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.

What economic benefits on it's own, the economic benefits of HS2 is the fact that most HI speed train services from Scotland, the North West and Birmingham travelling to London will transfer from the existing WCML to the HS2 route so opening up the existing WCML to more freight trains and passenger services, thats the economical benefit of HS2,

The people who wrote the original coat budget didn't know what they were doing. All Cost Consultants are the same- no understanding of what they are doing. It is rather like getting an airline pilot to perform a heart transplant. Or a greengrocer to build a!space craft.

It wouldn't have been so bad had it not only took-in just English routes …….. Scotland and Wales are not even included in this vanity-project network, but yet still have to contribute to the cost via our taxes …….. hardly fair, huh?

It's huge white elephant. When it is completed, you have to pay extra to be able to travel on it – and that will be for more well-off people. The vast majority of the population won't benefit from it.

Typical politicians no vision, no expertise just plenty of money to waste on 19th century technology. Choo, choo. Hahaha. What a set of losers.

Now there's a suprise, Not. Remember when David Cameron said it was going to cost £60 Billion ? 😂😂😂😂Now projected to be £150 Billion. This, along with the £70 Billion in Furlough payments, + the Billions its costing us to keep the thousands of illegals entering the country every week is the reason we are all going to be paying high taxes for the foreseeable future. HS2 was a vanity project, payed for by the Majority, but to be used by the minority of rich. Lets face it, Joe Public will not be able to afford to travel on it.

Spending on infrastructure is misleading because the government claws back the money in tax. Not taking a position just saying it's like you putting an extension on your house.
