Is it really so strange?

🚨Andy Burnham says: “The public do not want a general election. They want us to get on with the job.” Sorry @andyburnham the polls say otherwise. Recent YouGov: 48% believe there should be a general election once Starmer’s replacement (Burnham) is confirmed as PM. Only 35% disagree. Opinium (24-26 June): 57% want a GE soon after a new Labour leader takes over. 53% say it would be unacceptable for a new PM to take office without one. If an election were held tomorrow, Reform leads on ~25% while Labour trails in the high teens. Burnham isn’t listening to the public — he’s protecting Labour’s fragile majority. Time for a General Election now.

You have no mandate. Call a general election.

You have no mandate 🤷‍♀️ Your proposals on devolution .. a job creation scheme 🙄 Do you seriously think the Trades Unions representing Civil Servants in government departments in London.. will allow you to abolish thousands of their jobs … just to create the equivalent jobs in the ‘north’ for local people ? Or are you intending to force those based in London to move up north or be sacked if they won’t … So much talk - and so little detail.. Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is a shambles.. along with many other areas ! Levels of government duplicated.. and you won’t even allow the media to question you ! Not a good start is it 🤷‍♀️

I saw you were wearing a t-shirt under your suit jacket and came to the conclusion that you would have nothing interesting to say.

@MatthewTorbitt You are illegitimate , we want a GE … such a coward failing to take questions …

@MatthewTorbitt How the fcuk do you know how it’s gone down, you narcissistic freak?! You won’t engage with the media or do interviews. You’ve assumed a position you have no mandate for. We won’t tolerate you authoritarian prats. GENERAL ELECTION NOW!!

You didn’t take any questions from the media. This is really so strange from a bloke gunning to be PM. You stabbed Starmer in the back, and now you seek to take and hold onto power for 10 years. You a crooked autocrat who’ll refuse to win a mandate.

Are you excited by Pakistani rape gangs?

You could at least have dressed properly for your “big reset”

Devolution you say? 😂✊🏼💦

What is strange is your lack of interest in the rape gangs now. What do you know, Andy? What are you hiding?

Answer questions from the media you weasel dictator!! How dare you talk AT us with zero accountability.

6th form slop.

What about these tax raids you’re planning that will hit the people in the south the hardest to pay for you vanity projects.

It’s divisive. How are people in Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, London - or any other city than Manchester supposed to feel? This chippy northern vibes based politics is going to wear very thin very quickly.

I think this guy says it best:

@MatthewTorbitt Improved living standards… … by 2036 No thanks Zero mandate GE now

You presumptuous tw@t taking the British people for granted ~GENERAL ELECTION NOW

Treasonous cunt

Nothing about you or your plan is exciting. I had hope, it was being delivered and you plotted & succeed in destroying it. Why couldn’t you have worked within Parliament to move things on? I feel more sure than ever that you schemed with your allies to subvert our govt. Traitor

Gobshite

No one is excited for it… & you don’t have a Mandate..

What on earth are you rambling about? None of this was outlined in Labour’s manifesto. Acting without a general election makes you resemble a dictator more than a democratic leader. If you are so sure it's the way forward you'll have no problem putting it to the people.

Coming July 16th

Fucking hell. Are we really going to have a prime minister posting cringey videos like this daily?

It does not make the country excited. It makes the country angry and pissed off. By the way, you are not PM, you have no right to be acting like one. If/when you do become you are going to change politics alright, not in the way you are hoping for. You will be more despised than Starmer.

Nobody’s buying it, Mr No Mandate

RAPE GANGS

What is really strange is not to take any questions from the press. What are you afraid of?

Put it to the people, let them decide!

Same Labour decisions, just a different office they’re made in. It’s just designed to grab headlines and fool the British people into thinking this government is competent. Only a fool would be taken in by this no substance speech of yours.
