Since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister, Labour have risen significantly in the polls to overtake Reform, who’s fortunes have fallen alongside the Lib Dems and the Greens. So what’s behind this “Burnham Bounce”? And can he succeed where Starmer failed?

@TLDR News Regarding the shop: Sadly it seems impossible to collect different items in one package in ordaaa to ship them in one go, could you make it available somehow? (Crewneck sweatshirt and T-shirt for example) Buying seperately seems kind of counter-intuitive and unnecessary

Bercow showing his true Fascist colours. He’s defiantly trashed the seat he’s held for too long, the question is has he facilitated the end of the political system & the two houses. I’d even go as far as to say he’s ended the Frauds. A second house accountable to the UK People not the land owners of old, multinationals & the EU.

This is what neoliberalism looks like; 3 years, 3 prime ministers, all ruined over a referendum to leave a trade agreement.
A. Simple. Trade. Agreement.
That is why parliament and the British are at war with themselves.
Not over labor laws, wages, healthcare, national security, liberty, or tyranny.
But over one, single, trade agreement.
Europeans, Britains, answer me this. I thought Europe was a stable bastion of western democracy. Why is it, that one nation leaving a trade bloc, pushes your entire continent to the brink of chaos?
If Brexit puts Britain and Europe to this brink, I’d hate to see what happens when another migrant crisis, or perhaps, a Russian invasion of Ukraine, occurs. How is Britain and the EU prepared for the challenges of the century. Chinese colonialism in Africa, Russian pressure in the Ukraine, Middle East and Caucasus; Right-Wing Nationalism and Populism.
How the hell is this Neoliberal programme going to survive against these forces? I honestly doubt it will.

Great video. For me, It looks like Scottish and English courts are at odds. I think the Government has done right to the prorogation of parliament is necessary. The people voted to leave the EU. MPs agreed for the people to decide, and we did. we voted to
leave. All trade deals can be decided after we leave.
