This will be fun……..any other restrictions you would like to impose.

Isn’t there anything more up to date? Things have changed radically in the past 16 years, so I doubt what was said in 2010 is terribly useful today tbh.

The Casey Commission is ongoing with a public consultation due to start soon so one would assume his policy is going to be built on those findings and eventual recommendations.

We shall see if he has anything specific to say on the subject in the speeches he is due to make later today:

There was a piece on "Today" where they quoted him Whitewave. This was outlining what he is expected to say as he takes over - the speeches expected next week.

Be interested how his biews have or not change

I am simply hoping for a good social care package, and it isnt just the elderly - it is the disabled and sick, child care and temporary care in times of crises We havd been promised one for decades - i suspect that the treasury has had its finger very firmly in that pie

It will be interesting. So far when questioned on any of his previous statements he had been happy to dispense with as soon as it becomes politically expedient.

Take his offensive opinions on transgenderism – which, like his pro-Remain stance, he is now hastily sacrificing on the altar of political opportunity.

Having flip-flopped on rejoining the EU, realising that reversing the referendum might not go down so well in a seat that voted 65 per cent Leave, Burnham is now urging everyone to support new code of practice which confirms that many single-sex space facilities open to the public must be used based on biological sex.

What a staggering – scarcely believable – turnaround.
