Do we really think that Burnham is going to make the slightest difference?

Have you no thoughts on that?

Given your other posts today I doubt you're here with genuine intentions. But just in case you are - what do you think?

My tax from the M1! Omph!

Was that from the burnt out lorry northbound? I crawled from about j28 at less than 10 mph then got caught in another queue on A14 eastbound due to a nasty looking accident on the westbound carriageway.

Look up National Education Union

Surely you know the informal rules on these threads ?

I was trying (and evidently failing) to introduce some levity with my other posts.

I struggle to see Burnham being able to make a difference from Starmer - that’s my view. You guys might see things differently - and that’s a genuine question.

I'm an NEU member . How may I be of assistance?

I find your hive mind hugely amusing.

We don't have a hive mind, but none of us support Badenoch or ghe current version of the Tories.

We are not like the LiW posse, we don't mind people coming on here for genuine discussion. But it is a bit daft of you to keep posting here if you just want to big up Badenoch. That is what the LiW threads are for as you know, because you post there too. Perhaps go and patronise (in all senses of the word) that thread.

derxa · 24/06/2026 15:40

I did actually condemn that comment if you read the thread more carefully.

Barely, Derxa, barely.

Piggywaspushed · 24/06/2026 16:02

Because derxa won't here you go:

  • 2 per cent of teachers and support staff believe Labour has performed badly on education, while 74 per cent believe Bridget Phillipson is doing a bad job as education secretary. (Deltapoll of NEU members)
  • Two thirds of NEU members polled (67 per cent) said that Labour in office had performed worse than expected. (Deltapoll)
  • 48 per cent of Labour members polled believe that the government has performed worse than expected. (YouGov)
  • In the same poll of Labour members conducted last month, 45 per cent back Andy Burnham as the next leader. 24 per cent continue to back Sir Keir Starmer. Wes Streeting was on 4 per cent and almost no one chose Bridget Phillipson. (YouGov)

It's not 'no one ' is it?

And the almost no one is an answer to a different question .

Looks like us red lefties like Burnham!

It's very boring 😞 in the LiW threads. I get that. I totally understand and have empathy for you @derxa

Is there anything we can do to keep you there?

Is this a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

It's contradiction.

SerendipityJane · 24/06/2026 16:04

placemats · 24/06/2026 15:51

15 minutes?

Let's call it a deal.

For the love of goodness don't mention the B word.

I imagine there's an ointment for that.

See, I find that utterly offensive because it was definitely the other way round.

Well, I didn’t agree with the joke - I just thought it was more subtle and potentially funny than the rest of her attacks.

A large g&t should do it, Jane. Tempting, but a bit early.

Always with the insults

Why is that more of an insult than ‘hive mind’?
