Why Andy Burnham could be the next Prime Minister
Video Overview & Insights
Andy Burnham is back in Westminster and political speculation is exploding. Following Labour's dramatic victory in the Makerfield by-election, the Mayor of Greater Manchester has returned to Parliament as an MP, immediately fuelling rumours of a potential challenge to Sir Keir Starmer's leadership.
Burnham is in favour because Labour and Starmer are so 💩 they are all a disgrace past and present
Could Andy Burnham become the next Labour leader? Is Keir Starmer losing support within his own party? And could this be the start of a major political shake-up that changes the future of UK politics?
In this episode, Harriet Harman reveals what Labour insiders are really saying about Burnham's return and whether MPs could turn against Starmer. Beth Rigby joins Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson to analyse one of the most significant by-election results in recent British political history, breaking down what it means for Labour, the Conservatives, Reform UK, and the next General Election.
Starmer to Burnham.... is like shitting your pants and then changing your shirt.
Plus, Ruth Davidson brings the latest political news from Scotland following the Aberdeen South and Arbroath & Broughty Ferry by-elections. Are the Scottish Conservatives making a comeback? What do these results mean for the SNP, Labour, and the future of Scottish politics?
Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss:
Definitely dysfunction, & myopic back stabbing in the Labour party. While Andy won this by-election, the question is, HOW SUITABLE IS HE AS PM? i BET with the Iran war & middle east tensions, Ukraine vs Russia, Andy will be CLUELESS how to tackle these war issues, and aftermath of these wars. He would not know how to deal with mercurial war monger Trump & his vice puppet & Israel war monger on these war issues. Starmer has had this experience and for him to walk away because of these greedy baggers in the labour party is not right. Andy could try talking/communicating with Stamer and help him stir the ship in the direction he is expecting. Let Starmer finish his office term. I also suggest any new PM should take courses in leadership, health management, war/defence courses to be able to tackle the problems they think they can solve. And Andy should be forewarned about the dangers of greedy ambitions for the PM job and mostly, karma. He should look at what became of Rishi Sunak who also had these greedy ambitions and was later humiliated in the general election

Feeling optimistic? For goodness sake, we are still in the same mess we were before. Highest energy prices anywhere, farmers screwed so they can't be bothered growing food, unempolyment rising, inflation rising, borrowing maxed out, taxes maxed out, no money available for defence or anything else, highest welfare bill ever, illegal immigrants wandering in. I guess optimism is all that is left, but it isn't going to get us out of the mess we are in.

If he wants to win an election he must, stop the boats, deport all illegals and foreign criminals, leave the ABC drill for oil in the North Sea , this will give Britain money to rebuild the military because Putin is watching and waiting

Parliment is a partisan circus

I ,for one, will delight when Starmer is deposed, for then he will have his cumuppence for the vindictive campaign and ousting of many left MPs such as Corbyn , on spurious grounds of antisemitism. He will know something of how they felt ,as longstanding Labour MPs, being rejected from the Party.
@LeonardSugarmanA good discussion.
@jenniesutton9341Should rejoin the EU as stupid as electing Trump in the US
@KevinBaker-p9dAndy Burnham is better than the whole of Labour Party
@ShukurUllahStarmer will need to be dragged out of no. 10.
@chrisbremner8992Andy Burnham Jesus Got his eye on your
@KerrieMorrice-y8ouk.abolishAbolish abortion abolishes abortion .it thank to Jesus's
@KerrieMorrice-y8ouk.abolishAnother slimy politician say anything to get in power. Imagine believing a politician ffs there all full of it
@liverpudlian6205We don’t want our PM chosen by a panicking herd of sheep.
@MBReader410The idea of Burnham swanning into Number 10 completely unproven on the national stage is ridiculous.
@MBReader410A herd consists of mindless 🐏 🐑 🐑
@MBReader410Labour needs a female leader
@brianeastwood7774Yay what a good day to celebrate 😂😂😂🎉
@John-n1y9tالعودة الى الإتحاد الأوروبي بإذن الله باتت قريبة
@ziadbe9970How does Keir Starmer live in such a different reality to the rest of us? His cabinet and 100 of his MPs are calling for his resignation and it’s viable that he’s going to ignore it? if Andy Burnham stands for leadership Starmer is going to fight him for it and try to win rather than suffer a humiliating defeat?
@martin9615-qd2pIf people believe things will change they are deluded !!! Labour should completely go
@RyanAskin-vn5znThis is like the the small intestine battling with the colon to take the place of the Heart, whatever happens the host is dead. Labour has proven that integrity is word with no meaning especially to them and betrayal is their bible.
@Pete-d3w1102 boat arrivals this week.
X £80,000 (the cost to keep them upto decision made)
= £88,160,000.00
The average cost of a small hospital or two specials units.
And the Saturday & Sunday weather will likely double that outcome.
All this talk of will it be or when will it be burnham the problem is he will be even worse ,starmer is the best of them which just goes to show what a woolley minded incompetent rabble they are😊
@keithkennedy411Starmer cannot read anything he is a robot
@lorrainesheridan496GE
@djwoodgateMy bus driver was driving very responsibly today, and I'm sure he can do a better job than Keir.
@varadharajannadarajahIf Wes was prime minister of my garden. I would close the curtains. Solution is obvious. Burnham replaces Starmer and Wes replaces Reeves.
@stuartfoster1Rambling gibberish on the “ motormouth of the north”.
A hopeless substitute for a hopeless incumbent.
Both devoid of intellectual competence and devoid of the courage to really grasp the titanic disaster facing his country.
Infighting will weaken the Labour Party. Starter has done a great job representing Uk oversea & at home. Planned passing of power is a must…
@proskipper1I think the same as Beth, Starmer is better than Andy
@alicialoach5249My 2 cents based on what Harriet said which I agree with, starmer is not really a politician in the sense that he's even clueless about how to galvanise the masses starting with the PLP while Andy is tactically good at that. That's the difference between the two and why Andy's job will be "easier" in uprooting him.
@Rasebolelo777Andy Burnham should accept being chancellor and deputy prime minister
@MathewDoddsAndy Burnham could give Keir Starmer a Peerage in return for Andy Burnham being coronated as Labour leader and Prime Minister.
@safirahmedWho does Andy think he is? To win in a small town is not enough...
@alicialoach5249The real man of the people wears T SHIRTS! No need to roll up them sleeves. Farage's wax jacket looks like a out of touch toffee kosed posh boy.forget pints with nigel it's cans from the corner shop with Andy! 😊
@beepresent8636Anything Starmer touches he ruins, UK needs new leadership now to fix it
@Ashleyv316stonecoldStarmer is crapping himself as the curuption and dodgy dealing he jas had his hands in thinking he would never go the man needs arresting and fully investigated as in my opinion he is in the pockets of china its so plan to see the spys he torpedoed the trial the Chinese embassy labour together the unions pay increase there is to much to list
@TheLebbs2001burnham has done bugger all in manchester except something on bus fares. slightly more difficult running a country. He will get found out very quickly
@nigelmorley5414Aberdeen South was a protest vote, the voters bought into the Tory oil gamble, the very party that put the Levy on oil and gas.
The party that caused the job cuts hoodwinked voters. The Tories have no power on energy.
the SNP have no powers over energy, plus SNP voters did not turn out.
STAMMER SHOULD SAY WILL CALL GENARAL ELECTION. , THAT WOULD PUT ANDY IN HIS PLACE
@RICHARDLEWIS-qs5lnI want the end of labour. How can anyone think that labour is doing a good job.
@radndt69They should tell him if he doesn’t keep promises, he will be out too.
@astraapi8548For the good of the party a coronation is best. Streeting can be deputy pm. Starmer could be fm
@utopia03590Stupidity has no boundaries. Why are people still voting Labour? Burnham reminds me of Brains, from Thunderbirds. He will carry on where Starmer left off.
@RegLancasterProbably the truest words Johnson has ever said, when the herd moves. It moves. And stampeding cape buffalo politicians are literally unstoppable!
