“Burnham’s no ‘King of the North – he’s the Menace from Manchester for the left”

by Rachael Swindon in The Canary

“Polls show Burnham is outpacing Starmer among Labour members, which really shouldn’t be too difficult. Burnham’s folksy charm and occasional rhetorical flourishes about public control of essential utilities play rather well in working-class heartlands.

So let’s be absolutely clear from the word go. Andy Burnham is no saviour of the left. He is its latest disappointment, dressed in a tracksuit and a warm regional accent.

Worse, his brand of soft-left managerialism poses a direct danger to the Green Party’s growing, necessary challenge to the broken two-party system”

A Tanka–Shadorma conversation

W3 poetry prompt

For last week’s W3 prompt, Reena encourages us to combine a Western poetic form with a Japanese poetry form. In this poem, I used alternating tankas and shadormas to create a conversation about continuity, disruption, and the fleeting ways people adapt and connect within a changing Jerusalem.

The tankas draw on the older Japanese tradition’s sensitivity to continuity, impermanence, and everyday human connection, while the more modern shadormas respond in a sharper, more skeptical voice, focusing on interruption, disorientation, and the fragile traces people leave behind.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Upon unpacking, excavating, histories of #ideas, ideologies, and #systems of thought, they reveal continuities, ruptures, coalescence, and discontinuities, and in both #time and #place.

This post is about #continuity, a place where we used to meet as grad students at U of Toronto in 1990s to discuss ideas and more. The tradition and critical thinking continue in 2026. And as a York U alum.
