Topic: Andy Burnham
21. Author: P Date: Fri 26th Jun 2026. 20:48 He won’t see out his term and the cringeworthy revolving door of PM will spin at least one more time before a general election Reply
22. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 26th Jun 2026. 21:16 Jimmy riddell, Fri 26 Jun 20:13 The Northern Messiah has about six months to show he has learnt from Starmer’s unwillingness or inability to address the main issues facing the country: defence, immigration, social welfare and growing the economy. If he doesn’t he’ll be toast just like his predecessor. I think the highest priority is likely to be agreeing with the lefty Labour MPs and the unions, unfortunately. I suspect even deciding who will be Chancellor will cause problems very quickly. The unions want Miliband, business certainly does not, and I suspect the bond markets (who we definitely are not in hock to) won`t want to go near him either. It`ll be a mess. Reply

24. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Fri 26th Jun 2026. 23:21 Thought I read that the Unions didn`t want Milliband as chancellor? Reply
25. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 27th Jun 2026. 06:47 Must admit, I`d be very surprised if he makes a difference tbh. A lot of people in England seem to think you can have Scandinavian-standard public services with US-level taxation and Westminster refuses to make businesses pay their fair share as the Nordic states do, with employer contributions. I`d never really resent paying tax in Scotland but I`d honestly never work in England again as you get zero value for your taxes. I`d be fuming if I was an English taxpayer. Reply
26. Author: Wotsit Date: Fri 3rd Jul 2026. 13:36 Starmer seems to have stabbed Burnham back with the announcement of a significant increase in defence spending which has a multi billion hole in the funding. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply

No doubt billions of contracts heading to Israeli owned arms manufacturers Reply
