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.

Who's paying for this food when it's not donations?
@JonathanChaseHypnotist

Rubbish, I know way more than six people who can afford food – 6% is 6 in a hundred nit 1 in 6. And who is donating???? The other five?

hang on.
If everyone is so poor, WHO is giving all this food to the food banks ?
Or is "food bank" the same BS as "climate change."
Dog whistle TV. "The public are stupid, we can use that" type of attitude.

And yet even in poor neighbourhoods in England you see cafes, nail bars, mens and women beauty lounges and loads of takeaways, plus amazon delivery vans stopping everywhere. There are even cafes still opening. And then there are swarms of deliveroo bikes taking takeaways to people. i find it hard to understand if so many are supposed to be in 'food poverty' – maybe they spend money on wrong things?…..

Don't worry citizens, there will ALWAYS be a few more million to spend on foreign illegal migrants, or to throw to Ukraine. Your starvation and cold this winter are all for a good cause!

They're putting immigrants at the front of the foodbank queue where I live. I just walked away.

Similar to the number of migrants that came here for a free handout. Coincidence?

But people still buying xmas presents and spending hundreds of pounds!
I've seen greedy people joining queues for foodbanks because the food is free and offer quality food items! I've seen many driving expensive cars, and I will never take someone's else food because it's free!!!

Why not report live from the 4* Barbican Thistle Hotel in London which is closed for asylum seekers? Got free meals, swimming pool & all sorts 😅 even harassing the locals outside. The police have been told to keep that from the media 🤐
@Thereishope664

How many of our own people could we feed and keep warm if we wasn't keeping illegal immigrants in the lap of luxury in 4* hotels. Bloody shameful.

"Food banks being used by 1 in 6"
Funny how that's the same number of people not born in this country 🤔

Yeah, um, it's people grabbing free food; of course they're being used.

Absolute nonsense, I don't know a single person that has used a food bank! I wonder how many of those that actually do use food banks have TV packages, mobile packages, pets, umpteen kids and continue to buy treats/junk food rather than put together 'proper' meals. I'm fed up of hearing the left wing media say teachers and nurses are having to use food banks, this is total BS as nobody on 25K plus needs to use a food bank. If this was the case over half of the population would be using them. Food banks should be means tested!

Theres a big difference in 2022 to the 1960s when I grew up firstly most of the people in my community were poor & there were no handouts in fact if you said to your neighbour I will give you some food for your kids they would slam the door in your face and say " do you think I cannot afford to feed my kids ". Now people expect handouts.
