It is unfortunate for Britain that the people who should know how to run the Government are cutting hair, driving cabs, and posting on Bluesky.

Let's blame him away as we know only Labour have agency.
I would note, for those looking to blame Burnham for not passing legislation to block this donation, that the Representation of the People Bill has not yet passed.
Even if he'd accepted the amendments limiting donations this would have pre-empted the Bill coming into force

You ought to be careful you don't fall off that high horse of yours you might do yourself an injury.
"On one level, Starmer is perfectly entitled to rain on Andy Burnham’s parade – Andy Burnham did, after all, spend almost a year all but openly campaigning to replace Starmer as prime minister, causing endless headaches for Starmer’s operation as he did."
Keir Starmer’s resignation shows him for what he really is
The former PM promised he’d stay around, but he didn’t. Instead, he spoiled Burnham’s first day in Westminster, and has left him facing a tricky by-election

I don't think your field of expertise includes international relations.
Ed Davey, been hawkish on Russia since at least 2014 and banging the drum for greater arms exports to Ukraine to drag out an unwinnable war that is immiserating both Russians and Ukrainians, and four days ago was advocating he UK develop its own nukes in breach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

It would be nice if just one academic who signed that open letter in support admitted that they were wrong to do so.
Somehow, Miller has got worse since this - and is now raving about Pax Judaica and Judeophilia
Just in case you thought he was hiding it at all now.
And yet we have him protected by the Equalities Act and supposedly left organs celebrating him.
