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.

You need to get hold of the Communist Manifesto and it will explain all of Andy’s policies to you.

He's a Hobgoblin?

I give it 3 months before the right wing media start gunning for him.

If Burnham and his supporters think he will fare any better at their hands then he's deluded.

He is not Nigel Farage, whom we all know should be PM. So agree. #Burnhamout

No idea if this is sarcasm as it's too hot, but no, we shouldn't have a Nazi sympathiser as PM.

Omg yes!!! If they were a freebie he should definitely resign before he even starts. Labour politicians must not accept freebies. Other parties can.

Although I'd accept it if he formed a coalition government with Binface and Binface supplied the glasses for free from his abdomen/bin. That's the only circumstances this would be ok.

Count Binface is a genius.

Count Binface, I think you will find. Show some respect!

nomas! Of course it is!

But it is what some people truly think.

Just saw footage of when he was younger and he had the most amazing eyelashes. I think he's got a touch of Robbie Williams about him too.

The negative MN threads have already geared up.

3 months........?

3 hours, more like.

LightningTree · 22/06/2026 16:46

An immediate resignation would save him from a lot of unnecessary angst.

True, I was too generous.

Settlersa · 22/06/2026 16:48

He looks like Keir Starmer, similar bit greasy locks, just less grey

The wife is uber cool. She's called Frankie for a start and has (had?) bleached hair and a great dress sense. I will accept him as PM purely on her style.

I remember the fuss made when David Cameron’s wife had a tattoo!

OutOfApricots · 22/06/2026 16:52

One can already sense the eyerolls emanating from Buck House.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 22/06/2026 16:19

He likes The Smiths and The Stone Roses though …. so he’s not all bad.

Liking The Smiths is OK as long as he acknowledges that Morrisey is now a bell-end

Always was, IMO.

Apparently Burnham tweeted excessively in 2022 that there needs to be a general election if the governing party changes its leader during a parliament!

placemats · 22/06/2026 16:57

Does he change his underwear daily? A big fail if he doesn't.

A reminder of how glorious our Prime Ministers used to be. Urbane with sartorial good looks.

Actually the picture of Boris Johnson out running has been censored. Poor dog.

GentleSheep · 22/06/2026 16:57

Larry the Cat will be the best judge of what Burnham should do. In fact, Larry for PM!😻

And left their daughter at the pub - so cool

It was a genuine mistake.

PrincessOfPreschool · 22/06/2026 16:14

I can't comment because I don't know what his wife looks like. That's key info.

Or "who" she wears!

(Does he actually have a wife?)

Pansykavalier · 22/06/2026 17:01

I hear he has a feature wall with crazy wallpaper in his bedroom, but I’m reserving judgement until this is confirmed.

Allseeingallknowing · 22/06/2026 17:02

Kingdomofsleep · 22/06/2026 16:29

I dunno, if it's a looks competition then he probably beats most recent (male) PMs.

Can’t seethe attraction at all.
