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’s always a happy medium that they always seem to ignore.
Just lay off 20% or so of the civil service & put up pay for those that remain.

Catch up with the tax avoiders, bring Dividend/capital gains into line with income tax, get some of the Furlough Fraud money back, Reform Council Tax, move the high rate tax band considerably further up the income scales. These measures would put more disposable income into economy and increase tax revenues. All this is pie in the sky unless the avaricious nature of the super wealthy/powerful is reversed

There is so much waste in the public services. If they just did what they are employed to do this country would save billions. Police, just enforce the law, with no fear or favour. Teachers just teach the core elements, not your opinions. Council just sort stuff, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. MPs only one job serving the public.

Labour isn't in power Liam deflecting again from the last 23 years. Public sector pay dose not affect inflation. When the service is free at point of use… Basic economics ! …. Conservative corporate pay master's huge profits are responsible for inflation……. But thats not in there interest to say. !??!!??

The Tory’s are a joke, they signal to the left constantly. The public sector will never vote en mass for you so give it up, use the massive majority to smash the institutions that oppose ever Conservative principle.
They won’t though because they are not actually Conservatives, just a liberal party that is a little more economically liberal than labour.
It’s time to smash them and the public to vote for actual right wing parties.

Am I the only person who thinks it is wrong for our military to get a pathetic 5% while military families are being evicted from their homes in order to house illegals this clown is really due to be thrown out of no 10 . Danger is the labour party will be even worse unless people wake up and vote REFORM.

Stop the boats from coming, tax the energy companies more and tax the rich more (I'm sure living off 1 million quid a month instead of 2 is possible for them).
Open all the coal mines,start fracking on our own land and start drilling more in the north sea but we all know that wont happen.(oh and it would be nice to have all our factories back)
The British public are spineless cowards that have very ineffective strikes that dont work instead of having a riot which is surprising with how expensive everything is that a riot hasnt happened but im sure all the boomers will continue to hoard all the wealth and that wealth will just stay in their families making them even more rich
@andrewstafford-jones4291

The government should just pay the rate of inflation to them all.
The UK is completely finished anyway, just keep printing the money, importing another 20 million migrants and we can let the new Muslim majority decide the future.
We are completely bankrupt and this dystopian country needs to be put out of its misery and hopefully we can return to a basic 3rd world economy.

So governments following "the experts" has been a success? Covid? BoE money supply and inflation? OBR? I don't think so.
Given the reduction in public sector labour productivity over several years, the idea it can be improved at six per cent a year is ridiculous.

I'm going back to teaching after retiring 18 months ago at 53 (for the second time) and already I am getting over 4k pay rise in September. Not a problem if the Government was funding it 100%, but half of it is coming from current school budgets. The Government idiots have even set aside 40 million contingency fund for schools that can't manage. Sick of idiots messing with education who don't give a FECK! When this sort of public spending happens other will suffer
@crzldesign231
December 29, 2023 at 1:39 pm
You also gotta remember, when they say teachers and police ONLY get c.40k per year, you have to also take into account the effective pension contribution as well. A private sector employee would have to put in the same again to get their resulting pension. That means teachers, nurses, police are effectively on nearly 100k per annum.
