What a charming picture



Burnham allies talk up Rayner return

  



Allies of Andy Burnham believe Angela Rayner could make a political comeback if he replaces Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader.

MPs think that the former deputy prime minister could provide the Mayor of Manchester with support from inside the Parliamentary Labour Party ahead of his comeback to the Commons.

What was she singing?
"Back in the USSR"? "Money, That's What I Want"? "Can't Buy Me Love"? "Tax Man"?

Or maybe not: Liverpool songs.

dearieme - "Another One Bites the Dust" or maybe "You're So Vain."

James - sorry about that, I recommend coffee and dark chocolate which should help. That's my antidote plan.
