What I really want to hear Burnham say is that awful, evil politicians have been fearmongering and weaponising the whole issue of immigration, in a way that causes everyone harm. He doesn’t even need to mention that Starmer was one of them.
A month ago, I exposed how Trump's Freedom 250 operation was riddled with self-dealing, political favoritism, and efforts to hijack our nation's birthday for his own agenda. Now here we are with another funding request, another abuse of taxpayer dollars. It’s the grift that keeps on giving.

Dr. Steven BuckleyThey have now since update the article with a bit of 'his critics said that' sort stuff. No mention how he once wrote he couldn't be a teacher as he'd want to shag the kids.
Sad to see that, in 2026, 'he wrote horrifically unpleasant, bigoted things but did so fearlessly and with brio,' is considered a fitting tribute by so many in the media. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...
Sunday Times and Sun columnist Rod Liddle dies aged 66Tributes paid across industry to provocative journalist who died after short illnesswww.theguardian.comThe evidence is clear: neighbourhood crime is falling across London.
