In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Yesterday, Holborn and St. Pancras headed to the polls to select a new MP (replacing former MP Keir Starmer). With another leader on the ballot, the Green’s Zack Polanski, all eyes were on the race… one Polanski ultimately lost.

It’s been a few days now, but the UK is still responding to the reverberations caused by Andy Burnham’s bombshell conference speech. But in this video, we’re going to focus on one of his speech’s last topics: the UK-EU relationship.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

@BigBoiiLeem
January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am
For whatever reason, I just assumed that Lindsay Hoyle was a Conservative, until I watched this video. Because in New Zealand, the Speaker has almost without exception been from the governing party. How about that, I guess you learn something new every day.

And why did a labour party member win when the Tories have a huge majority?
In the United States there is no way the majority would vote in a minority Speaker.

@fmitchell238a
January 15, 2024 at 11:37 am
Nearly all the Speaker candidates' speeches mentioned "impartiality"; a few mentioned subsuming their personalities or being quiet. Were they throwing shade at Bercow? The British language is so subtle.
