Narrative

On the airwaves, the Prime Minister said Britain has ‘significant problems’ and that with his conference speech later today ‘we can start to put it right’, apparently forgetting the fact he’s been in charge for more than ten weeks. Throughout the summer, following Burnham’s knife-in-the-back takeover, his administration was so veiled and wraithlike that it was easy to miss just how it has lurched towards radicalism.

🔮 The Foreign Secretary continues to ignore grave concerns raised by British Jews – including the Chief Rabbi, who has warned the sanctions will leave his community even less safe.
