12 Jul 2026Tax & Public FinancescelebratoryRachel Reeves on Laura Kuenssberg this morning looks to the new Prime Minister coming in with positivity. As she said, her stewardship of the economy gives Andy Burnham a better inheritance than she and Keir Starmer had.

22 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentdefensiveKeir Starmer has a mandate from Labour members. He stood on a manifesto and won a mandate from the British people His challengers haven’t even bothered to challenge him. What is their manifesto, their prospectus for 🇬🇧. What would their mandate be? 👑s are for Kings not PMs
17 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredAbsolutely. Preferably desist from challenging a sitting Labour PM, but if you must… Country first. Greater Manchester mayoralty by-election first. And it’s good that the PM is generously talking of offering Andy Burnham a role in government. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
