Andy Burnham and his Jesus sandals

The Daily Mail is focusing not on Andy's politics, what he's likely to do or not but the fact that he's out and about in Jesus sandals.

Are they trying to play into the loony left sandals brigade trope busy stuffing their faces with lentils?

Fisherman's sandals are a thing.

And so it starts.

So far today we’ve had his hair, his height, his land tax (that’s definitely happening 🤔) and now his shoes. I’m not a leftie but I really think these people need to find a hobby and let him get on with this leadership contest. It’s like being back in year 9 when the bitchy girls had something to say about your school bag and PE joggers. 🤦‍♀️ Just nasty bullies with nothing intelligent to say.

Well. At least we now know that they absolutely would say it about a man… 🫠

I misread it as Jesus scandals 😀.

I still have the Messiah/naughty boy comments chuckling around in my brain.

Andy is awesome

He’s such a handsome chap he can wear whatever footwear he likes.
DM and right wing rags have started the trash talk already. Maybe they’re jealous of his well ventilated feet ? Or his strong eyebrow game.

Our King of The North can wear whatever the hell he wants

And he bought his own specs.

I think I am starting to like Andy Burnham!
He seems to be rather popular!
LOL
He has JUST been sworn as MP. The leadership contest is yet to happen. But there is such a frenzy about him!

As far as I can see, ‘Jesus sandals’ are just, well, leather sandals. Which, whatever one thinks of Mr Burnham, is sensible footwear for the current weather.

Unless he’s nicked the bits of slipper donated to Prüm Abbey by Pepin the Short, that would be a tad eccentric

Jesus wears Andy sandals!

Well call me cynical but aren't they just writing about the only differences we are likely to notice? Next week the deck chairs will be arranged by a cheeky northern chappie in sandals; enjoy and see if you can spot the difference

Nobody over the age of 5 should be wearing those fuckers, and certainly not with ill-fitting jeans.
