GENERAL ELECTION
God help us! Andy Burnham, MP for 2 seconds then Prime Minister. No debate, dont know what he stands for. He just runs with the hares and hunts with the hounds. Perfect self preservation. This is democracy at it's best.😢
We would all prefer a snap general election so we can decide, not passing the buck to the next party member in line without votes.
New face same crap party
Another lame duck PM???….same old song..
Does Andy B. has a plan?
Come in number 7 your times up !
We need a GE, we have not voted for Burnham.
God don't they just love the sound of their own voices. This video could have been 2 minutes long.
Nothing changes same party, same bourgeois nonsense. Burnham’s record also reflects a continuation of devolution within neoliberal constraints.
Barnum to take over from 2Tier? Like we need more of this shite.
Al Carns should stand for PM, The Labour party as much as I detest them need someone with a backbone and I believe Al is the man for the job.
Comedy hour
We need General Election
So we pay over 300 Labour mps around 85k + expenses and not ONE has any clue to lead???
No thanks, do a general election and let the British people decide what's best. In my opinion it should be Rupert Lowe because millions must go. #VoteRestore
🎉🎉😂
As for Burnham compared to starmer as PM, its like sh¡tting your pants but changing t-shirt.
snakes heads and setups maybe we could truths into a democracy again and actually vote for a pm we want the pm not the party!

Burnham is no better. Just a bigger ego. He has no mandate. We need a General Election.
Burnham was a two tier mayor. He improved transport but the streets are full of homeless drug addicts.
Andy love to eat burger Starmer love to eat curry
Ummm, yeah…, no thanks. One bad decision after another. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Andy white-wash the grooming gang stuff and call it 'propaganda'? Yeah, pass. Election please.
Israeli occupation forces have shot and killed two young Palestinian men near the illegal settlement of Karmei Tzur in the southern part of the West Bank amid the forces' ongoing assaults in the occupied territory.
Security and local sources identified the deceased individuals as 15-year-old Reda Sami Hassan Awad and Issa Arafat Ismail Awad,19, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
They both hailed from the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of al-Khalil.
Reports indicate that Israeli troops left the Palestinian teenagers bleeding before taking away their bodies. They did not allow Palestinian Red Crescent teams to reach them.
So UK politics is in shambles but after we get a new PM it will apparently have only sunk to a new low. Oh yeah, UK is doing great, sure.
What have you all done to England?! Just handed the keys over. Stop voting for more of the same. Fix it
I’m excited to see who’ll be next to continue his legacy of making the wrong policies.
Changing a white shirt for a black shirt
