The Andy Burnham Labour government

[ALB]

Now that Starmer has gone and Burnham has taken over we need a new thread to record the inevitable failure to make capitalism work in the interest of the workers and the anti-working class actions of the new government.

Here, to start with, is where he describes his policy as “business-friendly socialism “:

To avoid having the plough through this document till you get it, use a search engine for the word “socialism”. It only occurs once.

My Mum had a severe stroke. We had to put her in a care home because she needed around the clock nursing care. It cost 1300 per week – I kid you not. The place was staffed with low paid care workers. If Burnham can fix the care of the elderly he will give the working class hope. But I don’t think he will.
