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.

Is that why he’s wearing Jesus sandals? We are meant to welcome him as the messiah?

Snowflakes that fall on my nose and EYELASHES ❤️

Who doesn't love this heart warming song from the syrupy Sound of Music. The hills will be alive.

For all our sakes we should stop this nonsense.

Should have gone to specsavers.

As should he, judging from the state of his glasses.

Yuk. Maybe some nematodes would help us to get rid of him.

He only has two eyelashes? Regardless of the reports of them being long/ him making the effort to use mascara on them, that makes him a weirdo in my book.

I’m sure Lord Alli will sort him out, sharpish.

Agreed. Red Boris needs to make more effort to achieve the same level of dishevelledness to truly reflect his disdain and contempt for the majority of UK citizens that Blue Boris displayed so spectacularly with his hairstyle.

Poor show. Unbecoming of an alleged “king”. One wonders whether Charles will simply have him sent to the Tower for the audacity of attending Buckingham Palace while making a challenge to the throne.

This grimace is so disturbing that I’m likely to have nightmares tonight.

Are his eyebrows actually stuck on with glue as well as the eyelashes?

I need to make sure my children don’t see the news on TV, they could be traumatised.

He has a dog, called Axel.

The thing that I found most irritating about Kier Starmer, and Angela Rayner come to that was the whinging/whining tone to their voices, so I already like Mr Burnham better! No opinion on hairstyles, does he dye it though? Suspiciously dark for a fella his age.

Neil Kinnock was endlessly criticised for his dress sense as I think was Michael Foot!
Andy’s hair always looks weird to me, and I’m not into football so have no time for people wearing football kit if they are not actually on the pitch.

You didn't ask the question, nor did you answer it. What is wrong with you!

Life must be incredibly difficult for you now.

Utmost support. And if Burnham is EVER MP l, he really must give support to those people who are genuinely affected by those who wear football t-shirts. And, let's face it, it's mostly men who do it.

Nobody knows.

Perhaps I’d be an ideal candidate for PM?

Ah, Michael Foot’s famous donkey jacket

Could you spare me a few coins of the bit sort. 10,000?

I believe primary age already know. Newsround

It's a satirical thread.

Sorry, I maxed out my investment on Space X so have nothing to spare right now.

Fear not, though! Saint Andy is about to transform the economy so I’m sure GDP per capita will rise exponentially by Christmas and you’ll be able to buy yourself as many bitcoins as your heart desires.

Finally, an explanation in the enormous rise in anxiety and mental health issues in under 16s.

I am sure the Telegraph are checking as we speak as to whether he got them in a deal on Specsavers - which will be both a Good Thing and Bad Thing.

Indeed. Taking up a two for one deal would be tantamount to tax evasion, as would buying any glasses at all because it’s clearly immoral not to give 100% of your pay cheque to HM Treasury. If “Andy” purchased his own glasses, he is an arch hypocrite. Doesn’t he know that there are people living in poverty?

Criss sake! I'm not even going to search if he's the same height as Adolf.

You made me google (because for some reason I thought he was gay) and I found this, which faintly amused me for a couple of minutes!

Thank you. I appreciate someone willing to speak the hard truths
