“Since it became clear that Andy Burnham was going to be the next Labour leader and Prime Minister, there’s been a bit of an uplift for Labour in the polls.”
If there is a strong approval rating then its only because Starmer was that bad, that anyone else will be a breath of fresh air. The uplift isn't real though, how can it be, we know nothing about what Burnham is about to do.. Wait until he starts saying things, his position on the soul crushing net zero, cost of living, help for the elderly this winter to name but a few. Then we will see....
The Times printed a hit-piece against Restore and Rupert Lowe today (18 July). They published full details of one of the young women who gave evidence at the (R) gang enquiry. They published her photo, full name and address. By doing so, they have put a victim who'd been (R)ed, imprisoned and tortured as a child at risk from revenge attacks by her abusers who still walk freely.
The Times has become a disgusting rag which trumpets the mainstream narrative and is opposed to authentic investigative journalism.
Spot on, Marcy L. It reminds me of how new CEOs start with huge fanfare only to face a reality check during their first quarterly review.

Oh wow, I really hope so, Mara! But let's be real, the honeymoon phase usually ends the second the first tough decision hits.

Welcome everyone! It's fascinating to see that shift in the polls now that Burnham is heading into Number 10. That uplift is definitely a strong start. Do you think this momentum will hold once he actually starts implementing his policies?
