Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”
Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.
The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.
The ban comes into force today.
Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.
“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.
“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.
“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.
It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.
Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.
The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.
Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”
A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.
“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.
“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.
Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.
President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.
The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.
Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.

We knew what Liz truss was going to do, she said it so many times. She was stitched up by Sunak and his backers from overseas. First Boris then Liz truss. Now we are even worst off and with higher taxation.
How much longer are we going to go along being stitched up by the EU with Sunak calling the shots. The Tories should go to the country and will be surprised at Reforms rating.
Put Liz truss and her chancellor back, she will get it done, just like Margaret Thatcher.

When Truss’ mini budget happened the base rate was less than 2% but the mortgage rates went up over 6%. Due to the underlying mistrust the worlds financial markets had at that time.
Now mortgage rates are at a similar, or even slightly lower, level, but the base rate is much higher. You have to look at the spread.
Truss’ mini budget spooked the market.

What this “news” channel fails to recognise is the economic damage (mini budget, high borrowing, no growth strategy, brexit) the Tory government have caused is a direct reason for us having such high inflation. There’s not a lot the bank can do to respond to this economic suicide but it’s convenient for the gov to have the BoE to shift blame on

It’s not totally implausible that the squeeze for those with mortgages could actually be WORSE than in the 1990s.

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter was everywhere. No one cared about anything. Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they defecated on the streets. It's a sad declined country

The problem with the US is when their in debt, their central bank, just prints more and more money. I think the US debt is 35 trillion. They don’t worry about it.

And what happens at that point? They will bail out banks again with our money, and they will own everything and we will own nothing. It's that simple! I can't understand how people don't understand the slavery path that we're walking on…

Interest rates can't be used as a measure to control inflation that spiked as a result of energy cost increases, raising the cost of everything that is produced and transported, these days. You have to reintroduce regulation of the energy Markets to prevent what happened from occurring again, in the future. The idiots at the BoE and the Government simply don't know what they are talking about, fact.
If you want to get a grip, now is the time to act and bring back full regulation of the Energy Markets, ending price speculation and breaking with the turmoil created by free markets on energy pricing.
Absolutely incredulous that they just don't have a clue. These two, for their sins have at least touched on one point, but are still a country mile from the root of the problem.

FED chairman Powell said last September ' Central Banks must own the inflation problem' in a direct criticism of Andrew Bailey who refused to increase
interest rates despite having a far higher CPI rate than US and EU. Bailey's performance since his appointment has been lacklustre and inept in fact he was still pumping
£££m's in the form of QE – time to quietly retire him.

So, high yields on govt. bonds have a direct link to investor confidence in the govt. and by extension, the economy. There’s no getting away from the fact that investor confidence is declining. If this continues, what’s to stop a run on the pound if the markets scent blood. IMF bailout anyone?
@tonybroken6353
December 18, 2023 at 8:05 am
i think the panic in the press was mostly about the value of the pound falling which they all blamed on the mini-budget, the fact that the pound has been falling for years seemed to have been forgotten, obviously not a good thing when we import a lot of goods, I'm surprised inflation hasn't been higher before now. Liz truss was definitely stitched up though, if she'd had support of her MPs the Press would never had been able to topple her, it was all about the left wing press, even the labour party were pretty quiet at the time of the mini-budget, but sky, itv,bbc,ch4 it was like they all smelled blood and kept the "tanked the economy" thing going. In reality things are little different now but we have higher taxes, thanks Rishi ! thanks SKY NEWS!
