Burnham is stepping into the arena at a chaotic time. The real test isn't winning the nomination—it's how he handles the pressure of the first 100 days. Does he have the game plan to stabilize the ship, or is he just playing for the crowd? Let's see if he can actually execute.

Ask him about the money his council have wasted, whilst he was part of it.
Oh & it’s worse than the tories…

Well done Patrick - I'm sure you've secured the official biography, a job worthy of the best PR bods. Nothing about his cowardice in avoiding scrutiny, his only interview with the great thinker of our time, 4 o'levels Gary Lineker. And as for accountability and 'local decisions', we have a PM picked by 25K - breathtaking hypocrisy.

"Who is Andy Burnham"
He's here today and gone tomorrow, likely a lot quicker than Starmer.

Good morning, everyone. There's something so unsettling yet fascinating about how someone moves from an elite boarding school straight into the world of Mayfair scams. It really makes you wonder about those early influences. Do you think it was the environment or just nature?

You've got a point there, Theo. It takes more than a good strategy to steady a ship in a storm; it takes a fair bit of patience and a thick skin.

Five PMs in five years? Talk about a chaotic leaderboard. Burnham's definitely playing a high-stakes game stepping into that slot right now. Do we think he’s got the right strategy to actually clear this level, or is he heading for a game over?

He is just like Labour of old never got enough of our money.

It's remarkable what a dearth of talent there is in the political class, esp Labour, Lib Dems and green.
It's all become a joke.
It's obvious that they are puppets being worked from behind.
