Catch up on articles from me this week: - The Pre-Budget Gaslight: Labour's pre Budget media management broken down - Myth Busting Labour's Energy Claims: So much on this from media cheerleaders for more drilling, few facts. I list the truth. Get them on this link: substack.com/@devutopia/p...

Fine. Take the money back. Then we'll take back the air cover and navy ships protecting you from Iranian missiles. You can manage that yourselves. And we'll end any support for your evil war in Sudan. That's fair, right?

Burnham is maybe the best salesman / conman we've ever had as PM. He can make any old thing that been's around for ages sound like an amazing new idea that's he's just thought of. The "Disinformation Centre" is just the latest Burnham reheat. See the extensive list below.

The BBC gave Farage prime news time to bat away allegations with softball questions and play the victim. Will they offer Zack Polanski the same courtesy next time they're amplifying smears against him? We both know the answer. #BrokenMedia #BBCBias

The “Russia threat” madness is getting more surreal. US. The world's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was the R-7 Semyorka, tested in 1957 by the USSR. It really isn’t headline news in 2026 that Russia is testing its missiles.

When even Farage has worked out a picnic is missing sandwiches, drinks, snacks, cutlery and a hamper. But has a cat called Gerrard who sings the Algerian national anthem in Japanese.

Most media coverage on North Sea drilling isn't fact checking. Some have dropped the "it'll bring bills down" lie. But they still focus on why new drilling should go ahead. Only 2 reasons left: it funds green transition and energy security. Neither survives. devutopia.substack.com/p/whats-actu...

A real joy of Starmer's time as PM was when his posts would get community noted for the lies he threw out. It's good to see Burnham is keeping this going.

Thanks Andy is trending on X and I do suggest you look at it if you can to see just what an idiot people think Burnham is. It took Starmer much longer to be seen as a gimp. Burnham managed it less than a month with this stupid alert. Turns out being PM really is nothing like being a mayor.

Sorry but Burnham's response to the heatwave crisis is too little, too late. He didn't even use the word climate from the day he became an MP until today. A BBQ and a text message just doesn't cut it. Stop making TikTok's and get on with the list below...

The only explanation for MPs making this change is that most of them are corrupt as hell and busy stuffing their pockets with money.

Burnham can’t TikTok his way out of this, the situation with water is getting worse and worse. Renationalisation is the only sane option. Will he do it?

The Ministry of Defence just can't be trusted with the ££ fortunes Labour wants to give them. They are biologically incapable of spending money wisely. Spend the money on the NHS and social care instead.

Thursday: Burnham announces 200 new mental health centres. Big headlines. Good vibes. Saturday's Guardian front page: two thirds of NHS trusts cutting mental health care this year. Starmer may have gone. Labour's relationship with the truth hasn't.

I'm unclear on what level of delusion or amount of hard drugs would be needed to get to the conclusion that Burnham is a return to "Old Labour" and then use a pic of Benn and Foot for that fever dream.

No. Just like he won't bring in PR or move closer to Europe. Why make life better for ordinary people instead of billionaires?

Don't worry Burnham's got this. As soon as he's finished his hols he'll be back to do one of his Northern lad TkToks where he'll say "he's thinking about this" or "considering what to do". His go to solution for any issue, vibes.

Labour: "We will end neoliberalism." Also Labour: let's identify which primary school children are destined to be unemployed. Not fix the economy that leaves young people with no future. Not create the jobs. Not invest in the communities. Label little kids as potential failures
