By lunchtime today, the UK will have its fifth prime minister in four years.No other sentence can so pithily summarise the nature of British politics right now than that one.In the summer of 2022 Boris Johnson was on his way out, but still in office. Since then there has been Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer.Little wonder Andy Burnham will say later, we are told, that he is “acutely conscious” of this churn at the top. His critics, within the Labour Party and beyond it, may allow themselves a wry smile at that, given they would argue he…

The lenders to Thames Water are preparing a legal challenge in case a Burnham-led government attempts to nationalise the UK’s biggest water company.Burnham – who takes over as PM on Monday – has previously said he wants to see “greater public control” of the water and energy sectors and has called for Thames Water to be nationalised.Thames Water is about £20bn in debt. Its lenders had proposed a deal to write off nearly half of that and inject new cash in return for some leniency from future pollution fines, but this deal has previously been rejected by the government as…

Donaldson’s time in politics began in 1985 when he was elected for the UUP to represent the South Down constituency in the 1980s iteration of the Northern Ireland Assembly.Before his election, he had worked for South Down MP Enoch Powell who had joined the Ulster Unionists from the Conservatives in the 1970s.In 1997, when his boss James Molyneaux retired as the Lagan Valley MP, Donaldson retained the seat comfortably for the UUP.But his unhappiness with the party became obvious as political negotiations at Stormont moved towards the signing of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.He became one of the UUP’s biggest…
