@CharlyAB Every man is de Niro when he's shaving. Check it out in the mirror.

@AllisonPearson Unfortunately, I don't think enough will see through him, and with the Right divided, we'll have years more of this Marxist kleptocracy.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@EstherMcVey1 Marxist pickpockets.

@JamesCleverly Tax, BORROW (potentially endlessly) and spend (on high state sector pay and pensions).

@BurnsideWasTosh "The worse, the better", as the old Trotskyist slogan has it. Gotta raise those thicko proles' political consciousness somewhow.

@NadineDorries The millionnaire donors to Labour seem a bit mean, so they would probably welcome a £5m cap.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@NickDixon Very frightening.

@HashtagGriswold I think you'll find that the bit in quotes is also made-up nonsense.

@kelvmackenzie Maybe, just maybe, ordinary Brits are not as thick in the sort of numbers Burnham hopes.

@darrengrimes No! The correct attire for spouting falsehoods and making false promises on a Sunday afternoon is open shirt and chinos. Suit, white shirt and tie is the appropriate dress for spouting falsehoods and making false promises in a more formal setting, such as the House of Commons.

@JChimirie66677 A road to, among other governance monstrosities, mini-caliphates.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@JChimirie66677 It would be very interesting to know how many A levels Burnham got, in what subjects, and what grades. It's in none of his bios, as far as AI can discover.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@benonwine The envy factor.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@AllisonPearson No-one is! (Except perhaps Satan.)

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@WRanald @PetronellaWyatt You are so wrong!

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@johnredwood Checkmate, I think.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@SeanKearney007 Not to mention Brit, which is literally the first four letters of British.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@isaacrrr7 Yes.

[Peter Elstob @PeterElstob2]

@Jenny_1884 Grave robbers.

@afneil Can you also ask him if council (and housing association) tenants will pay any sort of local tax if/when the land tax replaces council tax?
