Despite all the adulation around Burnham & his speech, my view on him & the fawning, back stabbers around him, hasn't changed at all. Its still Andy, me, me, me Burnham & the "We love you Andy" brigade... All I hear are words & long off promises, which when they prove unpopular, he'll flip flop on.

Well, all I can take from the few snippets I've seen of the Cabinet members at the Labour conference is that I now dislike just about every single one of them. To me, all I see are snivellers, chancers, liars, incompetents & ego's. Yet, this is the lot I prefer to be in power. Hope? Nope...

Of course, there is nothing more important going on in the country... and the world, than allowing drunken yobs to dominate football matches again. This PM is a bloody joke. Surely someone in Labour, somewhere, has a coup up their sleeve?

So BBC Lunchtime news and other media, put this pathetic story about a little racist village, ahead of the story of missing 3 year old, toddler Noah Woods? Then we hear that Burnham will actually take a look at the "referendum" they conducted... What have we become?

I've lived near the coast all my life & thankfully never needed the support of the RNLI, but I've known many who have. When members of this wonderful charity have to worry about their security & safety it disgusts me. What sort of country has racists, idiots & thugs that do this? Shame on the UK.

The exposing by C4 of the Reform donation fiddles & the false polls used to show their popularity & the lack of popularity for Starmer, means we must ask why the media & Lab MPs didn't question this. So many of us could see it. UK politics is in the lowest place I have know in my long life.

Badenoch is not a good opposition leader, or person and not the best communicator, or debater. A gift to Labour. Starmer kept her in check easily. She’ll make Burnham look exactly what he is though. Second rate and full of shite.

Dear @andyburnham.bsky.social, This is God messaging you. Don't bother to verify, it really is. Now then, do we think you're up for the job of being the UK PM & keeping all those lovely people safe? I think not Andy. So be a good boy & give the keys to No 10 back to that very capable Mr Starmer.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

So as the UK melts, Europe burns and the world escalates its wars (all increasing the cost of living), our PM can be found in a pub near you, or in a queue at Greggs. Manchesterism to the rescue...

The more I see of Burnham, the more impressed I am with how Starmer carried being the PM. A class act that Burnham can never follow. Sure he made mistakes, but so will Burnham. Burnhams perceived popularity will fade as he is found out, more and more...

Burnham at Dover, talking a lot as usual, but actually saying nothing. Every time he gets in to difficulty, he tells us what he supposedly heard on the doorsteps at Makerfield... He's not only not up to the job, he's really boring too.

I'd just like to congratulate Andy Burnham on his great policy announcements this past week and also again thank him for the resounding General Election landslide he led Labour to, just two years ago. How could Labour possibly manage without him?

So next time we get a PM from say, Scotland, or Wales, are they going to set up a No. 10 in their home country? For after this pathetic nonsense from Burnham, why shouldn't they? Or perhaps a No. 10 in Plymouth, Southampton, Newcastle, Norwich, Leicester etc. Burnham really is a first class tw@t.

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Burnham wants us to trust him & "his" Government. After the last weeks & months of backstabbing, when you look at his cabinet, do you see one solitary individual that you trust? From Healey to Streeting, Burnham to Powell, Rayner to Mahmood... all I see are conniving, self serving, disloyal egos.

The cooing from Burnham’s groupies is nauseating! They are trying to give the impression that Burnham replaced a Tory PM, rather than a Labour PM who put in the graft, took the brickbats from a media briefed by his own Ministers, and laid the foundations on which Burnham could build.

Re cutting the 5% VAT off electricity bills- when you are struggling, even a few quid a month helps. However, of the revenue created by this, I wonder how many of the more wealthy, previously contributing it, will even notice? Help those needing help, but don't throw away revenue from those others.

Nothing against Manchester & nothing against the North. I'm married to a northern girl. However, I'm getting fed up with this talk of taking rule away from Westminster, only to find we are now being "ruled" by Greater Manchester & northerners. The North is not the UK, no more than London is.

So within a day of becoming Lab leader, Burnham has been caught openly lying, saying he had no involvement in the ousting of Keir Starmer... Then his controversial & negative North sea oil policy is announced... I'd say his Premiership is not going very well, since it doesn't begin until Monday...

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Burnham has fooled the fools, but there are so many of us, not fooled at all. We've seen his like in Government before. Indeed we have seen him before. When it all goes up in flames, don't expect us not to say so. Just like with Brexit, Corbyn and Johnson, we shall say, "We told you so... "

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Well, I shouldn't, but I can't wait for the slimy, sickly, ego that is Burnham, to become PM now. I want to see him brought down to earth with a bang & all those idiotic MP's applauding him & fawning over him get called out for what they have done. For me, the sooner he fails (he will), the better.

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

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...

Dear Andy Burnham, Just think, someone, somewhere in the Labour Party and beyond, at this very moment, is plotting your downfall. For that is the precedent you have now created. You have aped the Tories with their constant changing of PM's. Your turn will come and probably not so long to wait...

I really don't think the Lab MPs & Ministers who badly let down Starmer & us, with their self serving, disloyal antics, realise what they have done to their own credibility & careers. Streeting, Rayner, Powell, Phillips, Miliband & many more. My respect and trust for all of you, has gone forever.

When I listen to that crap from Burnham today, is there really not just 81 Lab MP's that can't get behind just one candidate to stand against him? Clearly he needs to be challenged. If not, is there just one that can convince Keir Starmer to rethink & stand? This is Johnson, or Truss, yet again...

I've been listening to Andy Burnham on & off for 2 decades + & he certainly lives up to his reputation as a flip flopper. I'm no fan, but he has done ok at times. The more I see of him nowadays though, the more he reminds me of Boris bloody Johnson. That continuous smirk, the falseness of it all...

Dear Keir Starmer, You won't see this, but please know that as the dust settles, decent people, don't think you failed. Sure, you made mistakes, but you turned Labour around & then brought respect back to the UK. You needed more time to continue, but too many MPs let you down. They failed, not you.

I hoped Lab MPs were different. Not out for themselves like the Tories of those 14 years. Not even like Cleggy, Davey & the other LibDems who sold their soles to the devil, for a tiny taste of power. But no, most, not all, are childish, self serving, disloyal idiots. The merry-go-round goes on...

Great to see Darren Jones & David Lammy stick with the PM, out front, right to the end. So many others didn't. I'd love to know exactly who let him down. An utter waste of a great PM. Going forward I'd love to see Darren Jones stand in a leadership contest. He would destroy Burnham in any debate.

Dear Labour MPs, whatever happens now, you are a bunch of disloyal, ungrateful, self-serving shites. What you are doing to those that voted for you is disgusting. What you are doing to Keir Starmer and his family is utterly shameful. Hang your head in shame if you haven’t stuck by him this weekend.

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

I've no idea if this is true or not, but it ought to be. A Lab source says Starmer feels "betrayed" "He gave everything to Lab, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"

Steve Emm @steveemm.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Sadly, I hope I'm wrong, but for the first time, I see the end for Starmer. Not because he doesn't have the fight in him, but because I fear his closest allies, colleagues and friends will betray him one by one. So many of them have Judas amongst their middle names. I see them gradually flipping.

As the Labour party prepares to eat itself from the inside, outwards, I can honestly say that I think they are no better than the Tories. I do however support Keir Starmer & all the Ministers, MP's & members who are loyal to him. I want this Govt to continue & to do well. Labour itself can do one.

After PM announces the under 16 social media ban, BBC News interviews various people... all negative about Starmer & the ban. Whatever the pros & cons of the ban, this is not balanced, or even unbiased reporting. Not one supporter of the ban was interviewed. They really have a thing about Starmer.

I'm all for huge defence spending increases, even if it means borrowing. I also think Starmer is a good PM, but how can Tories, Reform (stuffed full of ex Tories), or even Ed "Coalition" Davey, say more should be spent on defence after their part in decimating the UK military over those 14 years?
