Please don't ever record outside downing street again! The second half was unlistenable 🙉 Outdoor podcast audio is poor, even without protesters - but that was a mess!
You don't have to be outside number ten to deliver the news!

I had an idea years ago that i think would help Andy Burnham. I think every hotel with over 12 rooms should always keep 1 room free for any homeless person. In return the government will give them tax incentives or an eat out to help out style incentive. The homeless person cannot stay in the same hotel for more than two nights in the same week, to avoid them becoming too reliant and dependent on one facility.

We didn’t vote for this clone we don’t want labour. We want Restore Britain we want our boarders secured

This constant change of party leaders about every two and half years from both two main political parties is becoming so predictable and tedious, I am now totally fed up with the whole lot of them, thank God it's now the summer recess!!!
@
In 2 years out of no 10
@
WTF is that protestor actually saying...? They're not convincing anyone by being annoying.
@
The trouble is the majority of the country don’t want yet another non elected prime minister

He should have taken on the labour leadership and taking this country into a general election

If he’s good enough to win the general election and get a mandate from the masses by the majority of the country then he can run the country, but basically he’s become prime minister on the back of 24947 people that’s all. 4:03

I feel like 'we will be worked to the bone' with this Lord of the North. I feel scared already 😂😂😂😂

All you ever hear about is Starmer, Burnham, Mandelson, Epstein! Labour are self obsessed!
@
'Wide boy" Burnham is PM. "Show me the money" Haig is in charge of the bank vault at the Duchy of Lancaster. Next week, school dinner lady Elsie Smithers from Bolton will become Head of the Commonwealth. It's a brave new world and social mobility gone mad!

Your speech outside No. 10 was very encouraging, inspiring, hopeful, and ambitious. I hope you follow it through every step of your premiership to achieve it! Hence, wish you and your team all the very best, and GOD be with you for every positive step you take! One thing we all would like to see is that the UK establishes itself once again as one of the global leaders with an independent foreign policy, free from the shackles and influences of the USA, Israel, and their lobby groups, and makes a positive contribution toward solving the Israeli and Palestine’s as well as the Ukraine and Russia's deadly manmade conflicts through only diplomacy and humanitarian aids, not through providing military aids to any side of the conflicts!

The irresistible rise of Andy Burnham 😮
