Only a guess, but perhaps somebody wants to win an election involving British voters.

The question is at what point is our “I love to be liked” amiable Mr Manchester going to enter the telephone box and emerge to make some hard decisions and tell the country some hard truths……?

That’s easy.

Never.

It’s funny to read places I know being posted about on here.

You've been to Burnham Towers?

Farnham.

I've just had a meal with friends at the Giggling Squid in Farnham.

It was very quiet.
Nothing to complain to the police about.

I used to call that place the Wanking Prawn...

Continuity Starmer. What is the bloody point.

To make sure Farage becomes Prime Minister? The way the Labour Party is behaving (particularly, but my no means exclusively the PLP), one has to wonder if they are actually all Reform 5 columnists!

He's easily the worst PM that never was a PM. Poor old Corbyn - he thought he had that nailed.

Burnham needs to win Makerfield. There's hardly any votes to be won there by saying he'd scrap the triple lock, but quite a few could potentially be lost.
I'd treat this pronouncement with a pinch of salt.

In a GE not one tory wanker on here would vote for Burnham if he did scrap the TL. It's a catastrophically bad net electoral negative for everybody but the Greens so they aren't going to promise to do it or actually do it,

If a new government did it in year 1, it's fairly likely that no one would bring it back.

Not sure that will survive through to the election.

The Mail on Sunday is girding its loins for the fight to keep it, natch.

Is there Anything to Anyone Burnham hasn’t Promised Yet?

Isn’t that how we got in this mess!

Peter.

No candidate has got to the Core of my issues - the right to own significant quantities of fissile material.

No, wait, a parcel has just arrived. Signed Andy Burnham. Return address is Aldermaston.

Quality vague posting.

Gay Hill Golf Club? Or is that just @Taz and @Mexicanbastard

Just thee and me I suspect.
