“So that is what we will call, moving forward, Burnhamism.” James O'Brien predicts the entirety of Andy Burnham's premiership...

The bloke is so transparent and tribal ….. He forgets we’ve listened to all of his views on the @Conservatives governments …. He’s not a political commentator, just a clown, who hosts a daily three hour echo chamber 🤡 that sells adverts …… and earns more than us ! #OBINGO

The oligarchs who own the UK also own the UK media, and those oligarchs want the Americanization of the UK. And that requires the neutering of the Labour Party and the death of socialism. So yes, the daily attacks from the media will continue unabated.

James he hasn’t done anything that’s going to make any difference to anyone’s lives

And there we have it proof that @mrjamesob is nothing but a Labour supporting stooge. This is the lefty gobshite who lives in his lefty bubble thinking 83p a week saving on your energy bill is great. Or Labour reducing their £3 bus fares down to £2. According to James Labour are brilliant @Reformparty_uk who are actually saving tax payers locally in numerous councils millions, are bad. @LBC proving they are a mouthpiece for Labour again.

James is too stupid to understand that cut makes zero difference to the working class.

Why does he have the nickname “bodybag Burnham”?

Heating bills are killing everyone. We pay far too much. They poke at it, but are not doing enough. It needs properly addressing. The bus fares in my area have been cheap for years, it's one of the only value for money things for people who use them.

Get that left wing one trick pony of LBC , spouting the same boring shite every morning.

Sure pal

James - he’s done nothing you melt. The last 2+ years this govt have been emptying our pockets of cash. It’s like a fruit machine. You go mental over winning the £10 jackpot only to realise you put £100 in.

0% VAT is a bit of a gimmick only because the reduction is insignificant. Love the busses cap I’m just hoping there’s a way forward with doing something similar for trains

“Andy Burnham’s big ambitions come with a big price tag. Our analysis shows a £22bn black hole of unfunded commitments”

If Andy Burnham wants a successful premiership, he should remove any form of housing or financial benefits going to people who are not British citizens and use that money to fund whatever tax cuts he can with that surplus money. It’s really not a difficult concept to grasp.

good lord oBrian looks ropey these days, is he back on the booze? 🥃🤷‍♂️

You mean ‘Burn-erism’, wealth incineration all round.

It's not just right wing. I voted labour, however how they all have acted in their actions of only thinking of themselves, pumped up by the media, then now I wouldn't vote for them. Come on old wessy boi is in charge of defence. 🤣🤣. The one who was prancing around like he was the next PM. Spurred on by a load of journalists some from LBC. It's all a joke. Nothing will change. We are now living in dystopia.

LBC don’t even hide their bias.

Cheers your social hypocrite, things have to be funded unless you’re a socialist as other people will pay for it. Or Put it on the country’s credit card The 1970s all over again.

He hasn't got the money dipshit, they never have

Until they stop the immigration and start deporting people. Politics won’t go anywhere. James will probably be off the air when that happens as he will go into meltdown. The majority have had enough of people like him

Burnhamism in its current form is dodging the question of welfare. He can’t do what he really wants to do without cutting welfare . He can’t do that without raising tax. He can’t do that because he’s no mandate . Burnhamusm without a mandate is therefore a sham - as we see.

It isn't my first rodeo listening to party leaders eulogize about how they will turn things around. Hold on tight; next stop: Shangri-La. Let's hope that by Christmas, it isn't 'Crash and Burnhamism.'

I agree. But it’s not just the right wing media… Most current political commentators have got used to a ‘fast food’ diet of gossip and intrigue. Less able to provide intelligent analysis than in the past. …Not you of course! :)

About 6 months to a year if he is lucky. Viva Tyneside long live the revolution

Janes is literally describing about 5 of his LBC colleagues here

Well he hasn't gone far enough, although I accept its early days. Also read this morning he is rowing back on rents. The media are right to call him out, same way many of us called out Tories when in power. Right now it feels like a sequel, I hope I am proved wrong.

Worry less about the media — take a look 👀 at the Gilts! 😳 #GeneralElectionNow

Spending lots of money that have little effect needs to be called out, yes.

I think James O'Brien hasn’t yet been circumcised, because he’s still a complete prick

To be fair, Decent start, but he has spent £2 billion that's not funded yet! It's a fair question.

We borrow about £15bn A MONTH to pay interest on our national debt

Foreign aid has been increased from 0.2% to 0.7% - billions Yet me - the taxpayer - gets 78p off my energy and a reduced bus fare?

Burnhams boats been coming in today

Starmer saw growth as a priority and had some decent numbers despite global chaos, fear that Britain is now heading towards debt to GDP of around 100 %

He could always fk the press by btinging in long overdue press reform or anounce Levedon 2 and drain the BBC swamp
