to aid the dying English lad, but took away the murder weapon, has been handed a risible sentence of three years. Which, in effect, will mean, she will be out before Christmas.
So, there you have it. Lucy Connolly, who wrote a few unfortunate words on Twitter received three years. Digwa’s mum, who ignored a dying white lad and then concealed a murder weapon got three years.
Nothing two-tier about that, is there?
Very shortly this country is going to go pop…
Any foreigner who commits a crime that warrants a jail sentence of 12 months or greater, including a suspended sentence, can be expelled from the UK (in place since 2024 and confirmed in Sentencing Act 2026). This law needs to be applied regardless of immigration status i.e. it would automatically override and cancel any claim to asylum or refugee status. Similarly, anyone who had acquired citizenship through naturalisation would automatically lose that citizenship and be deported. So-called dual nationals would also qualify.
#MillionsMustGo
Can. But won’t.
I thought Digwa’s mum’s sentence pathetic. She wasn’t just an accessory after the fact, I suggest she was an active participant in the murder as Henty Nowak’s life might have been saved if she’s been honest. The charge could have been Manslaughter but I guess proving beyond reasonable doubt would have been hard.
BBC calmly announce that Burnham is to open new North Sea oil and gas fields…..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c935yx2z9d4o
Imagine the different treatment the same announcement would get from the BBC if it came from a Reform or Conservative MP!
There would be a torrent of abuse…
Couldn’t help thinking of this:

Hence the term “Two tier”.

When you think about it, the majority of news staffers, including the BBC contingent have arrived in their jobs via more or less the same route…. secondary school being indoctrinated by state payed lefty teachers, university being preached at and fine-tuned by even more left-wing tutors both professions having no grounding in “earning” a living or being cost effective basically just showing up to draw a nice salary. It is no surprise then that the majority of people going through this Marxist educational meat grinder who end up in news reporting are conditioned into the hate of conservatism and the unquestioning blinkered faith in left-wing philosophies.

It’s not like the empty suit is new….
Burnham who demanded that we must lockdown for everybody’s safety and then said he wouldn’t impose a lockdown unless he got more money from the government….so….in his own terms, puts peoples’ lives at risk in order to score political points.

I was just watching a couple of clips of Burnham reading his recent speech on GBNews. His delivery was little better than Starmer’s. It was wooden and halting.
Probably a tit hypnotiser too?
He’s the now most qualified candidate to enter the Senate………
The latest piece of information about the Ann Widdecombe suspect is that he is a member of the Corbyn party ….
Wonder if that is true – on intel plant …?
They’ve got until Tuesday to charge him ….
The world cup turns into the Africa cup tonight – i think 20 player are from the dark continent- playing the game of shame …
Speaking 3 weeks ago to a visiting BT engineer on the prospects of England in the WC ( 😆 wc now being true) – he was of the fervour opinion that Englnd was going to bring the “Cup home”. In my aged wisdom I said they won’t because the occasion always overwhelms them and they bottle it ! And so it was ever thus …….
Tonight they score 4 goals ! though France pulled back 2 – but now the pressure is off they come good. And so it was ever thus …..
‘We have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.’
Hmmmm…..so the great extremist far-right anti-Islam terror threat that immediate police action stopped in its tracks and ‘saved lives’ was a great big nothing…as we suspected….possibly timed and exaggerated to divert attention from Widdecombe’s murder and hype the idea that Muslims are the real victims in Britain…
‘Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: “This has been a fast-moving investigation after we became aware of information to indicate there was a potential threat towards the Islamic event over the course of last weekend.
“Since then, we have made extensive inquiries, but at this time, we have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.‘
Whilst the initial report from the BBC about the ‘threat’ was the second most prominent on its front page, next to Widdecombe, the retraction is a quiet little story on the UK page.
Apparently some local people flew a drone over the grounds of the park
To film the Islamic conference.
And that became the media report “Starmer says police have saved lives by arresting 13 far right terrorists”
Laurence Fox already called it on Tuesday
British states looks for a distraction from far left murder by concocting a non far right ‘terrorism ‘ .., all 12 released No further action.. we are really played by 77 brigade and effing PICU – right kids ?
Islamic far right event?
Meanwhile – a channel crossing denied…
The Sunday iteration of the Guardian that is the Observer promotes a current affairs cartoonist to full front page exposure – but for my money (a stonking bank-busting £4.50 cover price) the effort is way over-large, over-blown and goes over the head.
So while our mate Matt in the Telegraph combines news of the nation’s football disappointment with the inauguration of a new New Labour new PM – sketching an everyday workaday couple watching their TV screen announce ‘Burnham’s Vision’ and remarking: “If the World Cup has taught us anything, it’s that we shouldn’t get our hopes up” – yours for £4 a pop.
And while the Sunday Times priced at an extraordinary five quid (Fiver, Lady Godiva, deep sea diver – or in non-welfare sick-note-Yookay conservative terms: an alarm clock British “Striver”) goes with their suspiciously left-leaning in-house comic Newman in anthropomorphic mood sketching Larry the Number 10 cat reading a newspaper headline ‘New PM’ to some Jerry the Mouse figure and commenting “Seventh time lucky”
Because just like a born again Christian wearing a rubber wrist band emblazoned with the motto “What would Jesus do?” as their constant aide-mémoire – criticise Labour leadership revolving door premiership shenanigans and you’ll get the left-leaning off-the-cuff reply “Liz Truss”
As for the Observer full page Andy as Odysseus cartoon, we hear Burnham read English Lit rather that the classics, and surely Boris was our last ever Greek scholar PM, but in-house pretensions and cartoonist Chris Riddell conjure Burnham’s odyssey of his legendary route back down to Westminster from that crazy mythic Lotus-eating (read MDMA ?) island of Madchester. Nod and a wink of course to the current Christopher Nolan movie.
Inevitably there’s a culture wars issues over this movie – the latest up tick in a conflict now waging for about as long as that Trojan original – or that Ukraine thing Keir Starmer got awarded his French medal of honour for (If those latter two concepts combined isn’t an oxymoron)
Left-leaning Variety mag has got the academics in for a screening and reassures itself: …so much of the conversation has been about how ‘woke’ or progressive this film was going to be… actually… it’s a very conservative film. The roles for women are constrained. The interracial casting is women of color who just get to be married to white men, which is not progressive
Burnham’s coming travails as PM seem to be rather more Herculean than Odyssean.
How to master the multi-headed hydra of public sector pay demands and the ever- burgeoning welfare bill – whilst taming the Nemean Lion of his socialist Labour back benchers?
One thing is for sure – he’s very much just another creature of the regime – and certainly not the man to Clean the Augean Stables.
