“I firmly believe that Britain’s future lies inside the European Union”
says former Chancellor Rachel Reeves
She knows she's lying. We know she's lying. She knows we know she's lying.
We know she knows we know she's lying.
Yet the lies continue.
Investment in offshore wind and clean power is creating quality jobs and rebuilding industry, while delivering the clean power we need to lower bills and reach net zero.
As the world gathers at COP31, Britain is leading from the front as a renewable energy powerhouse, turning the fight against climate change into a brighter future for British companies, industrial communities, and future generations.
"The whole world is appalled and disgusted at what's now happening in Gaza, where people are dying because of lack of aid and the terrible flood."
—Jeremy Corbyn challenges Burnham to send aid directly & hold an inquiry into British complicity in Gaza.
The EU has never agreed deals with anyone, ever, in a matter of months, never mind weeks in this case.
So this was all *pre-planned*.
Just WHO exactly is Burnham working for?
🚨Burnham’s EU Reset Threatens to Price Out Nearly 90% of British Goods Exports
Andy Burnham’s plan to deepen EU alignment—linking to the bloc’s carbon trading system and carbon border charges—looks set to load extra costs onto nearly 90% of UK goods exports for the sake of marginal supermarket import savings that may never reach the high street, according to trade analyst Catherine McBride in The Daily Sceptic.
The sectors at risk are machinery and transport equipment (the biggest slice), chemicals, miscellaneous manufactures, fuels and basic materials.
Higher carbon taxes, import tariffs on inputs and new packaging rules would make these products more expensive to produce and sell abroad. UK exports are already mostly services (around 57%), which stay largely unaffected, while goods have been shrinking for years under high domestic energy costs.
The main upside she cites is slightly cheaper imports for a few supermarkets, some foreign-owned, with little clear benefit for British manufacturers or shoppers.
The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident around the world. No country can ignore the challenges posed by climate change.
Today, I delivered Finland’s national statement at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. In my statement, I highlighted three key messages:
1. We cannot solve the climate crisis without multilateralism.
2. Our actions must be based on science and innovation.
3. Climate action also strengthens competitiveness and economic resilience.
Further to our letter of 7th November, we are writing again to express our grave concern at the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The people of Gaza cannot be left to face another winter in flooded tents, without adequate shelter, medical care, or the basic necessities of life. Their suffering is not inevitable. The restrictions preventing them from accessing the means to survive and rebuild must be challenged directly and urgently.
At 11am today, the nation fell silent to honour all those who served and sacrificed for our country.
We will remember them.
The Prime Minister @andyburnham has said he will unveil the UK's ten year plan by mid-December.
Speaking at Prime Ministers question time he said the plan would re-industrialise Britain, build our defence, care and public services and deliver growth.

Rosebank will be a disaster in the battle against climate change - and will do nothing to lower people's energy bills or deliver the energy security we need.
In today's Parliamentary debate, I called on the Government not to approve Rosebank.
This summer was the summer of truth all around the world.
From natural disasters erupting everywhere.
To the heavy cost of fossil fuel dependence on livelihoods.
But the future is still ours to decide.
And Europe will work with all its partners to tip the scales in our favour.
Liberal Democrat leader 🤡 Ed Davey urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham during Prime Minister’s Questions to support the English Ethnic Identity Bill. This bill would add “Black English” and “Asian English” as tick-box options on the UK census.
The country is facing severe financial difficulties and heating homes and buying food are unaffordable for many. Meanwhile, the government seems preoccupied with increasing the census rather than addressing these pressing issues.
It’s as if they’ve thought of everything else to do .. but actually help struggling families and our elderly
PMQs
It is great to see dodgy shops being raided as this Labour government cracks down on dodgy vapes.
But we need the consultation on stronger licensing, rigorous enforcement and regular testing.
We can revive our High Streets together with Labour.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told PMQs that they will announce the government's 10 year plan before the end of the year
Europe delivers.
We are committed to becoming the first climate neutral continent.
We’re speeding up electrification.
And we remain the largest provider of climate finance globally.
Because the clean transition can only succeed if it succeeds worldwide.

This major investment in UK renewables is a huge vote of confidence in in Britain’s drive for clean energy.

"Fossil fuels must go the way of the dinosaurs.
But that won’t happen on its own.
The dinosaurs didn't have a lobby.
But fossil fuels do.
And their strategy is simple:
Distort the science. Delay the policy. Delay the action. Delay the accountability."
