    'Nigel Farage is right to warn that Andy Burnham will clamp down on free speech' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In a speech at the United Nations last week Andy Burnham announced the creation of the National Centre for Information Defence – a new surveillance unit – designed to ‘stem the poisonous tide’ of disinformation. Burnham identified Russia as the biggest threat. I find myself agreeing with Nigel Farage when he says this will end up curbing free speech with the government using foreign bot accounts as a convenient excuse to clamp down on domestic political dissent and opinions they don’t agree with

    'Burnham will call early election – but he'll have to do it before IMF bail-out' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Despite Andy Burnham saying he won’t call an early election, I firmly believe one is coming. It’s not just the perilous state of the country’s finances that means Burnham has to go to the country with a new manifesto and accompanying begging bowl; it’s also his desire to ‘urgently’ fix social care that makes an early election feel inevitable. Burnham has said that he will fight the next election on a platform to fix the “social care crisis”. Surely, if it is so urgent, it cannot wait until the 2

    'Andy Burnham's coming for your cash – Labour want election to raise income tax' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The reason speculation is rife about a General Election is because Labour has run out of money and their current tax grabbing attempts are stalling. Their plans to jack up Capital Gains Tax won’t work because as all sensible economists know it will raise less tax revenue, not more. Their mansion tax raid, which may take in houses worth over £1.5million, will double the number of households having to pay it – to 271,000 – but, as Labour sympathising tax expert Dan Neidle explains, it'll become to

    'Final embarrassing U-turn from Keir Starmer proves he has no shame whatsoever' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Keir Starmer really has no shame. He is about to perform yet another embarrassing U-turn on top of standing down as an MP and forcing a by-election which he denied he would do. He is drawing up a resignation honours list – something he said in 2023 on Radio 4 he absolutely would not do. He even called on Rishi Sunak to block Boris Johnson's resignation list so opposed to them he claimed to be. And who is he tipped to reward? None other than Morgan McSweeney, his former chief of staff who had to

    'Car crash performances are showing Andy Burnham in his true light' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There will be no PMQs this week, for which Andy Burnham must be relieved and the nation should be grateful. His last two car-crash performances have caused gaffes that required immediate corrections and clarifications from No. 10. Even more worryingly, he also managed to destroy the long-standing consensus that national security and defence of the nation is always the government’s number one priority. Instead he put it behind increasing the welfare budget. I am sure Putin was buoyed to hear such
