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.

inflation 10.1% and they are doing everything to con us on that figure. They better do the right thing and bring inflation under control. Legislation (drawn up after the 2008 crash) states they must take action to bring down inflation if over 2%. If they Quantitative Ease again and give more free money to the rich it will be a disgrace. When the rich get 50% richer over 2 years (sending their employees on free Caribbean holidays) and the poor get so poor they do not put their heating on (I have it on for 3 x 30min and not a minute more) then there is going to be trouble at the mill.

Predictions from anyone other than the BoE are worthless. Interest rates will go up, stating 4 or 5 or 6% is like predicting the lottery. The media are foolish, monkeys throwing darts are more accurate.

I really have issue with journalists trying to sell us the narrative that interest rates are a bad thing. If you have savings then they're a good thing. They're also a good thing if you want to tackle inflation.

Interest rates will continue to rise affecting struggling business and mortgage payers who also have to contend with the effect of the green deal, the rising energy costs. Two things which are going to cause problems in the housing market will be the reduction in support for energy costs which means less money spent in shops as people try to cover their bills and mortgages, then there will be the costs of meeting the energy efficiency standards on property which will need to be met and could be expensive especially on older properties. Without these upgrades the properties will be devalued a small landlord may not be able to afforded the costs so will sell. That's if they can, in Germany who are introducing similar laws, a property which does not meet the required standard will not be allowed to be rented out after 2030, expect the same here. The small landlords are on the hit list, in the US with rent caps in some areas landlords are paying out more than they are allowed to charge in rent.

Agree with most of Liam Halligan says and as at moment is a free world – still think that if the nasties come along – continuation of current high Cost of living – food, fuel and if H* unt and Sunak allows energy prices to rise > inflation in April 2023 along with scrapping of Fuel Stabiliser, council tax rises at Inflation rate (?PI?) this will have big impact (more) on the economy – more people asking for inflation busting pay increases, inflation increasing, stalled economy, flattening of housing mark – more interest rate rises may be needed to curb inflation and RPI – still could see Interest Rates at 8-10% (Boe) – Worse case Scenario.
