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.

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?

Has Johnny Marr got a beard? Asking for a friend.
So was Queer Keir faithful to his wife, what about the Ukrainian rent boys? Allegedly

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

Cat's lick ?

This is a jokey thread, but in case you are serious, my advice is don't believe homophobic conspiracy theories, even if GBN or Guido Fawkes spew them out☺️.

I'm prepared to give him a chance OP.

IF he can restore all public services to pre -austerity levels with a 3 week period (without spending any more money);
Raise defense spending to at least 12% of GDP without increasing taxes;
And boost economic growth while cutting immigration and not getting any closer to Europe then MAYBE I'll just spend the next 2 years moanig about how Labour are "bankrupting the country" and "destroying our traditional values" before voting Tory at the next GE.

I think thats a reasonable attitude.

Ed. for spelling

I'm sure I saw him wearing a leather jacket!!!!!

ChipswithMayonnaise · 24/06/2026 12:25

Does he pass any of the scone tests? Jam or cream first? Scoan, scon, or scoon?

RedToothBrush · 24/06/2026 12:28

Andy Burnham once spoke to my Mum. She thought he was 'alright for a politician'.

This should be immediate jail time.

Is he a 100% Faithful or a Traitor?

A few years ago I was required to attend an awards bash. The guest of honour was Andy Street - Midlands mayor at the time.

One of the people at my table mentioned he was gay, to which the other 9 (including myself, and I follow politics) went "Oh, I didn't know".

And life went on.

It was one of those moments where you suddenly miss someone who has passed. In my case my DM who frequently stated that she really couldn't understand why the press were obsessed with male homosexuality. Because in the midst of the 3 day week and bombings, it seemed an odd thing to think important.

He's got "a pair of eyelashes and a black t-shirt." said his fellow 100% faithful Kemi Badenoch.

Your DM was very wise!

Ok gotcha

PowerTulle · 24/06/2026 12:52

NRTFT but can anyone advise on his shoes? Because the slightly odd tight-fitting-quarter-zip sports top penchant doesn’t give me confidence re the footwear. Hoping to be reassured on this.

Boris Johnson’s hair was far worse…

SevenYellowHammers · 24/06/2026 13:15

The Daily Mail (don’t ask, I didn’t buy it) pictured him in sandals and said he had a messiah complex. So yes, get that podium out now!

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

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

Mmm..If he was into Northern soul he'd be aritey.

Scone as in it's gone without the it in it's. Very apt!

And it's not complicated.

But he's like Lord of the North, or God of the North isn't he? The Second Coming? I expect divine right will win out.

This is of no comfort to Game of Thrones fans.

Personally, I'm all for him because he has nice eyelashes.

His wife seems so cool!
Let them in!

But does she have a beard?
