My Father said many years ago prior to 24 hour news: ‘Why do they keep speculating? Why can’t they wait for it to happen and report on that?’ He wasn’t wrong!

Replacing STARMER with BURNHAM is like being a kid in a children’s hospital in the 1970’s and being told the Jimmy Savile visit has been cancelled, only to hear the sound of a didgeridoo coming down the corridor!

Whilst public are struggling with cost of living others look like celebrating their achievements. People are skipping meals to end meets "bear in mind".

The initial meeting between Burnham (Former successful Manchester Mayor) and Khan of London will be hillarious
@
In out. In our. They shake it all about. Woaaah ohhh the oky koky....😂😂😂
@
I'll admit he's got a better voice than the last one! 😊
@
Hooray, the country can begin to heal now.
@
What very troubling turnover, it is very destabilizing for the UK and Europe. There is tremendous pressure in high public office in this age of tech and unsustainable expectations. Deep soul searching is needed. 🇨🇦😊
@
It was over almost immediately when Labour and Reeves incessantly talked about a black hole and what a problem it was without doing an iota to solve it !. Reeves should bear most of the blame through her incompetence.
@
How long would the new guy last?
@
The motorcade isn't a mile long like the president of the United States lol
@
Does Starmer actually believe his own lies? He should be prosecuted for his disastrous time as prime minister.
@
Burnham will rapidly go the way of Keir Starmer if he doesn't resolve the fundamental problem of the billionaires and giant corporations not paying taxes ! Not a word on this elephant in the N°10 living room. Bye bye Burnham very soon if he doesn't wake up. Or is he also getting paid off ? We will see.
@
ill fill in the calendar this time next year for the out speech..
@
Finally, we know what he was doing for the last month. He was learning his speech to deliver it without notes😂
@
Until they clap again as he reads his resignation speech a few months or years from now, you watch and see, mark my words!
