andy burnham. — any level of culpability? andy burnham, now— any level of culpability?hat would have to come further down the line. in the meantime, i think what campaigners and victims want is a full apology. there's been an apology from government ministers, but they want a more fulsome apology that spells out exactly what went wrong. the headlines on bbc news: lancashire police have said they believe mum—of—two nicola bulley fell into the river wyre — and there are no suspicious circumstances nicola bulley fell into the river wyre — and there are no suspicious circumstances closing statements are being heard in public inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s and 80s, in which 30,000 were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. a man who climbed into windsor castle with a loaded crossbow, admits a treason charge for trying to harm the late queen. a man who was caught on the grounds of windsor castle with a loaded crossbow has pleaded guilty to treason. jaswant singh chail was arrested on christmas day in 2021, after telling a royal protection officer that h

bread—and—butter of, i don't know, the mayor of a big city in the north—west, like greater manchester, like andy burnhamster. hello! we have not caught up for a while so nice to speak to you. i was talking to len mccluskey on the last episode and he was saying that keir starmer needs to do more to be on the side of ordinary people and maybe some of his support for striking workers has been rather lukewarm lately. what is your take on that? anybody on the front bench in parliament has obviously got a different job to do than the likes of somebody like me. so i understand that but i think they are showing real support and that is good to see. i think that the issue is that you have labour saying sit down with people, listen to them, they're having real trouble with the cost of living crisis and these are the people we clapped for, the people we should support but on the other hand it would feel as though the government are kind of seeking the sort of political confrontation with the unions for their own purposes. i don't know, it feels increasingly like there is a clear difference between the main parties
