In 2002, #JamesPurnell was a newbie MP, office-sharing with newbie #AndyBurnham.

James was chair of #LabourFriendsOfIsrael. #LFI took him to #Israel, as he wrote in #TheGuardian.https://archive.is/XP2g5 / https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/dec/12/israelandthepalestinians.jamespurnell

Usual #Israeli #hasbara via LFI. Purnell was on script.

Read it. No hint of a #Palestinian voice. James heard only Israel. 🤮

Now in 2026, #Purnell will be Chief-of-staff to Prime Minister #Burnham.

#Genocide in #Gaza. #Andy's #zionist at the core of #UKgov. 😡

The New Toy Story Makes the Series’ Saddest Sequence Even More Devastating

Toy Story 5 shows the best that parents can hope for. It’s still heartbreaking.

#Makerfield by-eiection smells wrong.

Campaign over. Vote on Thursday. Result on Friday morn. Monday, #Andy arrives at Euston like Fortinbras, strides over #Starmer's corpse.

Polls say LibDem+Green votes go to #Burnham, Tories go ReformUK. Andy tied with Reform, then Musk helps Restore steal Reform votes to give Andy a 5%–10% win.

I say too neat. Far too much going on. Huge shifts in multiple dimensions. Burnham is v complex.

I'm not calling it. But I think the polls will be far off.
