Adam Brooks: Look at them, the same people that forced...
Look at them, the same people that forced him out for being so unpopular and taking down their party, are cheering like fan girls as he spoke and waved goodbye. Labour, you are embarrassing.
Craig Murray: So the UK now has a Chancellor...
So the UK now has a Chancellor obsessed with spending money on bombs and missiles and feeding the military industrial complex. Anybody expecting living standards to rise for ordinary people is a fool.
Kathy Gyngell: His aim 'to make politics better...
His aim 'to make politics better'???! When two in five voters (40%) described Andy Burnham's rise to Prime Minister as "illegitimate"! Hardly the best start for that ambition
Patrick Christys: Starmer and Labour’s attempt to re-write history...
Starmer and Labour’s attempt to re-write history is absolutely mental. A speech littered with lies, ridiculous applause from a load of MPs who have just ousted him. All patting themselves on the back despite ruining countless people’s lives over the last two years. Bonkers.
Dale Vince: I hope he doesn’t...
I hope he doesn’t - there’s no economic, energy bill or security justification - and it’s a major manifesto pledge that would be broken. Not an ideal way to start. On the flip side there’s a tiny amount of oil and gas left versus a considerable amount of noise and heat on this issue - if this deals with that, it’s not the end of the world, I mean it will barely make a difference to anything, carbon targets included. The bigger issue for me is to take back the £50 Billion that DESNZ plans to waste and put it to work, right now.
Lee Hurst: Burnham’s Labour govt borrows money...
Burnham’s Labour govt borrows money to give away to other countries in Overseas Aid. You, the taxpayer, then has to pay it back. IDEA Why not just tell the countries we give the money to to go and borrow it themselves?
Andrew Bridgen: Thousands of rapists to be freed...
Telegraph: Thousands of rapists to be freed under Labour early release. But not Alex Belfield who has been assessed at 0.19% risk to the public ( less than one fifth of one percent). What is going on in the UK ?Adam Brooks: We are living in dangerous times...
We are living in dangerous times. Under a UK Government & Establishment that will now blatantly put out misinformation & lies to shape the narrative. Once the narrative is set, new laws or powers are created. We aren’t being represented… we are being controlled & coerced.
James Foster: @Nigel_Farage has never been...
. @Nigel_Farage has never been “a man of the people”. He’s a career politician who has been successful in saying the right thing at the right time. But it seems it’s all starting to fall apart. We can but hope! #BBCLauraK
Lewis Brackpool: Burnham’s first act as prime minister...
Burnham’s first act as prime minister will be to send an additional £16.5 billion of tax payers money overseas. Setting the tone perfectly for what’s to come. British People Last!Lee Hurst: The Labour govt has just borrowed...
The Labour govt has just borrowed another £153 million to give to Pakistan. Pakistan, the country that refuses to take its rapists back. You will now be taxed to pay back the £153 million loan plus interest. Vote Labour you cretins.Andrew Bridgen: Andrew Burnham PM is just another...
Andrew Burnham PM is just another Fabian at the helm. Do not believe a word they say as they are all wolves in sheep’s clothing. The programme will continue with a different human shield.
Aaron Bastani: It’s extraordinary...
It’s extraordinary if this many senior Labour figures still don’t get this. You will all lose your seats!Craig Murray: This is the Labour Party...
This is the Labour Party. Boasting of cutting overseas aid to 50% of Tory levels. Sickening.
Alex Wickham: Bloomberg Saturday read with the great...
NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read with the great @ChaplainChloe — Andy Burnham wanted to take over on a wave of hope, good vibes and a promise to end the culture of infighting that sank Keir Starmer. Extraordinarily, that optimism is fading before he’s even taken office. — Even some Burnham supporters are already concerned his transition into No10 has been dominated by indecision, a policy vacuum and a power grab by his inner circle. At the centre of it is the remarkable falling out with Ed Miliband and a growing rebellion on the Labour soft-left, the faction that fought to get him the job in the first place. — Labour MPs and aides have a sense of foreboding that, far from representing a break from Starmer, Burnham is already succumbing to the same problems. Labour is united on the need for him to succeed but there’s mounting anxiety, one says. Another warns some of his earliest supporters are already starting to lose faith in the project. — Burnham tried to get ahead of the doubts yesterday, vowing to end the “insidious” culture of briefings, disunity and “point-scoring.” He insisted he had a plan. That followed his email to the PLP where he promised to be an inclusive team player. — But even people who support Burnham say it rings hollow and raises red flags. Several protest how his inner circle are conducting themselves. They say his close advisers have cut broader allies out of conversations about his plans. There are complaints about a top-down, ultra-centralised and opaque operation with an iron grip on power, blocking perceived rivals from jobs, the opposite of the inclusive approach he publicly espouses. — Labour officials say Burnham has already amassed a dangerously long list of internal enemies. The roll call of people with axes to grind may soon include Keir Starmer and his loyalists, Miliband, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, who is outside of Burnham’s circle, as well as Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper if they aren’t given top jobs. That is big and broad range of powerful opponents to have before you’ve even entered No10. — One aide says it was unnecessary to have put so many noses out of joint and that the disquiet is becoming unsustainable. Several warn Burnham risks losing the support of key figures in the party and inviting a leadership challenge before the next election, an extraordinary prospect given Labour was elected on a promise to end the Tory chaos. — The indecision and lack of transparency on appointments has caused nothing short of a meltdown among his allies who expect to get jobs. The fallout with Miliband is infuriating the Labour left who already feel badly let down. Another warns if this is how he treats the person who helped him become PM, it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the party. — Others say Burnham has made a bad error in appointing men to most of the senior roles in his No10 operation. There is disbelief he has reappointed nearly all of Starmer’s senior male aides and none of the senior women, despite his campaign pledging to end what they called a “boys’ club” in No10. — Shabana Mahmood as chancellor risks upsetting all sides, one source says. Many on the left consider her a right-winger due to her immigration stance, but moderates say in fact she holds left-wing economic views that will take the country in the wrong direction. — A Labour source says that when the history of Burnham’s transition into power is written, the question will be: “Were they left with too little time to think about all of this, or too much?"Lee Hurst: My greatest fear is not the next 3 years...
My greatest fear is not the next 3 years under Andy Burnham, but the next 5 years should the public be conned into voting for him in a snap General Election. Even 3 years will see a massive, gerrymandering demographic change in the UK. 5 years would end us permanently. This is also why I loathe Lowe supporters so much. They know this and choose to ignore it for their Big Fish/Small Pond fantasy.Adam Brooks: People will mock...
People will mock, and people like me will cringe. But let me tell you…this sort of behaviour will appeal to so many after the robotic and soulless nature of Starmer. This is a straight fight of Labour vs Reform now. We are at a crossroads.Go left again and country is finished.
Philip Proudfoot: Burnham should've ignored...
Burnham should've ignored the noise and appointed Miliband. Instead, by surrendering the treasury, his entire agenda is destined to fail before he's even in No. 10. It's all just staggeringly stupid, no lessons learned, and a bad sign of what's to come.Adam Brooks: One of the biggest lies...
One of the biggest lies that the left purport, is that the small boat migrant crisis is because of Brexit. It’s actually an outrageous lie. It is simply a crossover of timelines. Brexit happened and was implemented at the same time as a global migration exodus to Europe. If it was Brexit, why did Germany & Italy end up with so many illegals ? The Dublin agreement was also hardly used, because France would simply refuse to take them back, threaten court action and even tried to use it to send us MORE. Lefty MPs, commentators and social media users still push this utter lie.
Liz Webster: One of the saddest things after Brexit...
One of the saddest things after Brexit was seeing people who rightly opposed it cheering the decline of British farming because they believed farmers deserved it. Food security isn’t about rewarding farmers. It’s about feeding a nation. You don’t weaken domestic food production and expect only farmers to suffer. Eventually, empty shelves, higher prices and food insecurity reach every household. In the end, food doesn’t ask how you voted. Hunger doesn’t either.Alex Wickham: Still think it’s pretty wild that Wes Streeting...
Still think it’s pretty wild that Wes Streeting vowed on the record multiple times that he would force a contest then immediately tweeted that he was backing Burnham within minutes of Starmer quitting
David Frost: If (like Burnham) your diagnosis...
If (like Burnham) your diagnosis is that it all went wrong under Thatcher, and your solution is to go back to the 1970s, then you will inevitably fail, because your whole analysis is based on a fallacy. The only question is how long it will take before it happens. Ends
Edwin Hayward: There are suggestions that Burnham...
There are suggestions that Burnham may be planning to blame Thatcher for Britain's problems. Given that she was last in power 36 years ago and that you'd have to be in your mid-50s to have ever voted for her, this feels like a stretch and a half.

Labour on children: Energy drinks bad. LGBTQQIAAPPP+ inclusive Comprehensive Sexuality Education and puberty blocking experiments good. Labour are perverse. #LabourOut
Pat Condell: If the British police were doing their job...
If the British police were doing their job they would search every mosque for stockpiles of weapons, but they’re too gutless to do it because they know what they’d find, and somebody might call them racist. It’s safer to harass people for expressing opinions online.Alex Wickham: Burnham says...
Burnham says “I have supported all the Labour leaders in my lifetime.” Pretty demonstrably untrue given events of the last yearAdam Brooks: The Labour Government are hiding the sex crime...
The Labour Government are hiding the sex crime data of many migrants, because it shows you what we’ve been saying for YEARS. That we are importing sex criminals en masse.Andrew Bridgen: James Naish MP (whoever he is)...
James Naish MP (whoever he is) should get a political antennae , it’s his PM and leader Keir Starmer who has been forced out of office after less than two years as PM. Naish is clearly clueless - a useful idiot in the whole plan. Most of the public support the farmers - actually no one should be paying inheritance tax. Especially as our monarch doesn’t pay it .Lee Hurst: If England had won the World Cup...
If England had won the World Cup, Burnham would have called a GE and idiots would voted for him and he would have won. Fortunately we are still on course for 3 years of him and Labour left rather than 5.Read more
