Here's the dilemma for #Burnham :
Lose fifty constituencies if he approves #Rosebank drilling, or lose all the #Donations and back-handers from the

Labour ‘could lose up to 50 seats’ to Greens if new drilling in North Sea approved
Greens say analysis shows government failure to take bold climate action could lead to big gains for party at election

More bollocks from the out of touch #Burnham government.
I'm critical of like for like electric car replacement (we need many fewer cars) but this is just trembling before vested interests.
"The government said it needed the targets to 'remain pro-business and grounded in the real world'”.
Pray Heidi, what is your understanding of the 'real world'?
Not…

Andy Burnham moves to cut new EV sales targets
Possible cut from 80% down to as little as 50% could add millions of tonnes of CO2 to emissions and comes amid UK heatwaves

"No messages of significance were exchanged. Burnham quickly became suspicious, and reported the incident to proper authorities."
But by then Burnham had already sent the impersonator a £2000 Amazon gift card. 🎁 💳
I'm guessing. 🤓

The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Burnham promises ‘pragmatic’ approach to North Sea oil and gas
PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

I can see what he's thinking, but the #YesMinister episode pretty much writes itself.
BBC News: #Burnham to send high-performing civil servants to mayoral offices

In case you missed this yesterday.
We have entered the era of Andy #Burnham’s #Manchesterism, but what is it and what could it mean for the UK as a whole?
Manchesterism: A new politics trapped in an old economy?

We have entered the era of Andy Burnham’s Manchesterism, but what is it and what could it mean for the country as a whole?

Still no place for Emily Thornberry in the new #Burnham cabinet? Has she got something in her background file that makes her a ministerial no-no? She seems like a major backbench talent, it was a big surprise that Starmer didn't give her a job in July 2024.

"The larger task is to build an economy capable of meeting human needs while using far less energy and materials. That means deciding democratically what should expand, what should be protected and what should deliberately contract. And that would mean a change of direction from neoliberalism, which #Burnham calls for."

Oooh dear, this doesn't bode well for Mr #Burnham . The function of a circuit breaker is to cut off power to a circuit, hopefully before anyone gets hurt....

"public services back under greater public control" - #Burnham in his first speech as PM repeating the formulation he'd been using for the last couple of months (and earlier?)
Problem is, most of the public will hear that as "public ownership" - a promise he can't possibly hope to keep, which in a year or two means that any of the people he's mostly aiming …

Problem is, most of the public will hear that as "public ownership" - a promise he can't possibly hope to keep, which in a year or two means that any of the people he's mostly aiming this stuff at who are giving him the benefit of the doubt for now, will have him firmly filed under "promise breaker just like all the others".
