ConservativeHome’s round-up of ten of our best articles from the preceding week.
All politicians like to be photographed at election time pulling a pint of beer, but the man who has stepped forward for the past 30 years as the true champion of the man in the pub is Nigel Farage.
From what we have seen of Burnham thus far, his agenda appears to be little more than spend now, pay later. A Mancunian take on Klarna which leaves future generations footing the bill.
Having enjoyed the backing of close to the entirety of the PLP, Burnham appears to have fallen at the first hurdle after entering Number 10. To justify these types of actions – these ideological purges and unfunded commitments – one requires some type of Great Leap Forward
In a matter of hours, Reeves, Lammy and others were sacked from the Cabinet, paving the way for a sort of Mancunian mafia to take control. ‘Cosa Nostra’ the Cabinet whispers together in a thick northern accent, as they sit down for their first meeting

It was, no doubt of it, a surprise to many given the stern, strident headmistress-like persona she had in public life, that she was, privately, immensely kind and gentle.

The appeals from a number of MPs comes to blows with the mindset of LOTO. The reality, as much of a cop out answer as it may seem, is that only Kemi Badenoch knows whether a reshuffle will occur. At the moment, we can only take her on her word – that she is “not planning a reshuffle at the moment.”
