A new name for unnamed source, it's pathetic.

I've never heard of it, thanks for the info, I'll sign the petition now.

Sexist too, my OH does our weekly shop in Waitrose, he's a Labour party member and would never vote Tory.

Definitely, it's party before country which is the default mode of the Tories but I thought better of Labour, this is why I struggle to get past how Burnham plotted to oust Starmer for at least a year. It's a stain on the Labour party IMHO.

They certainly did, they allowed themselves to be led by the nose by a media who hated Starmer from the day he became party leader. Instead of supporting Starmer the PLP joined in.

And the free breakfast clubs and additional free childcare hours, I've seen it reported they're worth up to £10k a year to some families.

I think Burnham made a big mistake getting rid of Rachel Reeves, she's well respected and didn't deserve to be pushed out. It was petty and totally unnecessary, it's another reason I'm not a fan of Burnham.

No she didn't, he wiped the floor with her every week, I watched and listened every week, can we stop airbushing Starmer's achievements away please. Oh and Starmer never had a folder, not that it matters, they're both way more accomplished than she is.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 23h

As it was with Starmer, the Guardian was one of the worst offenders with the never ended unnamed source articles, all aimed at destabilising the Government.

010

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 23h

That's probably about right, everything he's proposing which isn't a re-announcement of an existing policy is for the next manifesto. He nedds a couple of years to consolidate so October 2028 or early 2029 sounds his best option. Lib Dems please get your act together before then.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

He'd be a bloody fool to call an early GE, there's 3 years before there has to be a GE. As we've seen in just the last few weeks an awful lot can and will happen before 2029.

Reading some of the accusations against him reminded me of my early days at work, it was fairly standard behaviour by some men, unwanted touching, lewd comments and rarely challenged by the other men. I do hope it's not happening now but I'm doubtful.

010

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

Oh my, how far he's fallen, he was great on LBC for a while rhen he went totally batshit.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

Burnham is the PM, like Starmer before him he has to be circumspect about what he says, its very easy to say the popular thing when you're in opposition and your words have no consequences.

000

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

I remember Starmer saying to her she's relying on a pre prepared answer despite it being proved to be incorrect, she can't think on her feet and just ploughs on regardless.

010

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

Tbf Starmer wiped the floor with her week in and week out too, neither Burnham or Starmer before him resort to lies and both are very well prepared.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

She's really rubbish at PMQ's, Starmer wiped the floor with her week in and week out and Burnham is too, mainly because neither of them need to make stuff up and are well prepared.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

It's absolutely pathetic isn't it, how the hell is it news that the Manchester Mayor met the owners of one of the 2 biggest clubs in the area. Does anyone fall for this guff, oh hang on, let's ask Starmer.

But shock horror when Andy Burnham was Mayor of Manchester he had lunch at Manchester City.

Reform UK has now lost 173 councillors: 60 resigned, 47 went Independent, 30 defected, 24 were kicked out, 5 lost their seats, 5 are suspended and 2 were disqualified. Alan Feeney and Chris Whelan take Birmingham to three departures, all of them crossing to the Independents.

This is typical of our 2nd rate media, it's the hostility Starmer faced every day, field and curry gate for example.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

He got a caution, I think because the young woman didn't want to make a complaint. Farage of course did make a complaint when he had a milk shake chucked at him.

Apparently, as was buying your Mum a field so she could see he beloved donkeys or sitting in the Director's box so your fellow season ticket holders wouldn't be displaced, the media never overlooks a mole hill when it's a Labour PM.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026

I just don't get it, the print media is owned by billionaires who hate Labour, TV broadcasters used the front pages to set the agenda for the next days news and the cycle continues every day, the vicious circle of hell. That's my only explanation apart from their harted of him when he was DPP.

Me neither, as DPP he gave the go ahead to prosecute journalists caught out in Operation Elveden so maybe just revenge. The media had it in for Starmer from the day he became party leader, remember all the nonsense about a donkey field. The continued Starmer bashing will rub off on Burnham maybe?

He also took action against Russian interference, didn't specifically mention Brexit but this policy document is worth a read.

Thanks for finding this, Starmer said plenty about Brexit and Farage but it was ignored by the media.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

Starmer voiced his opinion on Brexit many times, he said this in December 2025, not having a dig at you or Burnham but it's really not fair to suggest Starmer didn't voice his opinions about Brexit.

That happens in the UK too, it's a nice touch.

It's dreadful, how can the Greens allow this to happen, Polanski needs to step up now before it's too late.

I've just been blocked by someone I thought I was having a friendly conversation with about what Burnham is saying about Brexit, oh well.

120

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

Nothing at all, people are kidding themselves if they think he's saying anything else. Like just about everything he's said since he became PM he's talking about after the next GE.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

It's not what he was saying when he was campaigning in Makerfield.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

I keep saying this, he wasn't awarded the Legion d'honneur for fun, it's a huge honour. All I ask is people acknowledge what he's done and stop littering every post about anything Burnham says with more Starmer bashing, he lives rent free in some folks heads.

031

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

I'm not sure Burnham's approach of telling Brexiters how wrong they were is a good idea, though tbf what's being reported isn't what he's actually saying. All he's saying is let's discuss all options which includes staying out. Let's hope the media reporting isn't giving false hope.

020

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

He wasn't quieter he just has a different style, this is what he said in December 2025 and it wasn't the first time he'd called it out. He took office after 14 years in opposition, he had plenty else to get on with but still spent time repairing our relationship with the EU27.

I try not to use rejoin because it sounds like we can go back to how it was. Too many people don't realise as a non member state we go back to the beginning, there's no alumni status, we won't get special treatment. It's a long, tough road, Burnham is raising unrealistic expectations.

120

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

You know this isn't what Andy Burnham actually said, this is what Kinnock hopes will happen.

100

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

Me neither, Starmer's softly, softly approach was working, I'm not aure it's a good idea to keep telling people they're wrong. He was allowing them to come the realisation themselves. I expected him to have something about joining the EU again in the next manifesto.

110

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

Yup and if they're not on side they can literally fool a party into ousting the PM.

191

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

I do worry that people aren't actually listening to what he's saying and are expecting us to join again by Christmas. He saying we should explore all options, which may be staying out. This is the problem with the hope stuff, it's the hope that kills you.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

It irritates me every time I see it, I don't want hope from politicians I want action and competence, if I want hope I'll start going to Mass again.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

Good grief, where has she been since July 2024, the hostility against Starmer was relentless and unfortunately the PLP caved into it rather than fighting on his behalf. Let's hope they don't make the same mistake again.

I wonder if he gets advance notice, he did have a meeting with them last week. You're right he's ramping up his bigotry, with luck he'll just resign and bugger off.
