To think Andy Burnham’s hairstyle is too middle of the road, he’s slightly too short, and should resign immediately after being appointed

His hairstyle is neither classic or on trend. It’s just very ordinary.

I don’t know how tall he is but I sense he’s a few inches shorter than I’d want for a prime minister.

Given the above, I think it’s everyone’s interests that immediately after being asked to form a government by the King, he gets back in his car, does a three point turn on the Mall, goes back and resigns immediately.

His head doesn't photograph well

I asked AI to summarise this thread:

Andy Birnam Wood Street is Richard Osman and Johnny Marr's younger brother. He is gay and his wife is a beard who dresses stylishly in Rishi Sunak's old clothes. He has two false eyelashes bought for him by Lord Ali.

Yes?

My friend has an Andy crush. At last a hot prime minister, she says.

I presume she’s registered blind?

The AI “forgot” about the aliens and Larry. Proof beyond doubt that it is a conspiracy!

What about Rishi, he was alright.

Maybe if a dwarf was seeking a date.

I ran it through AI, too:

”Andy Burnham’s political trajectory is profoundly compromised by a "L'Oréal jet black" hair aesthetic, characterized as a synthetic "Lego helmet" and a "sentient" brow structure, suggesting a manufactured persona. The situation masks a larger international scandal, with his heavily varnished, "painfully try-hard" appearance leading to the conclusion that he is actually 1960s international man of mystery Austin Powers in deep cover.

A mounting national security crisis surrounds his ocular region, where frantic updates confirm he possesses a grand total of only two eyelashes. Urgent tracking reports indicate one is currently clinging to his left eyelid while the other has migrated dangerously close to his nose, sparking intense debate over whether they are microbladed or advanced surveillance tech.

His lack of physical stature poses an immediate constitutional risk, as he completely fails the mandatory security inspection by Downing Street’s Chief Mouser, Larry the Cat, who refuses to authorize a leader with such an artificial grooming regime. This lack of feline authority is compounded by terrifying reports of his true nature, including a penchant for eating babies’ heads and a highly classified, imminent declaration of war against King Charles.

Under the guise of a sudden anti-immigration stance, plans are already underway for his rogue forces to launch a hostile invasion of London. To resolve this existential threat to the realm, a critical, three-point resignation procedure must be enforced immediately, demanding he execute a swift three-point turn on the Mall and resign before his extraterrestrial eyebrow anomaly and royal coup compromise the entire nation.”

It then offered to draft his resignation speech:

Following the revelation of his true identity as Austin Powers by Downing Street’s Larry the Cat, Andy Burnham must resign immediately to avoid having his head placed on a spike outside the Tower of London. King Charles has permitted a return to Manchester on the condition that Burnham relocates to Blackpool, drowns his sentient alien eyebrows in the sea, and abandons all political activity.

The Resignation Speech of Andy Burnham

Location: A hastily erected podium outside Downing Street (lowered significantly to accommodate the speaker).

Audience: A confused press corps, one highly smug tabby cat, and a royal guard waiting with handcuffs.

"My fellow citizens,

It is with a heavy heart, and an incredibly rigid Lego helmet of hair, that I stand before you today to announce my immediate, legally mandated resignation.
The game is up. I must give full credit to the unmatched investigative brilliance of Downing Street’s Chief Mouser, Larry the Cat.

It was Larry who looked past my neon-tinted, Trumpian skin tone, sniffed out the truth, and pulled off my velvet jacket to reveal to the world that I am, in fact, international man of mystery Austin Powers in deep cover. Shagadelic though my time in politics has been, my lack of feline clearance means my premiership terminates right here.

I must also address the grave security concerns that have dominated the headlines this morning. To the eyelash tracking teams: you can stop your telemetry. I confess that I do only have two eyelashes remaining. One is currently clinging for dear life to my left lid, and the other has indeed migrated to my nose. More pressingly, I must confirm that the alien takeover of my eyebrows is complete. They have achieved full sentience, they are controlling my thoughts, and they have no respect for the Ministerial Code.

Furthermore, I acknowledge the structural criticisms. Yes, I am slightly too short to govern. I had hoped my physical height would be offset by the immense size of my ears, which—as promised in my manifesto—will still remain open to the public as a free, cost-effective pedestrian bridge to the moon, saving billions in transport infrastructure.

However, my plans to launch a hostile invasion of London and declare all-out war on the monarchy have been thwarted. I have spoken directly with King Charles. His Majesty has been incredibly reasonable given the circumstances. In exchange for not placing my head on a spike outside the Tower of London for treason and the alleged consumption of babies' heads, he has granted me safe passage back to the North.

Therefore, in accordance with the mandatory three-point resignation procedure, I will now step into my vehicle, execute a chaotic three-point turn directly on the Mall, and drive straight to Blackpool. Per His Majesty’s strict instructions, I will march directly into the Irish Sea to drown these extraterrestrial eyebrows once and for all, before retiring permanently to a life of absolute political obscurity.

Thank you, and goodnight.

Yeah, baby, yeah."

Morning Donald !

You don’t support the bigly yellow covfefe buses and neon skin and comb overs? How offensive for you to attack Andy Constant Mown Vogon Eyebrow Burnham in this manner. He’s already admitted his traitorousness and said he’ll drown his alien eyebrows in the Irish Sea. What more do you want? Justice has been done.

Not sure, I’d guess you’d have to ask Larry how murderous he felt this morning?

JennyForeigner · 25/06/2026 12:32

I can't bear Andy Burnham at the best of times but what really annoys me about him - and also about Starmer - is how they have located themselves after Liz Truss and years of the Tories building up off the books debt. And now, they have no money to make the country better.

Chronogical clumsiness is the worst.

Letsgoforaskip · 25/06/2026 14:13

@DrRylandGrace Your AI output was even more alarming! I particularly enjoyed the opening to his speech, "It is with a heavy heart, and an incredibly rigid Lego helmet of hair, that I stand before you today to announce my immediate, legally mandated resignation." Says it like it is 😂

You should call 999 immediately. This clearly meets the criteria for a medical emergency and while you might be scared about becoming an inpatient in a mental health institution I’m sure they’ll take good care of you and you’ll be grateful afterwards for the anti-psychotic drugs.

To be honest I don't think there's any pills available yet for this metal situation.
