Full text of Burnham's speech.
A lot to like, after the 2 lost years under Starmer and all those before, but all predicated on economic growth which a) would be very hard to achieve given eco-geo-political constraints and the structural long crisis of capitalism, and b) is inherently damaging, in the aggregate, for the ecosystem on which we all depend.
Every word Andy Burnham said in first speech since becoming Makerfield MP - Liverpool Echo

The American Red Cross has declared the second-ever national blood supply crisis
after blood donations fell to a four-year summer low.
On Monday, the 145-year-old non-profit said that as the United States’ largest single provider of blood products,
it now has less than one-day national supply of type O positive blood
– the most commonly transfused blood.
Type O positive blood accounts for about 60% of the ARC’s blood distributions
and is used across everyd…
From early on in the renewable revolution,
batteries were envisaged as a critical part of the puzzle.
Homes would be able to install panels on their roofs to capture and convert solar energy,
and batteries in their homes to store the energy and use it when they needed it.
But while solar panel prices fell rapidly a few years ago, it is only in recent years that batteries have become similarly available and affordable.

The Department of Justice has moved to dismiss charges against a prominent California union leader who was arrested while protesting against an immigration raid in Los Angeles last year, in the latest US government case against protesters to fall apart.
David Huerta, the president of Service Employees International Union United Service Workers West, was arrested at a June 2025 demonstration and has been fighting the charges ever since.
On Monday, the US attorney’s office in LA fi…
Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, on Tuesday added to his lengthening catalog of bizarre wild animal encounters by
posting to social media a video of himself in Florida wrestling with two snakes.
Kennedy, who has previously admitted dumping the carcass of a bear cub in New York’s Central Park,
and is also alleged to have cut the penis off a road-kill raccoon,
is seen grabbing the pair of serpents with his bare hands.
It’s the day after Mother’s Day, the first one Elizabeth Soto has spent apart from her three children.
Sitting in jail in Wichita Falls, Texas, her face is washed out by the overhead fluorescent lighting,
and her dingy jumpsuit blends into the cinder block walls surrounding her.
Speaking through a glass separator, she tells me she celebrated the holiday with her children over the jail’s video-call system while they had dinner at their grandmother’s.

A bona fide financial crisis has not broken out since the US housing meltdown of 2007.
Even the Covid pandemic and subsequent upsurge in inflation didn’t lead to financial upheaval.
The jitters produced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 were soon forgotten.
Given this stability, it might take some effort to convince financial markets that another big one is around the corner.
But it is.
Financial markets and their regulating governments may believe …
