#Burnham Rumours swirling around that Ed Balls is up for a return to a Burnham cabinet. He can flip his houses with the wife like last time. Who doesn't love a bit of nostalgia?

Government v bank money www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/07... We are in an economic mess by choice: banker’s choice, backed by a captured economics profession.

Murray is asked if the govt made mistakes over Gaza. He says Lab were late calling for a ceasefire No mention of supporting/arming Israel while it commits genocide, providing military assistance, refusing to acknowledge/condemn war crimes, refusing to uphold intl obligations etc

Nicholas Watt: "Keir Starmer gave an interview to LBC where he gave the impression that when Israel started its action in Gaza that it was right for Israel to cut off water & power to Gaza" 'Gave the impression'? He said Israel had the right to do it!

What did he do? He cared for people… For human beings… For the sick… for the disabled… for the wounded… for the dying He is a GOOD man “Bring Him Home!” youtube.com/shorts/0ZwqT...

#Farage #BinFace #Clacton Wouldn't it be great if every non-Reform voter put an X next to Bin Boy's name 🤓 He kindly decided to let the people of Clacton decide and the people of Clacton might just say: "Fuck off".

Yvette Cooper explains the govt is increasing the amount we spend on war & we need to go further. Susanna Reid: "And so everyone agrees its not enough, everyone agrees we need billions more" No they don't. There's a concerted effort to make us think that, though.

".. to have someone take donations.. then try & hide them.. that raises real Q's.. whats dodgy thats going on" The political project that brought Starmer to power (& Cooper back to the front bench) broke electoral law by deliberately hiding over £700,000 in donations

Yvette Cooper wants us to think the problem is not declaring gifts & donations from the super rich, rather than taking gifts and donations in the first place. Understandable when you remember Cooper herself took over £200,000 from a billionaire to fund staff in her office

The NHS pay crisis isn't about "affordability". A currency-issuing government can always pay public-sector workers. The real question: why do we pretend it can't? #MMT #Economics #UKEconomics

Student loan promotion in England & Wales amounted to mis-selling, MPs say. Students not told clearly that loan terms could change retrospectively. Govt froze repayment threshold, forcing graduates to pay more and sooner. Must abolish Uni tuition fees, as in Scotland.

Farage is claiming he's a victim. He's not. He's the abuser. youtu.be/ucavzOmMzCk?... I hope the people of Clacton rumble him.

"The Palantir Trap: How Brexit Britain Surrendered Its Soul, and Whether Burnham Can Buy It Back" open.substack.com/pub/european...

What if economics has been asking the wrong question? youtu.be/qRUKvVfM0tM?... It starts with money. But should it? Isn't there something much more important than that?

Palantir cleared 183,000 patients from one hospital’s waiting list. Or did it? If you’ve heard ministers repeating that figure, you must read this exposé from @londonermag.bsky.social: https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/palantir-waiting-list-nhs-chelsea-westminster-hospital/

Starmer’s goodbye gift to UK: a £44.7bn US pharma deal that could be more lethal than Covid. Pushes up the cost of NHS drugs, boosts US corporate profits. Secret contract, no debate in parliament. The next PM must renegotiate, produce drugs at home wherever possible.

McSweeney and Co. were well funded to fight Corbanism and “antisemitism”. Full stop. Nothing any deeper than that!! youtu.be/-Y4ltwAZnS8?...

"Keep Palantir out of NHS, Burnham told if he wants to keep promise to ‘put public before US Big Tech’" morningstaronline.co.uk/article/keep...

Wow this is threatening everyone in America with a good time isn’t it

The £17 billion of tax HMRC is choosing not to collect youtu.be/cNej_KOdbQU?... That's enough to pay for 50,000 council houses a year, and HMRC don't seem to care that it's being lost.

The bottom line of UK politics is that the Establishment and its media will only tolerate a Tory government (and Reform is of course Tory), and it matters not the slightest jot how awful that government is.

The departure of this authoritarian bastard can't come soon enough I thought the Tories were bad enough, but he's taken it to another level

The NHS is a HUGE customer, we shouldn’t be exploited like this. Why don’t we buy from India… we don’t need American Big Pharma! youtu.be/wE3K4fzGASM?...

“The entire political system rests on one basic premise: they (the politicians) work for us”... But “Rather than working for us, Keir Starmer and his ministers are acting against us” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starmer's changed Labour Party are evil, they are capitalising on death. This is the post-Brexit trade relationship made concrete: the UK needed a deal more than the US did, and the price of admission is being paid in NHS capacity and in lives. Obscene. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Imbeciles. Starmers legacy is one of a deep betrayal of the British people so he could be seen as subservient to a felon and rapist. Unfuckingbelievable. If Burnham gets in he HAS to scrap it immediately or he’ll be toast as well.

Appeasing Trump. UK would need to divert £44.7bn from essential NHS services to pay for new medicines under the terms of the UK-US trade deal. US corporate profits boosted. Could result in more than 200,000 avoidable UK deaths. Self-sufficiency for essentials saves lives.

Health Insurance doesn't cover you. It doesn't even cover your children if they get sick. It takes a huge amount of your money in 'insurance', then bankrupts you when you get sick anyway. It's a con and it should be illegal. Ban Private Healthcare.

No, they will pay the ultimate price for Starmer's weak subservience

Keir Starmer's Legacy: Palentir youtu.be/mBW9QCVDSjY?...

Starmers TRUE legacy. Unbelievable incompetence and a deep and lasting betrayal of the British public so he could lick Trumps arse. Truly stands as one of the worst PMs we ever had.

The UK Government cannot run out of UK pounds. If you think otherwise you are being gaslit by the media and politicians.

Absolutely scandalous - Andy Burnham must unpick this mess and stand up for the UK. Why should we accept 229,000 excess deaths to please Donald Trump? @globaljusticenow.bsky.social @justtreatment.org vist.ly/59sy8

Andrew, ive finally run out of words that arent expletives but this has genuinely made me utterly furious! Seething. From the volume of postings today concerning this rancid pile of arse deal, im not alone. Burnham better cancel it or it will prove his downfall, along with brexit etc.

Excellent piece by Aditya Chakrabortty on the terrible and lethal pharma deal signed by Starmer with Trump. "That extra money will go from British taxpayers to shareholders in multinational drug companies." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. The 2020 expansion of the Ways and Means Facility during Covid is the ultimate empirical proof of MMT’s insights into how government spending works. It proves that when the ‘borrowing’ conventions are inconvenient, the state can bypass them instantly.

According to “a paper written by JP Spencer” one of those “feeding ideas” to Andy Burnham. JP Spencer is from the think tank re-named “Think Labour” which was untill recently called “Labour Together”! McSweeney & pals really do think that the public are stupid! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
