Does Andy Burnham have the mandate to govern? | Andrew Marr's analysis

If he is so 'clear what he wants to do' Andrew,,, why doesn't he tell the rest of us.... still can't believe that in the space of a month this guy can waltz straight into the top job, with absolutely no scrutiny from anyone

Burnham is already on day 1 starting to help the public and working to make life easier for people. The immediate changes are designed to start helping people now and the big structural changes that will uplift everything is still incoming later.

Burnham maybe clear in what he wants to do but people want to know how. Policy details matter

Bouncy enthusiasm said Tigger. Bouncing is what Tiggers do best. With a fair wind, he might be capable of running the country too.
Time to pray methinks.

Nobody ever ticked a box to elect an individual as PM you for your local MP.

A Sky journalist at the Liz Truss C-Pac event was asked of the thin crowd.."where's the crowd at it's densest" to which the journalist replied "Where ever Nick Ferrari is stood" 😆

if he get’s a bounce he might call an election to get his own manifesto

Why is Ferrari confusing the American voting system with ours? We vote for parties not 'dear leaders'. It's embarrassing at his age.

Out the frying pan into the fire.

Why does LBC not come up in the main news feeds ?

Isn’t this the guy who spouted on about the grownups being back in power? He’s so out of touch with the real world living in his bubble what a Pratt

Decent man he lied about everything, he stood for nothing and believed in nothing.

Have y'all gone from the 'frying pan to the fire' 🤔

Andrew Marr seems to be his biggest fan. He's as partial as anyone I've ever seen.

30 pieces of silver to both of them.

I agree that things need to be made easier for workers but not at the expense at small businesses. Bigger business need to pay higher tax and regulate international transfer pricing to stop moving profits.

Asking that ignorant question AGAIN. The Labour party got voted in, and THEY choose their leader it is how the system is.

you mean like we had elections every time the tories swapped leader? 5 times in 13 years...

No Prime Minister has a mandate in the UK other than that of their constituant MP status. What many people confuse as a PM mandate is not it is the mandate of being the leader of the largest party in Parliament. If that leader changes the mandate of being the leader of the biggest party passes to the replacement leader. We do not have Presidential style elections in the UK and no MP stands on every ballot in every constituency even the eventual PM is only standing for one seat in Parliament.

These people from the shrinking comfortable middle saying “a little bit off your energy bill” etc, are so completely tone deaf. The problems are deep and structural, requiring urgent fundamental reform not patronising BS about “putting a little bit of money in people’s pockets.”
