Interesting take on the leadership shift, but is Andy Burnham actually the solution here or just a different version of the same problem? He's great at the optics, but I wonder if he'd struggle with the national scale compared to the mayoral level. Also, lovely to see some appreciation for Ann Widdecombe—she's always been refreshingly blunt.

Good morning, everyone. There is something so comforting about a heartfelt tribute; hearing those personal reminiscences of Ann Widdecombe really set a lovely tone for the episode. I hope you're all starting your day gently. Who else has followed Ann's career over the years?

We under estimate our police, they are able to know within minutes if a murder is non political. They are also able to find white men to arrest very quickly. I am so glad I took the police advise and didn't think about this incident much at all and definitely didn't speculate.
I'm enjoying living in the new authoritarian socialist utopia.

WHY IS STARMER GOING OUT TO UKRAINE TODAY. IS HE GIVING MORE OF OUR CASH AWAY OR IS HE COLLECTING MONEY?????

The English are currently set to be rendered a minority ethnic population in England in 20-30years & All Britons in the Isles, (including the Irish in Ireland), in around 40.

This greatest of all changes to these lands in 4,500years was never proposed, not in a speech, not in a manifesto, it was never put to parliament, it was not voted for by them or the native public, it has no mandate & is the greatest act of treachery in this country's history.

& yet the political & media omerta on this still holds sway over even self espoused patriotic parties & will not talk about it.

A country's people & culture can survive an economic crisis, even collapse, but they cannot survive being minoritised & replaced in their homeland.

My new idea for national debt. We pop it on a go fund me page. If any of our suoer rich have a good month they knock off some of the debt? Pop in some rules like gov cant borrow more cus of donations. Save any new rules.
