That they wait three days?

BURHAM OUT

 

[Sardonicus]

Have the calls for resignation started yet?

 

[Lucille]

Would you let him top you?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

That they wait three days?

Next working day from a new party leader being confirmed, I believe.

 

[Jark]

Would you let him top you?

no but RED ED can do what he likes with me

 

[Agneeta]

Would you let him top you?

Only if he kept his glasses on.

 

[jivafox]

WHY aren’t we all on BENEFITS YET?

 

[Shoat]

There is still potential for EVIL on Monday

For Our Wes would never lie

 

[Lucille]

He needs to fire Wes out of a cannon.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I like that he's already full on trolling The Daily Mail - they will never like him so he may as well torture them.

 

[funky]

Would you let him top you?

With his Everton top on, maybe

 

[Lucille]

BIG ANG IS BACK!

 

[Lucille]

Hope she’s getting a fab bouncy blowout for her return on Monday.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

Certainly she hasn't bothered the people of Ashton during her down time.

 

[big ron]

BIG ANG IS BACK!

Mitzi turbos on the NHS

 

[Penelope]

Useless prick.

Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling

Drilling has become a controversial topic for the Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licences.

www.bbc.co.uk

 

[ZenGiraffe]

If you're going to break some manifesto pledges, why not start with TAX AND SPEND policies!?

 

[Penelope]

DISGUSTING. I very nearly went off her at this point. The 'Andy Burnham' font is VILE, the shiny leggings are horrible and generally it screams Lorraine Kelly crawling round on the floor having a psychotic breakdown

 

[FannyFaudrey]

I find it staggering that anyone could think Burnham is going to be in any way different to Starmer.

Burnham expected to reverse ban on new oil and gas drilling

 

[Penelope]

He'll be different. In some ways good - £39bn for council housing is great, and prioritising a National Care Service would genuinely be a big achievement if he manages to pull it off - and in some ways still wearyingly crap.

Andy Burnham considers radical shake-up to cut energy bills

this sounds pretty positive

 

[ExcitableWoof]

So, what do we suppose the right wing press will go for in terms of rhyming anything with Burnham... U-turnham? Laburnum Burnham because there is some out of control budget line for fresh flowers in 10 Downing Street? Overly long speeches - Num Bum Burnham?

Wow they really went with that idea didn't they.

It's the fact that Beyonce is obviously hating every second that really makes it.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

It's the fact that Beyonce is obviously hating every second that really makes it.

She's sort of weakly smiling to start with but then she definitely seems to have some kind of 'just kill me' regret about her entire life.

[Agneeta]

I normally TUNE IN for the transfer of Prime Ministers, but I'm not sure I have the energy to care.

 

[Jark]

what time do the cabinet picks leak?

 

[Agneeta]

That's normally an early evening thing.

 

[SvalaWuzRobbed]

I'm watching, slow day at work helps, but whereas it used to be a really exciting experience it now happens so frequently I don't feel that. It's more exciting after an election too

 

[octophone]

If Wes Streeting isn't in tears and forming a splinter party by 6pm, I'll be fuming.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I'm giving it till Wednesday morning for everything to apparently be Burnham's fault according to the rightwing press because everything should surely be fixed by then.

 

[VoR]

I've just been reading up on Burnham's wife, the rather fabulously named Marie-France Van Heel.

She's the one on the right.
