• Burnham to urge MPs to embrace closer ties with EU

Many commentators said the best moment in Kemi Badenoch's party conference speech last week came when she attacked ethnonationalists, and people like Suella Braverman who suggest black people can't be English.

Andy Burnham liked it. He told the Rest is Politics:

I thought Kemi Badenoch did a very brave thing at her conference this week. In some ways, she did something similar to what I did at Liverpool, where she spoke from real personal experience. And that gave her the power to make that point that she did about the racism that we see in politics these days. And that clear dividing line she drew with others on the right, I thought was a real moment in British politics.

It's something that I can't say I ever want to see anywhere in the world. It's something that I find quite abhorrent in many ways. But I only want to speak for what we will do, and why we will do it.

Let Britain stand for something in a world that seems to change every day.
