NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women ādeserveā compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal
Earlier I attended a Makerfield hustings event hosted by @MENnewsdesk, in which Burnham said: āI stick by campaigners that I support. I stuck by the Hillsborough families, Iāll stick by the Waspi women because they deserve some recompense for the unfairness.ā
Stressing he wouldnāt ditch his longterm support for Waspi women, he said he felt āuncomfortableā that some politicians threw their support behind a cause but then went into government and ādidnāt do anythingā

Itās so funny how heās going to barely stray from Starmerās already-working policies. Literally just a likeable yorkshire accent on the operation.
EXCL: Andy Burnhamās first broadcast interview since confirming heād join any potential Labour leadership contest
ā¢ is āsympatheticā to reversing the govās NI rise for employers
ā¢ asked why he believes heād be a better PM than Keir Starmer says āIām not getting into thatā
ā¢ bringing utilities under āstrong public controlā cld mean āmuch tougher regulation OR public ownershipā
ā¢ asked multiple times *how* he wld pay for bringing energy, water, housing, transport into public control, says āYou do it over a long period of timeā
ā¢ asked abt the fiscal rules says, ā'I know what the fiscal rules are ...we will set out a plan that is within those rules'
Interview across the BBC soon..

This is worse than his breast enlargement hypnosis. It shows he actually knows the economics heās backing is BS, but heās going along with it because itās popular.

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK governmentās own complicity in genocide.

What are you actually talking about.

Ben Leo shows more courage and composure here than the entire Tory / Labour uniparty put together over the last decade.
If only our political class had this sort of bravery Britain would not be where it is now.

I feel as though we don't celebrate Craig Brown enough. His hit rate really is quite astonishing, and has been for many decades. Anyway: this is simply sensational.
