Let me get this straight...
The first time Burnham tried to become Labour leader the membership rejected him.
The second time Burnham tried to become Labour leader the membership rejected him again.
Now he's being pushed on us without a vote?
Smells dodgy to me...
Nothing screams “establishment” harder than every Westminster party having no issue whatsoever standing at the Makerfield by-election to legitimise the appointment of Andy Burnham and then clubbing together to try & delegitimise Nigel Farage at a by-election in Clacton.
I’ll happily discuss Nigel Farage triggering a by-election.
Right after we’ve discussed Andy Burnham triggering an MP by-election and then a mayoral by-election.
I’m just trying to establish whether taxpayer-funded elections are always a scandal, or only when Nigel Farage is involved.
The hypocrisy is deafening.
Jaw-dropping hubris from Burnham as he describes Farage's resignation as a "gimmick" and says he wants to bring power "back to the people"
Installed as PM via a contrived by election after Labour were crushed in elections they tried to cancel.
Mind boggling arrogance.
The fake outrage at the cost of the Clacton by-election is hilarious…
Andy Burnham abandoning the Greater Manchester Mayor position and causing a by-election… AND triggering a new Mayoral election, will add up to £4-5 million.
Clacton by-election approximately £250k all in.
*Reform have also offered to reimburse the Treasury after the by-election if allowed somehow.
Apparently, Andy Burnham has called the #ClactonElection a "gimmick" - apparently failing to understand that he himself just pulled an identical stunt.....embarrassing
So Nigel Farage has called a by-election to establish his legitimacy.
If Andy Burnham had the balls he would call a general election to establish his.
Sadly he is a political eunuch with fewer balls than Nigel.
So ironic that Labour are calling Farage’s by election a ‘stunt’.
What do they call drafting in Burnham as PM without a mandate?
An undemocratic manoeuvre without the backing of the country.
Far worse in my opinion.

“I’m not going to take £15 billion off BRITISH pensioners while we are spending twice that amount on foreign nations & people who aren’t even British”

For those pensioners who have paid into the system & only receive the State Pension, not Pension Credit will not receive a free TV licence at 75yrs but those on benefits will.
Nothing is fair in this country anymore.

These are the same activists that demand ‘climate justice’ and lecture others about climate change.

But then you “wake up” when you try to “run a business or buy a home”
“And then you realise how crap their ideas are”
Hard to argue, Holly.
