@EmilyThornberry . I’m a Labour member with 36 others in a NW business group. All 36 were donors . But sadly the person you say was not a pro- politician implemented 66 great Royal enactments in 18 months and won over a 100 seat majority . So you gave us Bumbling Burnham.

Andy Burnham claims he cannot “change things” during his first year in power, but has a ten-year plan. Yet he forced Keir Starmer (who performed far better) out in two. The hypocrisy is staggering. We were better with Keir!

The number one rule of a political adviser is keep quiet in public. To keep off social media and to be the voice behind the scenes. But just for today I’m breaking that rule. I first met Keir Starmer more than twelve years ago when he was standing to be the Labour Party candidate in Holborn and St Pancras. Since then I have had the privilege of being by his side. From Brexit to the pandemic, leadership campaign to election, opposition to government. Changing Labour from a party of protest to a party of change. Having the chance to do what politics is really about: improving people’s lives. Keir is a man of extraordinary strength, determination and decency. I’m so proud of what we have achieved together. Others will judge his time in politics as they see fit. But for me I see a Britain today that is a better country because of his leadership. Right, back to staying quiet.

I feel unnerved. Unnerved because in critical times this Burnham led government is not savvy or wise or gifted. Their key ministers and leader behave like an in group who won a tug of war contest. I miss that comfortable cushion of Starmer nearly always being right in the end.

Dear @JohnHealey_MP , did you know that the State Pension pays £241 per week? Your proposed new Minimum Wage pays £528 for 40 hours. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT WE PENSIONERS TO LIVE ON LESS THAN HALF THE MINIMUM WAGE?????

@andyburnham Nov 2025: "When Westminster goes into a sort of meltdown I'm always sort of dragged into it...I am not going to sit here & kind of rule out what might or might not happen in the future, because why would I?" He'd been planning for 4 months to oust @Keir_Starmer - according to Louise Haigh in July this year.

@andyburnham Sir Keir Starmer walked out with dignity and integrity, without criticising you , you backstabbed him and lied to steal his job and you have audacity to have friendly chat, interview with Campbell and criticise Keir Starmer , shame on you , people can see who you are

The bare faced cheek of the man. He took away the voices of the membership and still hasn’t addressed that.

Judging by the overwhelming backlash to Burnhams attempts at competing with 'Loose Women' this weekend -from every corner of the political spectrum, its safe to say that Burnham is viewed as a political liability. Struggling to inhabit the role of most powerful person in the UK.

What a cosy chat- won't hold press conferences but happy to slag off SKS who he knows won't respond bcos he puts country before self. And Burnham has the cheek to talk about factions when he & chums formed one. Appallingly disingenuous.

🚨BURNHAM’S “MAN OF THE PEOPLE” LONDON FLAT WAS HELPED BY £16,000 IN TAXPAYER CASH Andy Burnham bought a £215,000 Kennington flat in 2005 after negotiating to add most of an £18,200 Dolphin Square tenancy buy-out to his parliamentary second-home allowance, then claimed £16,644 in expenses covering stamp duty, legal fees and a new kitchen. Contemporary reports show he later rented the property out (now estimated around double its purchase price) while claiming roughly £17,000 a year from taxpayers for a different London flat. The self-styled voice of ordinary people, who has criticised landlords and housing profiteering, still owns an asset acquired and improved with public money under rules he and others later condemned.

When Trump’s presidency is over, it should be annulled. No library, no portrait, no titles, no honors, no Nobel prize. It’s a record of shame. Do you agree?

HE CAN BE BEATEN. E Jean Carroll is a “profile in courage.” BREAKING: E Jean Carroll publicly humiliates Donald Trump by revealing that his disgusting body odor and bizarre behavior "mesmerized" the jury during the trial that resulted in her $83 million defamation win. These details are hilarious as they are gross... “I don’t understand how people can be afraid of a fat, elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds, and sits in a courtroom and moans and groans and complains and snorts,” Caroll told The Daily Beast podcast. “They were mesmerized. You have never seen anything like it,” she said of the jury. “He never sat still, and he talked the entire time within earshot of the jury. He belittled Alina Habba, his own attorney. He would spit as he was talking. He didn’t smell so good.” She recounted how her attorney Roberta "Robbie" Kaplan really got under Trump's skin... "He stood up with steam coming off his back and hot air blowing out his ears because Robbie Kaplan was giving the final argument, and she was asking the jury how much it would take to make him stop," said Carroll. “She drove him so crazy, he stood up in the courtroom and left,” she explained. "When a man is innocent, he doesn’t storm out of a courtroom; he stays and fights. He turned tail and stormed out of the courtroom. He lost right at that second. He couldn’t have looked more guilty." Caroll credibly accused Trump of raping her and he was ultimately found civilly liable for sexually assaulting her. She was awarded $5 million but then Trump continued defaming her in public and denying her story, eventually resulting in her massive $83.3 million victory. “When the jury heard the evidence, it wasn’t very hard,” Kaplan told the Daily Beast. “The clerk opens it up, reads it, frowns, shakes his head, folds it back up, and then hands it to Judge Kaplan,” said Caroll. “And Judge Kaplan opens it up, and his eyebrows rise up towards his hairline, and he frowns, and he says, ‘Madame forewoman, what does the M stand for?’” The forewoman explained that "m" stood for "million. “That was a moment,” said Carroll. “I left my body. As I say, I felt like Peter Pan who flies around the ceilings. And quite frankly, I’ve never come down from that. That win was so enormous and so powerful, not for me, not for Robbie, but for everybody in the country who had sort of lost hope that he could ever be beaten.” “We’re still feeling the good victory of that. It’s happened. And we’ve proved—Robbie proved, and I proved—that Trump can be beaten,” Carroll continued. “He can be beaten.” E. Jean Caroll is right. Trump shouldn't be feared. He can be defeated. All it takes is the courage to fight back. Please like and share!

Copied from a Facebook post. Brilliant @andyburnham FUCKING HELL ANDY, YOU ABSOLUTE VISIONARY!! People are struggling to afford petrol, families are watching every penny, and filling your car up now requires a small mortgage and a letter of permission from your bank manager. But fear not, ladies and gentlemen, because Andy Burnham has come riding over the horizon like a financially responsible Batman. His master plan?! GOOGLE FUCKING MAPS !! That’s right. Not cheaper fuel. Not a reduction in fuel duty. Not anything that actually makes the bastard stuff more affordable. No. He’s proudly announcing that we can now look at a little map and see WHICH petrol station is going to financially bum us the gentlest. GROUNDBREAKING STUFF THIS !! And the best bit? Google Maps has been showing fuel prices in various places for YEARS. So he’s effectively stood up, puffed his chest out and announced the invention of something that’s already bloody existed. What’s next, Andy?! A revolutionary new device that tells us when it’s raining? A calculator to help us discover we’re fucking skint? Perhaps a mirror so we can watch ourselves ageing while waiting for politicians to do something useful? I don’t need a map to tell me petrol is expensive, Andy. I’ve got a fucking bank account! At this rate, next week’s big announcement will be that he’s discovered you can save money on your electricity bill by TURNING THE FUCKING LIGHTS OFF. Honestly, we’ve got people running this country who’d turn up to a house fire, hand you a thermometer and congratulate themselves for helping you understand the temperature. ABSOLUTE FUCKING GENIUS!! Fuck my life !

🚨 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LUCY POWELL CAUGHT TAKING THOUSANDS FROM THE UAE GOVERNMENT! Just in case you missed the latest Gulf money scandal taking over Downing Street, let me expose the latest politician caught in the web. Education Secretary Lucy Powell pocketed 3,500 pounds in luxury hospitality paid directly by the United Arab Emirates government. She also happily accepted free tickets on five separate occasions from Manchester City, the exact same football club Burnham protects from financial cheating charges. Labour elites are raking in luxury foreign freebies while forcing brutal tax hikes onto working class families. Retweet this immediately to expose the corrupt influence ring operating right inside the Burnham cabinet. 🇬🇧🔥
