Labour has delayed its plans to allow new North Sea drilling until after the Holborn and St Pancras byelection. A Green win on 8th October will add pressure on Labour to reverse this shortsighted and dangerous plan. theguardian.com/politics/202…

If we'd frozen peoples rent in 2022 - the average UK household would be saving £2400 every year. And saving the Government £2bn a year! Any Government who is serious about ending Rip Off Britain would bring in rent controls now.
Community note
Scottish trials of rent control found new renters experienced an 8.2% yearly increase, compared to the 6.7% UK average. connellsgroup.co.uk/news/2026/07/2…

This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

Europe is burning and Burnham wants to drill for more oil. We need politicians that believe in having a future. #climatechange #globalwarming

The mask is coming off. Andy Burnham used to support rent controls because "there was a significant crisis in the rental market" Sorry, what? Apparently now renters are just fine? Labour won't support renters properly. The Green Party will. Join.greenparty.org.uk
'We won't be looking at rent controls' On #BBCBreakfast Housing Secretary Angela Rayner said Andy Burnham's new government ruled out freezing rents as part of his cost of living measures bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c0n6g1…

So where's the news coverage of the 150,000 people who marched through London for Trans Rights today? Is that only a privilege that Yaxley Lennon receives?

It's not just me & Angela Rayner. If this Labour government rule out rent controls, a wealth tax, refuse to nationalise water companies, drill for oil and gas, continue to arm Israel - The country will be asking what's the point of a Labour Government? standard.co.uk/news/politics…

As Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister, the Leader of Southwark Council, Councillor James McAsh, has written to him on the importance of devolving more power away from Westminster, and enabling local authorities to build much-needed council homes (1/2)

Hard to think of a more damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter more dangerous planet #ClimateVandalism bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c935…

Just a few hours later we find out that he's been announced as a Lord - and there's briefings that Andy Burnham will take steps that will create further destruction of our planet. We see once again exactly who Labour are. New face. Same party.
Extreme heat is killing thousands. Wildfires are burning. In order to secure a liveable future we have to leave all fossil fuels in the ground. Why can't Labour party politicians be honest & direct about that?

Labour have taken money from oil & gas companies, arms trade, private healthcare and gambling firms. Until they resist vested interests - they'll never be the answer to ending rip off Britain. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Mahmood as chancellor is a Starmer level political decision that shows Burnham is not serious about progressive change.
Green Party source on briefings Ed M won’t be chancellor: “The Labour briefings on the chancellor are a gift to us. Openly highlighting they don’t want change, briefing that the bankers don’t want Miliband, surreal levels of hitting the ball over the bar.”
