This is outrageous. And it's taking place on Andy Burnham's watch. This won't have happened without Home Office approval. Continuity Starmer Authoritarianism on public display.

Really important. Please support it if you can.

So much for the recent froth about his purported interest in a land value tax, which has the potential to be a major progressive shift in tax policy.

Only a day in post and Miliband has failed already. Entirely expected from him given Burnham's position on the issue and his own politics. But seriously?! Labour are rapidly sliding further into a moral swamp of their own creation.

Send them down. And put the feckers on a strict bread and (sewage) water regime.
