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.

Here's a way to save money – stop consuming the mainstream media. They have been lying to you for the past two years – so why give them your money?

What does "in debt" mean? You have a mortgage? You have a car loan? You use a credit card? You are overdrawn?
If "any of the above" then I reckon the figure will be nearer 75%.

25% in debt.
But the richest 1% on average have £4 million each.
Time for a wealth tax on the neo-liberal few beneficiaries.

Since being absolutely skint in the 80s with huge interest rates I now save all year for Christmas and totally stay within that budget there is no way I'm starting the New Year in debt for the sake of one day. Attending a Carol service is free as is a nativity service, you can make Christmas as cheap as you like.

New phones, holidays, toys, clothes and gifts are not necessities they are luxury goods. If you do not have 3-6 months (at least) of your salary saved up then you have no rights to buy anything luxurious or take a holiday. I have been debt free since 2005. I have 12 months of salary saved up. I have not had a holiday in 8 years. I have not left my city to travel in 7 years. It takes sacrifice it does not just happen.

Britain the socialist society. That is why the immigrants keep coming. Everything is for free. Social benefits to some are their life. If you are from an African or Middle Eastern country you get zero benefits. Babying people in your country does not help them it encourages people to claim as much as they can.
