Paraguay!!!! OMG!

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@Guernicacist He wanted to stand in a MP by-election earlier in the year and Starmer refused it. which cause a huge backlash from a lot of Labour MP's / members and a lot of general public in that part of the world. once a 2nd seat came up and he won was literally the KO punch to Starmer.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@Guernicacist From what I know Burnham was massively popular as a Mayor and people have wanted him back as an MP before. But Burnham wasn't really interested. something obviously changed and a sitting MP basically resigned his seat to allow Burnham to stand.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@policylaila No chance, would be political suicide in his own party already. the party has the mandate to govern. rightly or wrongly all he needs to do is become PM and crack on.. In this instance there probably should be a GE though. no one really knows where he stands on anything.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@nightrider20244 Despite what people say and how our politics work in theory. people vote for who they see at the top and a party they align with. whether it's right or wrong. it's becoming more Americanised / popularity contest and left vs right battle.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@nightrider20244 I think the whole law around it needs changing. lower the fixed term before a GE to 3 or 4 years and if the standing PM goes before that time it should trigger a GE. will probably never happen.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@Ewan__Ferguson @Guernicacist Which was the whole issues around getting Burnham a seat ASAP cause the MP's wanted him. earlier in the year Kier blocked him standing didn't he. but probably had so much pressure on him he couldn't stop Burnham a 2nd time..

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@ToonDazza @AndyBurnhamGM Having said that Burnham as been an MP for a matter of days / hours. In this instance maybe there should be a GE as we don't really know what this guy and therefore party really stands for..

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@ToonDazza @AndyBurnhamGM We never ever in the recent history of UK politics have ever voted directly for a PM. we vote for a local candidate to act on our behalf at Westminster. The party chooses a leader then has the mandate if biggest party. I have never ever voted for a PM..

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@BenGrahamUK Please can people realise we never vote for a PM!! Having said that Burnham as been an MP for a matter of days / hours. In this instance maybe there should be a GE as we don't really know what this guy and therefore party really stands for..

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@BritainisCool This is the million dollar question. I genuinely have no effing idea. My trust in politics is almost completely eroded..

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@Guernicacist Burnham will become the next PM unopposed I suspect. no challenge from any other Labour MP. Burnham has been an MP since Thursday.. Previously an MP in different seat from 2001 - 2017. then mayor of Manchester.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@Guernicacist No worries. I ran out of characters in my message. It does go deeper than that, but depends on which side of the fence you sit right / left. I tried summarizing it. Ultimately he / it became untenable in his own party and Burnham a more popular choice with Labour MP's.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@EdFrosty500 @MartinSLewis We never vote for a PM

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@emilyhewertson Should there be. yes, probably. Will there be.. No would be political suicide for him in his own party.

[Jamie Wyman @Jammers1306]

@PolliticsUK With Streeting not running I expect we could have a new PM by the end of the week!
