here we go again, another 10 year mission to boldly go where no pm has gone before

Andy Burnham will promise to lead a 10-year mission to drive up living standards as he sets out his vision for Britain.

From the same article:

He is also expected to call for new political culture focused on putting place before party, problem-solving before point-scoring and long-term thinking over short-term politics.
"... new political culture ... ": Can't wait for the first PMQs!

No - the Justice system is totally clogged.

The aim is that this unit would be "to drive devolution" and it would be responsible for "good growth in every postcode" of the UK.

I believe your statement supports the point he was making…

Are you an undercover Burnhamite? ;)

I doubt there's many that expect changes, although it could get worse I suppose :juggle:

"Reindustrialise": Yes

"No 10 North": Ridiculous. Get growth first then tinker.

"More devolution": Not before there is a nationally consulted and funded plan. At this stage - gollox.

"Government is broken": No shit.

We cracked up when we heard of Mahmood's £10K clawback from refugees plan!

Seen from the planet Zog, it would seem sensible. In reality, this is akin to the student loan that never gets paid back by foreigners. Have they done a risk analysis on how to deal with default? Fire the refugees and create a jobs crisis? Or shove it back onto the taxpayer?

Oh come on Papa, that's just plain ridiculous. I know the price of petrol is (allegedly) on the way down, but it's still costly. I'd suggest half a gallon at most, which should be enough to get them within sight of the French coastguard . . . who will then supply them with 3 liters of petrol and point them our way. :D
