Andy Burnham

[Boomwhatwasthis]

I will always have the utmost respect for him for what he did for us regarding Hillsborough. As someone who was there, aged 11.

He stood up for us when no other bugger wanted to know.

I feel sorry for Mrs B who is getting criticised for her dress and figure. Refreshing to have a normal looking wife and not some clotheshorse or manicured model as a sidekick.

Let's hope he shows the same leadership & courage by making sure there is a full national enquiry, with full judicial powers, into rape gangs.

This is his golden opportunity to shift the dial in this country towards an honest and accountable political class.

Done within the first 100 days would be an achievement.

Leader of the Labour Party as of today, expected to be appointed as the UK Prime Minister on the 20th…
…but only now has he truly made it, with his own Tattle thread. Let’s go!

 

[BigCatFace]

The clothes and the 'style', or perceived lack thereof, are the squirrel to distract from:

- the debt hes leaving Manchester in
- his unanswered to involvement in Mid Staffs
- his possible corruption and definited betrayal of the grooming gangs enquiry
- that No 10 North was a done deal long before Makersfield
- the contract awarded to his wife at £5.4 mill

Hes an ugly pimple on arse that is the British Political Establishment, both cheeks as rancid and shit stained as each other. Not to be trusted, unelected, corrupt, bloated pig...

We all know who the real boss is.

My issue is being a mayor is incredibly different to being the PM. His remit is a million times bigger for a start.
It worries me that he wants to give power to local government but will there be the training and the scrutiny for them and as it’s never been done and how will it be policed as unfortunately big budgets can and do get used for stupid stuff. It all seems a bit woolly and for quick wins rather than a system that’s been fully thought out and planned.

 

[Rubez2812]

He does seem kinda normal well more normal than the others have been, so maybe he'll be good. Though he is a politician so probably full of shit. Is anyone here from Manchester to let us know how he really was as a mayor

 

[Troutpout]

I didn’t realise how weird his mouth is. He’s got no lips. I’m starting to find him a little bit fake the more I see of him. He’s doing the textbook charm offensive mr nice guy which makes me cringe. I don’t trust him. Hope I’m wrong though. I want nothing more than this country to be a lovely place to live again but it’s probably too far gone now.

 

[kev1974]

Fukin' scruff. OK so he's determined not to wear a suit even though he looks half decent in one. But is it too much to ask when he is on the world stage with another "world leader" (even just Zelenskyy) that he smarten up with a decent shirt at least.

Rick wore it better

He is also hoping to end homelessness which is an admirable thing but that needs to go hand in hand with much needed improvement in mental health and addiction provision. Just giving someone a flat won’t solve their problems. I think his attempt in Manchester was good for the first year and it dropped but then is higher now when he started.

 

[neroli]

Yes..just look at the suited and booted Trump and Vance. Makes them so superior in terms of their prowess and philanthropic support. Sartorial elegance is so important in the arms war and Putin is always immaculately turned out.. He's so misunderstood on the world stage and a great guy really...

 

[Jusa]

I think he comes across as being sleazy, I wouldn't trust him further than I could throw him.

 

[Jusa]

He’s apparently invited Donald Trump to visit Manchester

Maybe Trump could do the Corrie tour when he pops over to Manchester

So you're not that keen on him or would it all be just hunky dory if he'd only wear a suit?

I agree and i wonder how it will work for areas without a mayor, because (i may be wrong on this) not every local authority has a mayor, im all for the return of the £2 bus tickets through

Andy Burnham dresses like my mum lol.

Jesus, you know he looks like a slob when he makes Zelenskyy look like the better dressed leader of the two.
