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.

There is little point paying taxes to mad men.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should stop paying the illegal council tax.
It is clear, that those in charge of administration of the funds issued from our taxation pool, are utterly incompetent, worse, nefarious, fraudulent and maleficent.
To continue to pay taxes to lunatics, is to continue to waste resources and time.
There is no point paying anything to Birmingham council, nor indeed any of the others, whom all appear to be acting in lockstep to bankrupt us all.
You can not fix the problem, without first removing everyone involved and on all sides..don't declare this is a labour issue. The whole country is bankrupt thanks to a stream of treason.
Stop contributing to your own downfall..get out from under these clowns and do a Biggleswick.
There is a better future, but it cAn only be realised by understanding the frequency that enables the circus to strip us of everything

Councillors should resign their seats and seek reelection. These people had oversight on the spending.

Councils spend money on stupid things…Dudley council have bought up some derilect property, but it's unnecessary and costs money which they don't have. Dudley are now £20m in debt. They also must waste a lot of money on housing repairs…they have several vans in one area quite often…not sure why. You can complain, but no-one takes any notice. A lot of councils also remove carpets when renters move out, completely unnecessary in a lot of cases.

Labour not good with money!!! That's nearly as shocking has the pot holes in Nottingham, spent millions on making the city a pedestrian zone only and not maintaining the drains or roads. And the irony is that no one goes in to town these days its empty.

Time and time again, this Council wasted millions on expensive consultants instead of getting their senior management to do the jobs they were being paid for. Half of these officers stand to receive huge payouts when the inevitable redundancies come around.

This should be the default. Councils are basically communists pushing the green agenda lie. We also need to reduce the temperature in their offices to punish them.. also 70% of the managers need to be cut when this measure is brought in… Elon Musk had to cut 80% of Twitter as it then faster…. 90% of all council workers are surplus to requirements…….. I am laughing my head off what is happening in Argentina with those horrible civil servants
