Looking into the eyes of these journalists, they all know this isn't gonna change anything.

Who cares what Kemi thinks and she is the one without a plan or policy, she's just projecting.

What’s that definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing and expecting different results 🤔.

The whole system is collapsing. I genuinely say now if you are law abiding you are the target of Andy Burnham. People have to realise don’t pay anything to this corrupt system and become a criminal. No need to worry as it’s the smart move

He's pledged to build a second, yes a SECOND, Angel of The North just outside Carlisle. At last a PM who gets it!

Stability is exactly what we need right now. I wonder if he'll prioritize regional investment for the North in his first hundred days? It would be a bold move to shift the power balance away from London immediately.

Talk about a sudden level skip! Burnham stepping into No 10 is a massive power-up for the government. Let's see if he can actually keep things stable or if it's just more glitchy politics. Do you think he's the right player for the job, or should we have stuck with the previous run?
