After spending time on the critical issue of noise on public transport he has now used his gigantic brain to scrap something which did not exist and claim it as a win.

We are in safe hands, the future is bright

Is your memory not that great? I think you will find plenty did!
In the Makerfield by-election on 18 June 2026, Labour’s Andy Burnham won with a majority of 9,231 votes, he secured 54.8% of the vote.😏
Some light reading for you Public prefer a Burnham led Labour government to main alternatives

It's hard to argue against 25,000 votes being plenty, that's @ 0.05% of the national electorate.

What he is doing is actually politically very clever. He is announcing little things that people care about but cost very little. They provide a feel good boost to counter the impending budget which is almost certain to generate critical headlines. Budgets usually do when they take rather than give. As this one must.

How about deporting illegals, not granting residency, reviewing revoking the massive number of bogus claims granted already, clamping down on immigrant crime and stopping all new arrivals?

All what people want and a massive free injection of cash. £15bn to be precise.

As we see today with the UK sending jets to Saudi Arabia, labour have learned nothing from the Tony Blair era.

They are basically going to do whatever the US/Israel wants regardless of the changes taking place in the world.

He will do some useful things at home but ending neo-liberalism is not one of them, as I think the forthcoming budget will show.

Manifestly not.

In fairness, deportations of a few thousand would probably cost a billion these days. And imagine the protests.
