🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: its been revealed that Andy Burnham snapped up an ex council flat in Kennington for just £215,000 in 2005 while serving as an MP.
He then happily billed taxpayers for the mortgage interest payments because the rules let him get away with it.
That same flat is now worth 480000 to 500000 pounds and he rents it out while insisting the income barely covers his costs and he makes no profit.
Yet this is the same man demanding rent freezes council housing takeovers and lower rents for ordinary people.
Pure hypocrisy from a classic Westminster grifter feathering his own nest on the back of the system he loves to lecture everyone else about.

🚑❤️ Wombourne Parish Council has installed emergency bleed control kits alongside all public defibrillators across the village.
Led by Councillor Martin Perry, this initiative helps provide vital equipment that could save lives in a critical emergency before paramedics arrive.
Reporting waste crime is important.
A public report meant we could act quickly to stop more dumping at an illegal waste site in Yorkshire.
Report waste crime to our 24 hour incident hotline: 0800 80 70 60 or 100% anonymously to @CrimestoppersUK
