This is what gets me. I'll stick to Reeves fiscal rules but build loads of council houses. I'll deport lots of people but maybe that's not a good thing. I'll bring in PR maybe but not yet. How can you take the guy seriously

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

I'm not saying this because I particularly think he should stand for leader but it does feel Quite Interesting that Labour actually has this other mayor who's been successfully running a much bigger city for a longer period of time but for some reason no one's waiting for him to save the party

What I've not seen in the debate so far is what Burnham would *do* on becoming PM. Like Starmer or not he has strengthened protections for renters and employees, he passed the Hillsborough Law, he made it easier to build housing and he recognised Palestine
