Burnham the new PM

[blup]

Could always have a general election, to give Burnham a democratic mandate.

He’d got it from re form supporting Makkerfield.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

They voted Burnam in and - crucially - kept Re form out. There’s a good chance it will be repeated at the Mayor of Manchester election, we’ll see

Absolutely no chance. It was an anti-Starmer vote, not pro-Burnham or pro-Labour. It was not a resurgence of any kind for the dying wreck of the Labour party.

The country's desperate. Any change at all is being seized upon, in the hope that the next idiot will be slightly less terrible than the last.

So are you now claiming that the north in general resembles Pakistan, Lassie?

Have you got any credible information to support your claim?

Oh silly me, of course you haven't. I keep asking for credible information from you and all you can do is to resort to abusive comments.
Remember, if you're abusive to me I will reciprocate.

As a Britishophobic, and an extremist Islamist, you blinker out what is the real truth. You don't want to see it.

Spliny setting up the excuse when/if Manchester elects a Labour replacement for Birman in a few weeks time. The reality is there are more than enough voters to return the re form candidate, time will tell. I suspect enough people are fed up of Trumpf and won’t vote in sufficient numbers for his mini me party to be returned in Manc. Especially as Andy is now a credible alternative.

You've spent far too long in US-centric leftie indoctrination echo chambers.

The vast proportion of UK citizens don't care in the slightest about Trump, good or bad. He's not our president, and Farage is not one and the same, indeed the two have had significant differences on a number of major issues.

Burnham's utterly clueless, he's a lifelong career politician who has never worked in the real world and changes his opinions like the wind. Almost nobody but you thinks he's going to change anything significant, he's just a bump on the way down for Labour. The problem isn't whether the bloke at the top can smile nicely, it's that Labour and its entire model is fundamentally flawed and the people have seen through the bull.

There were some interesting stats a couple of years ago based on sewage volumes. Sounds silly and weird, but sewage is something that remains reasonably constant per person regardless of wealth and whether you're trying to stay below the radar.

The figures suggested that the official population numbers for UK cities may be well below the reality of the amount of poop being created.

We don't have borders.

 

[Murdochcat]

How did they do that? He wasn't on the ballot paper.

Simple. Left voted for Burnham in the knowledge that Starmer would fall on his sword - which he did

 

[morqthana]

Some questions blatantly violate the rules of the forum, such as where do you live, posts proof of where you live, and other such personal information, etc.
And they know they're breaking the rules, but that's worth it for them, and they persist, if they can obtain some personal information that they can weaponise when they're debating skills have been reduced to lies.

Don't forget they also know that they will face no sanctions for breaking the rules.

You do have a window in your room, I assume.

Your right wing bias is well known, so I very much doubt if anyone will put any faith in your political analysis.

Is that what piqued your interest.

Reciprocate all you like boyo...everyone knows what you are. You are a true Britishophobic...you ain't British.

Looks like the truth is getting to you boyo...

It's your disgusting abuse that is fouling up the forum.

Do you annoy the neighbours with your barking?

The confidence oozed out of your posts before that by election- when you realised the support was draining away from Re form. Burnam is a big threat to your team. A win in the Manc mayors elections (2 million electorate) and he’ll pull away even more. All while Farrage struggles to explain the failure to disclose his crypto bung (Piers Morons words). Could be an ideal time for a snap election

Let’s see how he does in the Manc mayoral election. Shifting the tax burden more onto the South in order to benefit the North is a savvy move, one that Farrage can ill afford to support without upsetting his billionaire string pullers. Smart cookie that Burnam. Calling him clueless is just dumb.
