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.

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.

Richard Osman has gone on record to say his taste in music is cool.

No one cares what taste Richard Osman has in music.

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!

During filming, Frankie could be seen telling Will to ‘try and look attractive’ while posing for a picture.

That is an extremely Dutch thing to say to someone

There is a suggestion that Andy Burham may also have a cat called Mo.
If that's the case - he's obviously completely unsuitable to be PM if he can't even decide whether to be a cat or a dog person.

Is the cat vegan and the dog vegetarian?

Because if so, he can't possibly be PM.

As feared, an unbearded wife.

Extremely suspicious.

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

Yes, he is the second coming. The resurrection and the light.

FOREIGNERS?

Surely they’ve all been deported by now?? The people of Make-a-field have spoken out in their opinion polls and made it clear that they won’t tolerate this sort of thing.

millymollymoomoo · 24/06/2026 15:42

Well he should resign on the basis of being biggest hypocrite around - after stating that there must be a general
Election after Boris was to forced to resign and it being unacceptable to have an I dedicated leader ….. still we all know Labour are biggest bunch of hypocrites around

oh and as well as his basic inability to read the room on benefits, tax, illegals blah blah which are all disastrous

Sandwiches? Surely Andy isn’t planning on banning bacon, lettuce and tomatoes? At least, not in his first week?

Are you trying to hint that he's besties with Mr and Mrs Clooney?

I’m just a member of the public very concerned about how he and his wife will think if they have no beards to stroke but, on reflection, perhaps this doesn’t trouble them.

I suppose that at least we can comfort ourselves that there will be one matter on which there is unity between Labour and the Conservatives: apparently Kemi is also anti-sandwich.

Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone

Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been
Or what you plan to do

Is this our new National Anthem?

It might be awkward to have one specifically referencing the King now that, apparently, there are two of them.

In the 90s Richard was the less famous Osman brother.

We should have a referendum on this but only people who live in the NW can vote.

I'm on the Yes side. I will help run the campaign if necessary.

He has got excellent eyebrow game though

I'm sure I can remember way back in the 90's-00's his eyebrows were like a couple of crazy fat black slugs? I can't find a single photo to support that so I guess his people have had them all removed as part of his image making. Whatever his eyebrows are definitely "managed" these days ...

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

I third this.

He has to also declare which side of the Noel v Liam argument he was on until the reunion.

Make sure you get a bus and write something made up on the side. A bigly yellow bus. The king (the northern one) will help you fund it I’m sure, he loves buses.

Do you think now he'll get monjaroed and new teeth as part of a makeover to please the London vote?
