Andy Burnham is the David Brent of British politics. He's desperate to be liked, which does make a change from the grim managerialism of Keir Starmer, who seemed content to be loathed.

But behind the cheesy Gallagherisms and forced bonhomie lurks the spectre of authoritarian socialism. He's appointed two Hope Not Hate directors to senior positions in his team. This Labour administration will have a vicious Stasi smearing and attacking political dissidents - anyone on the right, basically.

Also, when Andy and his wife were still boyfriend and girlfriend, she asked his permission to go on Cilla Black's Blind Date TV show, and he said yes. I find that very strange. And I remember that episode!

$Burnham is DOOMED - hes the Boris of the left Get tickets for my standup: https://leokearse.com Catch my livestreams on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/leokearse Andy Burnham is doomed to fail. Not just because “multiculturalism” - the fracturing of society - has left Britain ungovernable. After sinking their fangs into Keir, Labour backbenchers are like a Bengal tiger with a taste for human flesh (“mmm, is that garam masala?”). Theyll want to hear the screams of another victim soon. And Burnham isnt the Messiah. He genuinely is just a naughty boy (or worse, depending on what we find out about grooming gangs in Oldham). Hes got no vision, no mandate, no deep Westminster experience, and he wont be able to keep his party happy. Keir gave Labour MPs everything they wanted. Renters rights, workers rights, higher taxes. He made sure Britain had the best looked-after illegal migrants in the world. He stuck to his pledge of housing every Sudanese jihadi in a four-star hotel no more than three minutes walk from a primary school. He even went cold on Israel. And he caved to their every demand - scrapping much needed welfare reform to appease them. He even got them their jobs (and theyre not the sort of people used to such high salaries). But they still tore him down. Burnham will be an even bigger disappointment as theyve pinned so many lefty dreams on him - rejoining Europe, scrapping immigration control, even higher welfare. Hes about to find out that he wont be able to deliver on any of them. Partly because of the bond markets - but mostly because even Keir, the Borg king, the master of procedure, was unable to wrestle Britains sclerotic bureaucracy to do what he wanted. Cheeky chappy Andy has got zero chance of mastering it. Giving a thumbs up and saying “eeh, stone roses on me walkman, proper avin it with me Everton season ticket laaaa” might make him seem relatable to the average mouth breather, but The Blob will be unmoved. Andy is the Boris Johnson of the left, and as Boris Johnson showed, people who make good mayors dont do well when they have to cope with the punishing intricacies of actually trying to get things done in government. So I wish Andy a very pleasant eleven months in government, but Ive already put money on his demise.
