The Starmer achieved nothing brigade are out and about today, I make absolutely no apology for posting these again. This isn't just disrespectful to Starmer but to all the Labour MP's who made this happen in just 2 years, ignoring these achievements is a kick in the face to everyone involved.

This would be a mistake by Burnham, this law has been in place and working since 1985. To not recognise the significance alcohol plays at matches is foolish.

So, now we know that the polls,showing Starmer was deeply unpopular with the voters,were carried out on behalf of Reform UK Ltd to produce the 'right ' results. The fact that the PLP fell for it shows just how stupid they are. We tried to warn them that they were being played but they didn't listen

I'm surprised so many Labour party members aren't absolutely appalled at the ousting of Starmer, the first time in Labour's illustrious history a sitting PM has been ousted. He wasn't given a chance, no PM could fix 14 years of Tory underfunding in 2 years.

This is such bullshit. Starmer was brought down in part by this guy's 'principled' resignation. Now he's in charge of the money, his principles change. 🤨

As every day passes and problems are raised, we see how much forward planning was carried out by Starmer. Not flashy, no gimmicks, no campaign buses, just hard graft and implementation. Let’s hope the Labour backstabbers don’t waste the work

Whilst Andy Burnham has found the time to opine on such vital issues as 'vertical drinking', and whether a bread roll should be called a ‘barm’, he has not found the time to comment on some of the worst racist violence on Britain's streets in the postwar period www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/illegitima...

I see Burnham is crowing about the 100 new mental health centres opening this autumn. Obviously not mentioning it's all down to the Keir Starmer administrator. Wtf is he going to do when there is nothing left to steal the credit for?

Starmer started mending UK and making changes necessary for the long term; as he said putting country before party. All that good work, all that effort, all that political capital, could be wasted if Burnham doesn’t get a grip and stops just trying to be popular.

No surprises there. It was on their behalf I've been most angry about Brexit. The whole thing is awful, obviously, for so many other reasons too. But for those too young to vote in the referendum - the freedom of movement, the freedom to live and love anywhere in the EU, was stolen away from them.

Being in the U.K. some of the U.S. political systems were new to me but that didn't matter; the values represented in The West Wing, in the production, the scripts, the acting and the messages they delivered, made this my all-time favourite. Martin Sheen: perfect casting. Nothing has surpassed it.

A few weeks ago John Healey resigned from Starmer's cabinet because he was unhappy with defence spending. He's now Chancellor in Burnham's cabinet, begs the question why his first policy announcement hasn't been to increase defence spending. Maybe his resignation wasn't about spending, who knew.

The Guardian, touting the recent drop in inflation as a lift for Burnham, even though he had nothing to do with it. Credit is due to PM Starmer, but does he get a mention?. No, of course not. The headline should be, 'UK inflation falls to 2.6% thanks to the Govt. of Prime Minister Keir Starmer'.

The appointment of Powell to Education, replacing Bridget Phillipson, confirms competent ministers are being replaced to accommodate and reward the plotters who helped Burnham remove a democratically elected PM. This one is particularly hard to swallow.

One assumes he's had some chats with Burnham's team and didn't like what he heard. Spending changes perhaps? He took on a thankless task and has been subject to endless criticism, and it's quite noticeable that only upon his departure is the press giving him any credit for what's been achieved.

The dignity, the integrity and the class, that Keir Starmer oozes, even at the end, makes Burnham look like the opportunistic little chancer that he is. He will be found out very soon. I look at all those Lab MP's applauding the PM today and I realise 95% of them are absolute fools. What a waste...

I'm finding the feting of Burnham quite distasteful, he's not the PM, spare a thought for Starmer. Starmer put in the hard shift without Burnham's help, he made the party electable, he took the flak for not undoing 14 years of Toy misrule in under 2 years, he deserves respect, he's still the PM.
