Two contrasting headlines

Farage condemns Burnham as 'another professional politician'

Replacing Starmer with Burnham would convert 18-point Reform UK lead into 2-point Labour lead, poll suggests

That’s fecking rich coming from him the professional grifting charlatan.

Who remembers OJ Simpson ?

It was my first thought

SerendipityJane · 22/06/2026 18:13

I see some ribbing in TRIH reddit that Burnham is Catholic ? (Although Google says "not very").

Surprised that hasn't found it's way into some of the more batshit threads.

It means he's a closet Tory.

There was the whole pantomime about Tony Blair being a secret Catholic and how he was plotting to bring down the house of Windsor and bring back whoever is the descendant of James II. A job it seems he only started and never finished.

One of his brothers is Principal of a Catholic 6th Form College. Frothers gonna froth Grin

Traitor in the heart of Westminster Palace type of headlines. Where's Guido Fawkes when you need him?

Don't answer that question.

It means that Etonian Tories were/are closet Communists. Boris Johnson was married in a Catholic ceremony to the lovely Carrie Johnson. Near the Palace of Westminster AND Carrie's dress was second hand.

Is there some code we need to watch out for, akin to 'North London'?

placemats · 22/06/2026 18:39

Previously worn.

‘Strong Liverpudlian Family Roots’?

Ferry cross the Mersey.

Though appreciate that Aintree and Warrington aren't close to the estuary.

Piggywaspushed · 22/06/2026 18:52

We might need to watch out for references to playing with the left foot. But that's a bit less subtly euphemistic than North London references.

TemperanceWest · 22/06/2026 18:54

Apparently Darren Jones may be considering running for leader.

Saucery · 22/06/2026 18:54

They’ll probably make a huge deal about the fact he once said his politics are based on Catholic social teaching.

Johnson was married in Westminster cathedral - but that was a minor detail that no-one bothered about because of ALL the other shit he was constantly up to [3rd marriage/partner almost half his age etc etc] - whereas Burnham who describes himself as a 'cultural catholic' it's a big deal because the barrel is well and truly being scraped in pursuit of perceived flaws/faults

He has quite a lot of Irish family connections too wh always agitates the anti-Irish types on MN
