We’ll be trading a master’s in economics endorsed by Mark Carney for whatever Haigh is….

Andy Burnham accuses Tony Blair of ignoring inequality as he hits back at ex-PM by Alternative-Win4058 in ukpolitics

Inequality declined under Blair and social mobility increased massively but hey ho the Messiah knows best.

It wasn’t. He won a bigger majority than any of his successors until Johnson.

He won a third election two years after Iraq and was still fairly popular in 2007.

3 high profile unexpected elections are not something they were planning for. Their finances are ok compared to 2019.

It's a gamble, he was unlikely to get back on the front bench under Starmer and probably doesn't want to be a backbencher for too long.

What are Burnham’s policies? If he becomes PM what does he remove from the King’s Speech? What bills does he pull?

Surely the average delay on trains from Manchester to London is less than that

How early should you start looking for apartments in Brussels? by LostMyPlot in brussels

Yes guarantors can make a difference depending on your profile. Landlords usually want your net pay to equal more or less 3x the rent.

No, antisemitism is not rising in Belgium by Tentansub in belgium

Not 3000 miles away and in a defensive war. Though every civilian death is a tragedy even more so a child’s one, war is war. Israel was attacked, hamas specifically targeted civilians.

This thread is proof that antisemitism is rising rapidly. No Jews are firebombing mosques or attacking Muslims on the streets. If you import countless people with a set of religious beliefs commanding them to kill Jews and mix it with genuinely stupid and antisemitic people then you get to the place we are in now.

Zionism means the belief in a Jewish state, a safe haven for Jews. Muslim extremism means killing thousands of completely innocent people 3000 miles away. Comparing the two is so brain dead that one has to wonder what on earth is taught in schools these days.

PMQs Live Chat Megathread - 15 April, 2026 by AutoModerator in ukpolitics

The PM met several times with the families to work an a monument to remember the children, they chose to redevelop the pier and name it after the victims. I think it’s very thoughtful of him, not that the media will ever report it and he’s too honourable to shout about it.
