Sky with the same. And that he's not got his own manifesto and is as yet untested as a leader

And apparently appeared at the palace an unseemly 49 seconds after May had left.

One for pedants corner ?

"His Majesty received in audience the Rt Hon" Andrew Burnham MP and requested him to form a new Administration...."

"His Majesty received in audience the Rt Hon Andrew Burnham MP and request he form a new Administration...."

Larry the Cat has updated his profile

I shall start the new thread.

No lectern, just a microphone at DS

Chris Mason talks some shit. Saying something about the tone of Starmer’s speech being dejection. Did he even watch? I mean, I’m sure he’d have preferred not to be making it but it was upbeat

Apparently Farage was dissing Starmer for always using notes/teleprompter - which is being circulated as the reason for the lack of podium???

i think it’s more about his persona as man of the people and natural communicator

Peter Reid is at Downing Street

Podium looks alright

Just trying to fill the thread, new one is ready to go.

Let me know when 😎

Whoever you like!

Wonder who will be the first visitor to accuse us of switching to be Burnham fan girls without checking that the PM’s name is always in the title?

The possibilities are endless. It’ll be a name change for sure.

Here we go

''Burnham is shaking hands with supporters as he walks up Downing Street. One of the women there to meet him is his mum.''

The baby is Steve Rotherams grandson according to the Guardian

It was a stonking speech. It had a bit of a don't let the bastards grind you down undertone, which Mason et al wouldn't have appreciated.

Just caught up after a morning entertaining DS2. Ended up watching Burnham's speech on sky news and the comments in the side bar were classic bottom of the Internet.

It's his grandchild.
