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

[ChallengerTank]

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.

He does look like he’s been Tangoed

We couldn't possibly have a bearded PM without putting it to the electorate - how undemocratic!

We haven’t had a properly bearded Prime Minister since the Marquess of Salisbury, and since he left office in 1902 the UK’s story is one of steady decline. Coincidence? I think not.

Agreed - that trend is only because Corbyn didn't get in.

VOTE BEARD.

His wife seems so cool!
Let them in!

I have a beard. Just saying! 🤷‍♀️

Ethan Hunt Mission Impossible and Andy Burnham. Need I say more?

We can't decide until we know his position on The Happy Mondays.

And I am disappointed in the MN hive mind for studiously avoiding references to New Order. Or indeed Blue Monday.

I once asked a man in the Arndale multi storey car park if this was the way down to the shopping centre. When he turned round I thought for a nano second it was Andy Burnham, but no it was indeed Johnny Marr. He was very helpful and said yes it was.

Johnny Marr for PM.

Haha

Clive Lewis has been one of his earliest backers.

He'll almost certainly be the first to cry betrayal of Labour values, accompanied by Nadia Whittome.

Anyhoo. Bringing Blairite mucker Work and Pensions Secretary turned lobbyist James Purnell back as his chief of staff

Personally think he’s beautiful to look at. His eyes literally glitter. It’ll be a nice relief to have a handsome PM.

How about Sir David Beckham as PM then?

The sparkle has gone from David's eye. No amount of pretend farming can bring it back.

His eyes are really weird. Small and slitty but he’s had some sort of surgery on them so now they look even stranger.

I saw an interview with him last week. He went five minutes without bitching about another politician or party. A whole five minutes.

He can't be allowed to become PM.

The absolute bastard.

I have been studying his hair. I am starting to suspect a comb-over.

He looks metrosexual. Please ditch the hair dye and mascara Andy.

At least Sir Keir (dearly almost departed) had embraced his grey hair.

I’m personally not a fan of short leaders (nothing wrong with them) either. Could he be stretched? We still have the racks in the Tower of London I’m sure. If not they can be dusted off from storage/taken from display cases, and be oiled ready for use. And, he looks like he might enjoy it (BDSM like) too. This is sarcasm by the way. Quite enjoying this though! No, I don’t fancy Burnham, heaven forbid.

Comb over and cows lick at front?!

He's 5'10". That isn't short.

Cow's lick? What sort of witchery is this?

Disgraceful.

I hear he is faithful to his wife. Almost as bad as Starmer in that respect. Does he not understand how male PMs are meant to behave?

Really? Probably secret gay then. It's the only reason for someone not being involved in endless scandals/sexual harassment claims.
We need a red blooded male like Trump!!! He will make us look weak and foolish to the rest of the world.

Absolutely. Or a serial shagger like Johnson. Even Farage has allegedly managed an affair or two. Oh. I have made myself feel sick now.🤢
