It’s gonna be hilarious if Burnham puts a second referendum in the next manifesto. Because the “anti-establishment” Farage is going to have to argue for the status quo and he can’t win that fight.
This is a total betrayal of Brexit Britain and his Makerfield pitch.
He is also deluded to say immigration was different when we were members of the EU.
We will fight this dishonesty.

In Friday's @NavigatePol weekly roundup, I looked into the effect budgets have on the Government's polling figures. The answer? Hardly at all.
Average change in polling: -0.4 pts
Only 4 of the last 21 budgets have caused a shift greater than 2pts!

This week's Weekly Roundup is out...

The Government gave Jackdaw the green light this week, as Andy Burnham found time between decisions on Britain’s energy future to tackle the equally weighty matter of someone playing ain. From North Sea drilling to the quiet carriage, no brief is apparently too big or too small. But with the Budget coming next week, all eyes now turn to the Chancellor – whose announcements may prove rather harder to greet with a polite request to turn it down.
And do Budget's impact the polls? Head over to our website the find out what @electionmapsuk found looking at what the last six Chancellors' Budgets did to their Government's standings amongst the public. Spoiler alert: it's much easier to do wrong than right...

If it was an AI data centre, I’d be right there with them. But arguably the most affordable shop for low-income families? Baffling.

Sorry to say but this is such a poor look. Burnham is raising money for charity in his spare time.
Him not doing it wouldn't solve child poverty. Greens need better comms than this.

'Is that a really good use of his time?'
'Raising money for a cancer charity?'
The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

There wasn’t this kind of outrage when Farage went into the jungle?
🚨 NEW: Reform and the Tories have called for Channel 4 to invite Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch to Gogglebox after Andy Burnham was confirmed to appear tomorrow night
Tory Source: “It’s Channel 4’s job to ensure political balance”

This shows that as much as there is a Burnham bounce, it’s pretty much exclusive to England and mainly the north of England at that

EXCL: Nigel Farage’s newest billionaire donor was in business with a powerful Iranian religious foundation under the authority of the country’s supreme leader, raising questions about his past dealings with the hardline republic.
Hossein Ghandehari, also called Sasan, was little known in the UK until he pledged to give millions to Reform UK this summer and donated £50,000 to Farage to cover the cost of two passes for the Davos World Economic Forum.

It’ll never not be funny to me that the same people who moan the most about Andy Burnham not being serious enough are always the ones who treated Boris Johnson as though he was the second coming.

I don’t know why people take pointing out that Burnham’s objectively quite popular by UK standards as an endorsement of the guy, I disagree with a good few of his decisions but it is just a fact that he has had a much more positive start with the public than any recent PM.
Burnham is, by far and away, the most popular politician in the country. Something you’d have no idea about if you only consumed political news on X.
The reality distortion field is as effective as ever!

Honestly, really happy about this. Shows that this show has still got life in it yet.
Due to such high demand, the BBC have announced an additional date for this #DoctorWho screening, taking place on Saturday 28th November.
Cineworld will also host an evening 4DX screening on Monday 23 November and Saturday 28 November at all 34 of its UK cinemas.
