Voters elect a party & MPs, not a Prime Minister. The party holds the mandate.
The second Downing Street gets a new resident mid-term, opponents scream "No mandate!"
Theory vs. practice strikes again. #UKPolitics
Burnham has a complete mandate as in the UK we do not have a Presidential system so you vote for the Party not the PM - maybe you spend too much time in the US.
As for no mandate - you are a self appointed Leader of a Party where the membership have never elected a Leader who rejected the 5 year mandate voters gave him ro hide from scrutiny and delay investigation

EXCL: Keir Starmer has become first UK PM to be presented with Légion d’honneur by French president, in recognition of his work on security of Europe.
Emmanuel Macron awarded the historic honour to Starmer for his l'ship in setting up coalition of the willing at a critical moment for the continent in early 2025.
Only other British PM to receive a similar award – at a higher level, the Grand-Croix of the Légion d’honneur – was Winston Churchill in 1958 in recognition of his leadership during the second world war.

Funny how some #MPs seem to know good news is coming and rush to announce it first, hoping everyone thinks they made it happen. Representing constituents is one thing. Taking credit for decisions already made is another. #Accountability#Transparency#Ukpolitics#integrity
Cost of living is still a huge concern for many people. Are your everyday expenses still going up month to month, or have things finally started to level off where you live?
