Andy Burnham promises a 10 year plan, but insisted Keir Starmer had to go after 2. You can’t make this up!

As I mourn the departure of our honourable PM I thought it appropriate to share a List of some of his outstanding achievements. In just 2 years. And after the Tories pillaged our Country. PLP what the fuck have you done?

People granted asylum in the UK will be required to pay back around £10,000 towards the cost of their accommodation and support once they start earning. On #BBCBreakfast Sima Kotecha had details of the government announcement bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Andy Burnham's net favourability rating has returned to -11, having briefly ticked up to -4 after the Makerfield by-election victory The 43% of Britons with an unfavourable view of Burnham is the highest level to date (32% are favourable)

Just so you know. When Angry Andy Burnham became Mayor of Manchester, he promised to end rough sleeping. Rough sleeping in Manchester has now actually doubled. Just so you know.

🚨 I've listened to Andy Burnham's 10 year speech, where he looks Britain's new saviour in Zelenski uniform, bragging about what a success Greater Manchester is with my mouth open. You would be forgiven for thinking Greater Manchester was close to perfect, an example to everyone of how his fantastic policies have worked. Does he seriously think most of Greater Manchester is a success? or that he contributed to a shiny business sector, 2 world class football teams and the largest Uni in the country? because outside that... ▪️Nearly 1 in 4 GM neighbourhoods are in the most deprived 10% nationally. ▪️Half of GM’s local authority areas are among England’s 30 most deprived. ▪️Manchester city is ranked 4th most deprived English local authorities. ▪️In 2024, 16.2% of jobs in Greater Manchester workplaces paid below the real Living Wage = 193,000 low-paid jobs. ▪️Temporary accommodation is around 5,915 households, with 8,600 children in temporary accommodation. ▪️Around 12,700 long-term empty homes were identified across the city-region. ▪️4 of the 10 highest recorded crime local authorities in England are in Greater Manchester ▪️Educational achievements are below national average ▪️Manchester city area above national unemployment levels ▪️1 in 8 working age people get PIP, above the national average ▪️The GM area has a lower household disposable income than the national average ▪️34% increase in rough sleeping ▪️Violent crime and sexual offences are above the national average. ▪️grooming gangs? or is we still ignoring these? ▪️Drug-related death rates in Greater Manchester are significantly above the national average Oh and now lets talk about debt. Bravo Andy... to achieve some of the highest deprivation in the country under his leadership, GMCA now has about £1.4 BILLION of gross debt and an underlying borrowing need of roughly £2.5 BILLION. So his speech on "Hopes and dreams" is actually more like 'No hope and nightmares', his leafy suburbs and shiny city buildings can't really hide the truth. You're welcome.

Today, with a heavy heart, I have taken the painful decision to end my membership of @UKLabour and cancel my Direct Debit. I joined and supported Labour because I believed in fairness, democracy, loyalty, and collective purpose. But what I have witnessed since Labour's historic 2024 landslide victory has left me deeply saddened and angry. Keir Starmer inherited a broken and unelectable Labour Party. Through sheer determination, resilience, discipline, and relentless hard work, he rebuilt it from the ground up. He endured years of abuse, attacks, and criticism to transform Labour into a credible government-in-waiting. It was Keir Starmer who made Labour electable again. It was Keir Starmer who secured a landslide victory. It was Keir Starmer who won a democratic mandate for change from the British people. Yet instead of gratitude, loyalty, and support, he has faced constant undermining, briefing, plotting, and leadership speculation from people within his own party and trade union. In my view, @AndyBurnhamGM has become the symbol of that betrayal. He was not on the ballot paper in 2024. He is not an MP. He is not a member of the Government. Yet since Labour's victory, there has been a relentless effort to position himself as an alternative leader while others fuel leadership fantasies and internal division. I find it shameful that a democratically elected Prime Minister who delivered Labour's greatest victory in a generation has been subjected to such disloyalty from within his own party. The people who rebuilt nothing now seek to inherit what they did not build. What hurts most is seeing a Prime Minister who gave everything to return Labour to power being repaid with constant sniping, ambition, and political manoeuvring. It feels like a profound betrayal of the members, voters, and activists who worked so hard to secure that victory. Those who believe leadership can be won through plotting, briefing, and undermining a democratically elected Prime Minister should remember a simple truth, leadership built on division rarely succeeds. Political conspiracies may create headlines, but they seldom create lasting leaders. Time and again, plotters discover that ambition without loyalty ultimately collapses under its own weight. In my view, Andy Burnham's approach risks taking Labour in the wrong direction, dragging Labour into more endless internal conflict and factionalism. A movement consumed by personal ambition and leadership manoeuvring does not rise, it sinks. I can no longer support a party that, in my view, is turning its back on the very principles of democracy and loyalty that it claims to uphold. History will remember Keir Starmer as the leader who rescued Labour from defeat, rebuilt the Party, won a landslide election, and returned Labour to government with a mandate for change. Those who spent their time undermining him will be remembered for something very different and for sinking the Labour Party. Thank you, Keir Starmer, for your leadership, your dignity, your resilience, and your service. You have my deepest respect, my gratitude, and my unwavering admiration. #ThankYouKeir #TeamStarmer #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #LabourGovernment #MandateForChange

A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people. A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office. A truly sad day for British democracy. His full resignation speech:

I wonder how many ppl know all this, given the media blackout on all things positive about Labour under Starmer?

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer. Feel free to share.

So let me get this straight: - Inflation lower than predicted - unemployment falling - small boat crossings falling - NHS Waiting lists falling - Interest rates stable - Asylum hotel use falling - net migration down 82% - school attendance up And Keir’s doing a really bad job?

@PolitlcsUK King of the North... unless you live here, just more of same for Makerfield. We see you @AndyBurnhamGM, or maybe not as the case may be!

This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories. But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.

Labour is restoring order and control. Net migration is down 82%. Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives. 12,000 fewer people are in asylum hotels since last year. 60,000 people with no right to be here have been removed.

Who do you want to be prime minister of the UK by the end of 2026?🤔 Repost after voting please.

A Must watch. Good to see our Gov sharing so much good news directly with the public. Cutting the media out is the best part of their new campaigns. 👏👏👏👏 #DoingTheMediasJob

🚨 Good news the outrage merchants hope you miss: Sky News just reported asylum seekers in UK hotels are at a record low of 20,885 , down 35% year-on-year. Yet @Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk are nowhere to be seen. Of course they’re silent. Good news doesn’t farm the anger and anxiety they thrive on. Their business model needs you furious, not informed 😂 Progress is happening. Don’t let the professional rage farmers hide it.

Busy couple of days for Starmer’s Gov. the media is too busy making up the news to bring you this news. Knife crime down, record completions for new Homes, business investment and overhauling youth justice. #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

Reform will not achieve anything for working families!

I don’t even need to share this… Cos obviously it will be all over our news 🙄
