What’s wrong in that
People who brought him to power deserve some reward
Have you noticed how radio 1, 2 and 6 are constantly ranting on about Manchester . Wonder why .
Hoping PM Andy Burnham must include in the policy regarding illegal immigrants coming to UK shores through dinghy boats. 😊😊😊
The British and Amers thought they would take Crimea for themselves with the help of Ukrainians, whom they used as meat on the battlefield, hacked their brains by bribing the Ukrainian elites and the media, and they began to artificially cultivate hatred towards Russians. And British/Amers started this new Crimean War in 2013 as a result of a Military coup Armed rebellion in Ukraine
The US is fueling a major war in Eurasia by bribing Western politicians and elites who have sunk to the depths of unnatural perversion and they will flee to the US at the start of a major war.
Keep in mind, this £2 bus fare is for a single journey within the same county, e.g, Greater Manchester or Merseyside. It doesn’t apply to cross-border journeys.
Ma opinion
Nice shirt AF
What's his plans for stopping the illegal immigrants and the ones who are already here?
My god. Uk has lost with these BBC commentators
Burnham is simply Starmer 2.0
Wish I has the £2 bus pass when I was working,it cost me the best part of £50 per week 10 years ago!
Nice 👌
Af u forgot ur ring
Replacing Starmer with Burnham is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt!!!!
Initially I thought it would be great if VAT was removed from energy charges, it might mean that I can leave the central heating on a little bit longer in winter. However the vast majority of people have gas central heating, only the digital display is electric. 😞
Why can't @BBCnews learn how to spell Keir?
Ur dream af was af ponder dreamer
£2 bus fare is too late for some people in Nottingham as Nottingham city transport did cut back on buses so most people have to take multiple buses especially where i live where theses no direct route to one area now has to be 2 buses now
Yes.

What about andys wife being rewarded with contracts already
The 840 Coast liner Leeds to Whitby route was voted Britain's most scenic.
The route—operated by Transdev—takes passengers from the historic streets of York and Leeds, through Malton and Pickering, and climbs spectacularly over the heather-clad North York Moors before descending into the coastal town of Whitby. A key highlight of the journey is passing through Goathland, the village famous for starring in the ITV series Heartbeat.
Gaz Yorkshire.
250,000.
King Charles and Kier Starmer is cheating the people of Christ. No issue if you both go to hell. There are so many Youngesters who wants to be with Holy Spirit.
You don’t think that Jesus Christ is keeping mum on you people. Understand or not?
There is no chance to make UK a Muslim Country. Those who are trying to change the belief of the Youngesters would be in trouble in a few years.
NO one in UK will obey the PM and the King. They are temporarily men. Nothing can be done to the Public who believes in Jesus Christ. Romans changed the UK people as per their choice. They never recommend people to read Holy Bible. I warn you about a disaster which cannot be tolerated.
If a wet handshake was a conversation, that’s this lot.
BBC is failing.
I wonder if Andy B is going to do the same as the Democrats in the US. Pay homeless people a couple of bucks to get up and vote Labour in an election as that’s the only votes they will likely get……
Starmer should not come on here
Deck chairs
Titanic
Rupert Lowe for prime minister..we the British people didn’t vote for Andy burnham we need another general election now.
BBC needs to do more on clarification towards news
You Southern Softies dont like a Prime Minister from the North 😅😅😅
At least he's not another TOFF from Eaton 😅 This dude has a better idea of the REAL people 🎉
We hve one of the highes peronal allwances in Europe and one of the lowest tax systems. No wonder the govt is short of cash.
Lifting the income tax allowance to 15,000 a year and restructing capital gains tax. Would help the low paid and have no effect on the national debt.
Everyone is debating whether Burnham is rewarding allies or punishing Starmer loyalists, but that’s the oldest illusion in politics: believing the personalities are the story.
The real question is whether the incentive structure has changed.
Governments inherit debt, financial market constraints, central bank expectations, bureaucracies, lobbying pressure, media narratives and election cycles. Those incentives shape policy far more than campaign slogans. Change the Prime Minister and the faces around the cabinet table; if the incentives remain, the outcomes usually converge.
Notice how every spending announcement is immediately accompanied by “how it’s will be funded” to reassure markets. That’s the real audience. The public gets the political theater; capital gets the policy signal.
People argue over who stabbed whom in the back while the machinery of government quietly continues its primary function: maintaining confidence in the existing financial and institutional architecture.
Politics sells the cast. Incentives write the script.
Burnham exactly the same as starmer
It's taken a bloody long time for the labour party to do the right thing to get rid of Starmer. Now they think,show the public that we will put things right we've always disagreed with Starmer. Yet they all sat back and did nothing to stop him ruining the UK. As long as it didn't affect them and they were still getting their high salaries, while the people suffered. So they'll be looking for the electors to keep them in their soft jobs. The British people have long memories, they won't forget.
Just start by making basic needs cheaper
