Lost my other X Twitter account that I had since 2012 - so here we go again! Recent ex Labour member - never again.

The Coup that was planned from over a year ago…
It was planned well, waiting for major policies to pass.
Now Burnham is taking credit for what has already passed in Parliament or is under way.
A Summer of announcements that weren’t Burnham’s at all.

@UKLabour Isn’t that copied from President Biden at the UN?
“Hope” is copied from the Green Party too!

Oh dear - Copycat Burnham strikes again!

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@LabourBerry He also announced the EU deal - the same deal that Sir Keir Starmer announced in parliament a year ago 😂

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

This is the EU deal that Keir Starmer announced a year ago. It is the same deal that Burnham announced in Parliament today.

The same deal will be continued by Burnham.

These MP’s were cheering him that day and the same MP’s were cheering Burnham today for the same deal.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK @andyburnham I wonder if these two read Starmer’s Rycroft report?
Probably not.
This morning a minister said “They attempted to interfere but have not succeeded.”

[Ben Obese-Jecty MP @BenObeseJecty]

Yesterday Andy Burnham made a deliberate and clear statement that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Today Stephen Doughty is pushing the official media line contradicting the Prime Minister that they didn’t.

Burnham is clearly laying the groundwork for rejoining by casting doubt on the result and throwing red meat to his base, but in the interim he now has serious questions to answer on the nature and scope of Russian interference.

@lizmcshane @andyburnham Did you read Starmer’s Rycroft review?

[Graham Lambert 💙 @100glitterstars]

I would say that wouldn't i but I'm sure Burnham won't last 3 yrs
His arrogance on full display at the Yorshire Post, with a third of Starmers skills, criticising a man who knew what it took to be PM, and accusing him of what he is guilty of + loose lipped chats-Observer+Podcast

@100glitterstars Starmer’s Rycroft Review.

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@rqnight @LondonEconomic Even Starmer did. He published the Rycroft review too. He also mentioned interference on his last speech.

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@implausibleblog Starmer did the Rycroft review. He even announced interference on his last speech outside no 10.
Burnham is a lightweight and copies everything including policies from Starmer.

A Labour minister verified this morning that “The attempts were unsuccessful.”

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@LabourBerry @Anniepop2027 His minister clarified this morning.
“they've attempted to BUT they haven't succeeded.”

@guenevere559 @LyndyMountain @andyburnham Are you forgetting Crimea when Putin invaded it in 2014?

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@KemiBadenoch Meanwhile the PM stays silent.
Well said Kemi 👏👏

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@LukeTryl Oh please and busman found the groundwork ready. Hence why he’s repeating Starmer’s policies. Even Devolution is not Burnham’s. It passed parliament in April 2026.
Starmer even froze train fares from going up.
Even Social Care is in the 2024 Manifesto.
Where have you been?

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@LukeTryl Trying what? All he did all Summer was repeat Starmer’s policies that Labour MP’s already announced these past two years.
He’s utterly useless and a copycat.

[Graham Lambert 💙 @100glitterstars]

The secrecy and the lack of an opportunity to ask PM Burnham questions is becoming an issue of increasing concern.
This is all very un-Labour.

@JohnnyTooBad2 @PippaCrerar Starmer did the Rycroft review which came out this year.

https://t.co/TcUFs7to8U

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@PippaCrerar Starmer told us outside No 10 in his last speech. Oh and there was the Rycroft Review that came out before Busman stole the PM title.

@Politocrit1 “The split happened some time ago” so that’s all I need to know.
Anyway who cares!

[GovWatch @UKGovLens]

@JohnRentoul Plus it was very expensive.
