Burnham recommits to net zero as MPs warn phrase is 'toxic' with voters
Andy Burnham today gave vocal support to Net Zero and ploughed more taxpayer cash into reaching 2050 environmental targets today, despite MPs warning weary voters are increasingly turned off by it.
Energy bills could rise more than £400 next year, new forecasts warn
Energy bills could rise more than £400 next year, new forecasts warn
Household energy costs could rise by over £400 in the new year, forecasters have warned, as financial pressure from conflict in the Middle East continues to affect fuel prices.
Andrew Burnham's position as placeholder PM already seems fragile. He lacks the experience or ability to tackle any of our major UK problems, but presumably it wasn't supposed to become this obvious so soon.
Even a few Makerfield voters must wonder what they have done, but unfortunately Ed Miliband will be watching the situation. Things could become even worse.

Milipede PM ... mind boggles.
James - it does boggle, but the threat is there.
In the name of all that's holy, what do Liebour - amongst the many other hooks, crooks and comic singers - have to do to stop the uninformed voting for them?
Just because someone is keeping their powder dry doesn't mean they will get a chance to ignite it. Or that the power is not inert.
Miliband has been the leader of the Labour Party before but couldn't quite manage for the Party to win a General Election. Hopefully he has lost his chance to be anything but a runner-up.
"voters are increasingly turned off by it"
And that is all they care about. They would never suggest doing or not doing X, Y or Z because it's the right thing to do or not do, but because of the number of votes they would get
A political party with integrity would say that they intend to do a thing because they think it's right, then let the voters decide if they agree or not. A political party that just wants to cling on to power for powers sake, will base decisions on how likely they think they will keep that power
Jannie - it's where the problem comes to rest, far too many uninformed voters just keep voting for what they appear to see as 'their team' and experience suggests this won't change.
DJ - I hope he has lost his chance although he still seems to have the ambition and Labour appears to have nobody with the charisma and talent they need. Pumping up another dud might still appeal to them.
Bucko - yes, when they say "voters are increasingly turned off by it" they mean the script should change, nothing else.
