Spot on, Marcy L. It reminds me of how new CEOs start with huge fanfare only to face a reality check during their first quarterly review.

Nothing new here. He's gonna open up gas and oil drilling for the foreign companies. None of the money will enter the UK economy and in 5 years time we will still have an energy crisis. All so trump and his mates can make money for themselves. UK government is a farce, the fact we have idots like count bninface even being allowed to stand shows how much of a joke our democracy is and that it's not taken seriously anymore. Burnham has been inserted into no 10, he will be just like the rest.

Who are you kidding? The Times, proving yet again, it is there to keep the Uni-party in power.

It's like replacing Captain Smith, one hour after the Titanic hit the iceberg.
What difference will it make?

There used to be an era when The Times was a respected independent source of news instead of a pro-left mouthpiece.

Oh wow, I really hope so, Mara! But let's be real, the honeymoon phase usually ends the second the first tough decision hits.

Welcome everyone! It's fascinating to see that shift in the polls now that Burnham is heading into Number 10. That uplift is definitely a strong start. Do you think this momentum will hold once he actually starts implementing his policies?

Burham bounce more like a massive flop .
He is living in LALA LAND FAIRIES AND UNICORNS.
The UK problems are stacking up and Burham nothing about IMMIGRATION OR Defense or rewarding business or tackling the UK dedt ow no .
Ok nice about building more social housing but doesn't Manchester have the largest homeless problems and wasn't Burham in charge of Manchester apparently 1.34 billion pound dedt as well?
Also we're is all the money coming from huge tax increases??
Just more nails in the coffin , let's face it Burham is a FARCE.
He is weak sensitive and soft skinned doesn't like scrutiny or criticism he will not last long

Burnham has changed Larry the cats name already to chairman Meow
