@thecanaryuk: “Far from shrinking under Andy Burnham, the hardcore Zionist influence at the very top of the British government has actually grown... From day one, Downing Street is broadcasting total alignment with Washington, Tel Aviv, and the transatlantic security establishment.” A close examination of team Burnham's first appointments and diplomatic silence reveals a sharp continuation of establishment foreign policy: Ian Austin appointed as Trade Envoy to Israel—a figure who previously urged Labour supporters to vote Conservative in 2019 to defeat Jeremy Corbyn. Ruth Anderson (Smeeth) handed a junior ministerial role in the Northern Ireland Office after her elevation to the Lords. Shabana Mahmood retained at the Home Office, maintaining state crackdowns on anti-war activists and Palestine Action. Ed Miliband’s Foreign Office remaining silent as ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan was ousted, refusing to assign state culpability to Israel. Airbase Approvals & Defense Trade: Granting Donald Trump permission to use British bases against Iran while addressing the Farnborough Airshow on day one, where Israeli arms giants exhibited. While Burnham secured power relying on nominations from the Labour left, not a single left-wing MP was granted a seat in his cabinet—leaving the left frozen out while corporate and military priorities take precedence. 📍 London 📅 28 July 2026 #AndyBurnham #UKForeignPolicy #Westminster @financialeyes
