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.

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country

Our survey suggests British People accepts Legal Migrants but not illegal channel migrants, based on rough estimate almost 50% of Conservative members were second or third generation of legal migrants, myself also a legal migrant but more than 70% of British People were against illegal channel migrants. Therefore Rishi Sunak should feel assured that British People accepts Legal Migrants of 600K+.

It's laughable that the British elites shortchange the work force but still expect high productivity. Keep cutting teachers' salaries you would not get well educated students!

A high proportion of immigrants (especially those in a certain group) work the Black/Grey economy, pay no tax AND claim benefits. So we would be well off without them.

I used to be very productive in my job as an administrator. Sometimes I had to do the job 3 and 4 times because lousy managers had zero understanding of quality working practices and logical systems analysis! Economists and politicians can't blame workers for being unproductive when workers are hamstrung when trying to get jobs done.

I was involved in technical training for nine years. Training is not valued by management that have to pay for it. The lazy management class want to open a box of ready qualified personnel. They don’t want to develop in-house talent, they think that if they train someone properly they will leave. They will only leave if they are not happy where they are or feel undervalued by their management. Free movement from the EU has made employers lazy and dependent on immigration. Nursing is a prime example. The reason there’s a shortage of nurses is not because of a lack of potential nurses, but on management that want nurses to pay for their training and then work in a poorly managed and understaffed workplace. Hospital managers would rather poach nurses from developing countries than find imaginative solutions to get more home grown staff.

We need a government that stops pandering to big business , we all need better wages to do each and every job, what they are doing is keeping us poor and having to work more than 1 job to live, the tories and labours answer to higher wages is add on more tax so after a wage rise you end up with the same or less than you did before, shameful bunch of nasties

This man is deeply confused. UNPRODUCTIVE labour is not Services. Cheap labour is not unproductive.
Public services jobs are massively unproductive, especially their admin roles.
The point is do they add to the overall economy? Nope, because they are all on benefits paid by other people who are productive.

These middle class types don't care about the working class or immigrants. They just want others to do the less desirable jobs. Who'll make their soy lattes? Who'll deliver their amazon items, who'll stock the shelves in Waitrose, who'll cut the grass near their houses? Who'll maintain the roads?
