QUENTIN LETTS: Burnham was all bogus modesty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Labour’s conference ended with communism’s ankle-swinger, The Red Flag. Its singing was led by Andy Burnham and Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary masticating magnificently as she warbled the words. In her soul there may lurk a mini Bianca Castafiore, the diva from Tintin. What a festival of bosom-clutching and operatic melodrama these four days in tramp-ridden Liverpool were. When speakers referred to Reform or the Tories it was as if thunder-sheets were being rattled. Mentions of Donald Trump
QUENTIN LETTS: Burnham's speech gave me diabetic twinges (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite all those 'HOPE AGAIN' banners, Andy Burnham reduced himself to tears. What a peculiar speech this was. We may be on the cusp of war and economic collapse but family emotion trumped these imperatives. Divisive policy ideas were eased down the nation's gullet with a passage about the recent death of his father. Our new, unelected prime minister indicated his intention to bugger up Brexit, debag pensioners and rig the electoral system. Nothing less would create a Britain of which his late
QUENTIN LETTS: Patronising Miliband thinks he's running the whole show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Labour's conference steams onwards into the gathering storm, high on self-admiration, deaf to dangers. Day two, no one mentioned the price of diesel. Delegates did not speak of borrowing rates, hurtling skywards with inflation. Spending cuts? Not at the dinner table, please. It was Ed Miliband’s day. An unpromising slot mid-morning was all he needed to assert his superiority over Cabinet colleagues. Red Ed deployed all the oratorical tricks: squashed facial gestures to convey incredulity; scampe
QUENTIN LETTS: Scary Bridget isn't terrific at smiling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hope Again screams Labour's 2026 conference slogan. This is political code for 'thank heavens we're shot of Starmer and Reeves'. At last year's conference they all gushed about how wonderful Sir Keir had seen off that idiot Andy Burnham. Now it's the other way round. 'What a difference 12 months makes,' cried oddball Ellie Reeves, Attorney General, rejoicing that the last lot had been ditched. One of them was her sister Rachel. The slogan is everywhere: on podiums, walls, pillars, badges, sticke
Opinion: Trump encounter exposed Burnham as ill-suited to be PM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
His glasses lopsided, his cufflinks over-large, hands clutched and knees all a-knock, Andy Burnham looked a bag of nerves when meeting Donald Trump at the United Nations building in New York. Social-media wits were reminded of Ronnie Corbett doing one of his monologues. The political reality was less comical. Here was our new Prime Minister on his first big foreign test. Any fair-minded patriot wanted Mr Burnham to represent us with aplomb. No doubt he tried his best but it was not enough. He se
