A moment that moved me to tears. Andy Burnham’s first instruction as Prime Minister as he enters Downing Street will be to end rough sleeping in this country. A huge opportunity for a Housing First strategy from a man who gets it.

My Mum rang me yesterday in tears, worried that my youngest brother who is autistic and diabetic may lose his PIP entitlement due to only being 20. All this week has done is leave me to question why I’m in the Labour Party, we should be so much better than this.

No10 source confirms to me there will be a reshuffle next Saturday to try and move the news cycle on from what is expected to be a dreadful night for Labour “Soft left” Lucy Powell expected to be back, Rayner to be offered, Kyle gone, Kendall possibly.

2 weeks ago a man was killed for his political beliefs and we all (Trump included) said we need to be more careful with our language. Today Trump falsely said Sadiq Khan wants sharia law in London, effectively painting a target on his back for extremists. So irresponsible.

Starmer will be ok on this one, polling is on his side and I just think most people don’t care anymore let alone consider “Brexit betrayals” Don’t turn your nose up at E-gates - it’ll be popular! I just hope it’ll be in time for this stag do I’m off to in Magaluf next week!

I didn’t expect to get upset today and I didn’t expect Martin to have tears in his eyes. Even if you don’t agree, if you’re a parent I hope you can appreciate where I’m coming from. As my Great Grandma said: don’t let anyone tell you war is good or glamorous. It is hell.

As I said last week. If Andy Burnham was blocked on a factional basis I would resign as a member of the Labour Party. Yesterday I did that. I had hope things could change last week. Today I have no hope. Those in and around No10 are killing the party I love deeply.

I will take no joy when Starmer eventually goes. This country has felt like it has been frozen in a permanent crisis for the last decade. People are struggling & suffering and see no improvement in their lives. It is them that are the real losers of this whole sorry saga

We voted to take our ball home and not let anyone else play with it and that’s ok. But why take a knife to the ball so we can’t play with it too? £1bn quid to make back £100bn in imports and exports per year without rejoining? I’d take it.

I feel desperately sorry for Ange, but if you are a casual observer of the news all you will read or see on TV now is “Deputy Prime Minister didn’t pay tax and should have done.” That is a killer. It will leave her tarnished and why I think she can’t survive this.

I believe Keir Starmer when he says he didn’t know Mandelson failed his security clearance. His own staff would tell me how things would go on around him. He is an empty vessel. My money would be on the former chief of staff who was Mandelson’s protege and likely promised him this, saying it had to go through at any cost with Olly Robbins doing Number 10 a favour and being thrown under the bus afterwards. It also throws that stolen phone into new light all of a sudden…

I’ve been a huge critic of Keir Starmer but today this was spot on. The death of Henry Nowak is a tragedy that should indeed be a turning point. I get the anger but the point of that turn however isn’t to get bladdered and fight coppers. It achieves nothing.

Andy Burnham won every ward in every constituency in Greater Manchester because he reaches people Labour can’t. Normal people He is the normalisation of a professional class Labour Party that is out of touch with its core vote. I will be just one of millions they’ll lose by 2029

Lots of conjecture about what Andy Burnham may do or not. But he’s already laid out a blueprint in Manchester for the country. 3.1% growth Housing First to tackle homelessness Technical education parity with university Increased housing Tackling the skills shortage

The pledge to end rough sleeping yesterday was welcome but the PM must follow through on the report by The Centre for Social Justice he wrote a foreword to last year Half of rough sleeping in London alone is non-UK nationals. Without a robust deterrent alongside it, any promise to end rough sleeping with the offer of accommodation will incentivise boat crossings and ultimately fail.
