Burnham is about to announce more climate-destroying fossil-fuel production in the North Sea which will benefit no-one and harm us all.

This suspect he will try and delay the announcement until after the Holborn & St Pancras byelection, but he is showing himself as Trump & Farage’s puppet.

Climate catastrophe is on our doorstep – yet Labour’s impending approval of further drilling will bring more pain for negligible gains, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

There's a debate to be had about the level of the cap, but really disappointing to see Burnham retreat from this.

It's even more absurd that some trade unions are campaigning against restricting the power of billionaires and corporations to influence our politics

And I can't imagine a more appropriate Labour to put himself forward for this role.

Absolutely perfect casting.

No notes.

I got a"PR blurb" email from #AndyBurnham this morning- (despite having left #Labour in 2019).Apparently, he's "going to do things differently"🤔 -despite being #ContinuityStarmer to date- and asked if I'd "join #Labour?"🤢

Tough call, #SaidNobodyEver!😬😖🤦‍♂️

🔴 UK politics is bankrolled by the super rich. Andy Burnham promised to restore trust in politics - so why is he is ditching plans to cap mega donors?

My latest on why the PM's timidity is bad retail politics *and* bad for British democracy

Oh what a surprise, Andy Burnham is "More of the Same" when it comes to the Union. English regions can have extra power, but not the Celts, they can't be trusted....
