Andy Burnham should drop his EU obsession and focus on the country's real problems. We don't need another decade of back-and-forth over Europe.
And all for the grand prize of handing over control of our borders to the people who let 60,000 migrants break into Spain in one day.
Andy Burnham has opened the door to freedom of movement with the EU and said that the country needs to have an “evidence-based debate” about the issue

It’s none of Lambeth Council’s business how much money companies in the borough make.
Instead of browbeating them, why don’t they do their own job, and fix potholes and collect bins?
Any business hounded out of a Green-run borough is very welcome to move to a Conservative one.

Basic infrastructure in our country is literally crumbling.
And yet the charity that's supposed to maintain London's bridges is funnelling millions to climate activists and groups with alleged ties to Hamas.
We are truly through the looking glass now.
London bridges charity gave £1.1million to Muslim group whose trustee 'has ties to Hamas' while capital's river crossings crumble trib.al/NGHLdTY

Labour is attacking local democracy again and stripping councillors of their powers over planning to the unelected.
Local democracy matters. Watch why I am joining Conservative councillors in opposing these changes.
