"Free movement had allowed, in my view, the undercutting of wages. Some people debate this, but I saw evidence of it. Where people were brought in by agencies from other European countries and it was used to bring wages down"
Andy Burnham in 2019

There is nothing socialist about a system of free movement that is used by multi-nationals to undermine wages. WATCH my Brexit speech today.

Jonathan Powell’s position as National Security Adviser is untenable.
His repeated meetings with the CCP were disclosed not by the British Government, but by Chinese Communist Party read outs, and serious questions remain over his role in the collapsed China spy case.
He is responsible for the Government’s disastrous Chagos negotiations and still advocates giving away billions in taxpayer money to surrender a British territory.
He has refused to appear before many Parliamentary committees.
Now, concerning material shared publicly by his wife raises further questions about his judgement and sharing access to sensitive information.
If he were a Minister, he would have to appear in front of Parliament to answer for these glaring concerns.
Instead, the man running our foreign policy and national security refuses any scrutiny.

Valdo Calocane killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.
He escaped murder charges and was found guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
Now he could be released as early as January - less than four years after he killed them.
He should never walk free.

Wow - listen to what Czech PM Andrej Babiš says to Sky’s Alistair Bunkall when he’s asked ‘Will you support Britain re-joining the EU?’
"Yes, of course. We need more money.”

My vote on Brexit was affected by disinformation. I voted Remain because I was told if Leave won there would be terrible consequences.
The BoE Governor told me he would raise interest rates - he lowered them.
The Chancellor said he'd have an emergency budget - he didn't.
The Treasury said unemployment would go up - it went down.
Goldman Sachs and others said they would pull out of Britain - they spent billions on new HQs
The Chief Executive of the NHS Alliance said there would be an epidemic of super-gonorrhoea.
As for foreign interference - The EU, the US and Irish Presidents etc etc all weighed in on the side of Remain.

🚨 NEW: An investigation by The Times has found the Government is paying sickness benefits to almost two million people without knowing whether they still qualify

🚨NEW: Labour-run Birmingham City Council accidentally sold an entire primary school along with a semi-detached house for £395,000 after the council's conveyancer signed the transfer document without spotting that it included the school
[@DailyMail]
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The statement of "New" is misleading since this happened in 2013.
Otherwise according to Grok, this is factually correct:

Over the summer, Henry Nowak's final moments were broadcast around the world. He was just eighteen, and when the police reached him on a street in Southampton he would have believed that help had come. He told them he had been stabbed and could not breathe, and they handcuffed and arrested him.
I met Henry's family in June, and that meeting has stayed with me ever since. There is still much more to be said about how the police failed Henry, and about how they went on failing his family and loved ones right up until the conviction.
The day after we met, I wrote to the then Prime Minister, Keir Starmer asking for an independent, rapid review of the police response, the decisions that followed, and the role of the police watchdog. I didn't publish that letter at the time, because I hoped the Government would do the right thing and I wanted to work with them quietly to make that happen. Downing Street's answer was to wait for the existing processes to run their course.
Since then, Keir Starmer has gone and Andy Burnham has taken his place, yet still there is no review. There was little mention of victims in the PM’s speech earlier this week. Henry's family have waited long enough, so today I'm publishing my letter. Andy Burnham should order the review now, and I stand ready to work with him to set it up, as I offered in June.
I haven't forgotten Henry, and I won't let this Government forget him either.

So the reality of the Tourism Tax. You all think that it is great because only forriners pay it? All the Mayors are wetting their knickers and pee-ing in their pants at the chance to gouge some money out of visitors - well really out of hotels tbf. The posturing pointless mayor of a declining Northern city whacks on the impost, raises two or three million and splurges it at favoured pet (get me re-elected) "communidy" projects plus a few extra buses. A couple of hotels shut up shop but no biggie 'cos we've a regen scheme that will turn those hotels into cheap flats (they don't put it that way it will be "huge investment in new apartment living opportunities" complete with a picture of the mayor holding something conveniently covering over her wet pants).
If you're in charge of Florence, Venice or Athens then tourism taxes make sense - they help control visitor numbers in places that can barely contain those numbers. If you're Birmingham, much though I love the place, none of this applies. You want every visitor pound you can get your mitts on. And taxing those pounds so you can fund a multicultural centre in Aston really doesn't help. Except maybe with a vote or two. Screw the visitor economy, get re-elected may be a good personal strategy, it ain't good for your city's economy.

LOOK AT WHAT FOLLOWED.
Grievances.
Resignation.
Threats.
Defamation.
Regulatory referrals.
Solicitors’ letters.
A data breach.
Police at my home.
Damage to my career and professional reputation.
Years spent chasing documents, evidence and answers.
And now — the High Court.
People constantly ask:
“WHY DON’T NHS STAFF SPEAK OUT?”
Perhaps we’re asking the wrong question.
WHAT HAPPENS TO NHS STAFF WHO DO SPEAK OUT?
What message does this send to the next nurse, midwife, doctor or healthcare professional who witnesses something they believe is unsafe?
Stay quiet and protect yourself?
Or speak up and risk everything?
I chose to speak.
I will not be frightened into silence.
Every document.
Every referral.
Every letter.
Every statement.
Every piece of evidence.
LET THE COURTS SEE IT.
This is bigger than me.
Whistleblowers must be able to raise concerns without fearing the destruction of their careers, livelihoods and reputations for daring to speak. @ArturNadol7566 @KenZeroHarm @YvetteCooperMP @andyburnham @Simonekatz4tay @BarbarasBack

I am furious.
Our son was murdered by a man whose violent and vicious history and risks were repeatedly missed.
Now we learn that another mentally ill man with a fixation on us and the Nottingham case travelled to Somerset, including our home town, seeking out victims' families; and the police chose not to tell us.
@nottspolice knew. The @policeconduct knew.
Yet nobody thought Barnaby's family deserved a warning.
Nobody thought Charlie's school deserved safeguarding advice.
Nobody thought we had a right to know.
Is this even legal? Isn’t this within 'Osman warning'.
As @drsanjoykumar points out in the story; the Calocane family were heaped with additional support and resources, including CCTV to make them safe.
We had zero.
How many more shocking failures are we expected to uncover ourselves?
Victims' families should not have to fight for every piece of information while those responsible hide behind processes and excuses.
STILL no accountability for ANYONE in these failed agencies.
