President Trump:
The People of Aberdeen, in Scotland, are dancing in the streets because the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil! It is one of the Greatest Sources of quality Oil on Earth, has hundreds of years of Capacity left, with much not even found yet, and will make the United Kingdom, from a Poverty Stricken Disaster, to one of the Richest Countries anywhere in the World! Britain pays Norway Billions of Dollars a year to buy its Oil, which they get from a less valuable part of the North Sea — How ridiculous is that! Also, word is that the UK is going to move the old and horrible looking windmills, which loom over and destroy the City of Aberdeen. That will be a big day for the Country, and will be very much appreciated by everybody. Such great potential in the UK, but it all starts with OPENING NORTH SEA OIL. WE LOVE YOU SCOTLAND!

Andy Burnham, widely seen as the frontrunner to succeed Keir Starmer as UK prime minister, apologized for Labour’s initial response to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
“I know many people feel that my party didn’t get it right, and I am sorry about that,” Burnham told The Guardian. “The response has too often not been good enough. We need to do better.”
He added, “We’ve got to do more to put pressure on the Israeli government.”
“Yes, we have taken some important steps, but let’s be honest, the UK was too slow to call for a ceasefire,” Burnham said. “We must now do more to strengthen our approach.”
Burnham said a future government under his leadership would consider additional sanctions on Israeli individuals and entities, as well as potentially banning trade in goods produced in Israeli settlements.
