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.

If people had access to decent social housing, education and healthcare, then people do not need high wages. The US has high wages, but their costs of housing, healthcare and education are off the scale, so you wonder what is the benefit of high wages

The wages in the Personal Services-Leisure Retail Sector (catering and restaurants-bars) along with Agriculture and we know now HGV Drivers was artificially low because of the import of Slavic and Southern labour. The wage rates in the technical sectors of construction and maintenance, which actually is high value, was also depressed because of the so called F-reedom of Movement from notably Poland and Hungary. The classic rules of economics in these sectors mean that employers set prices by competing with others and they take advantage of surplus labour to lower wages. So if there is a shortage of labour wages will rise and this eats into profits because the company still has to set competitive prices. A huge chunk of the 'leisure-retail' businesses will go to the wall – the multitude of KostaLotta Koffee Bars because their business model is based on Benefits Subsidies from the tax payers, ie the better off working class.
As for the EU's freedom of Movement, well I never met a brit working in a bar in Vilnius nor a UK Electrician in Budapest. In fact the UK ahs the highest EU Nationals ex-pat population in Europe, with 6.5m wanting right to remain.

Average house price in 1908 was £21000 but today is £230000. Maybe we can afford houses in the future.

In the victorian era,the upper class had 100x more than 3rd class
Today, the top 1% make 300x more than THE AVERAGE wage. Not even the lowest. They earn in 1 day almost the average yearly salary
You do not need an entire system overhaul to deal with that

More wages more spending =cash back into the economy. However there won't be a wage increase with Boris, not with interest rates, high utilities and possible monthly health care Insurance, any increase will be cancelled out.
