AIBU to think Andy Burnham might call a general election soon?

[Mywishistoclimbthe3peaks]

To think Andy Burnham will call a general election before Christmas? Yes it would be a massive roll of the dice but,

Reform - don't have the numbers for a GE and there's all frog faces suspicious money bringing him a lot of heat.

Torys - kemi doesn't have a lot of depth, I feel and she hasn't changed much in the polls. She's good at the dispatch box but let's face it anyone could stand up and insult the other side.

By calling a GE Andy would have his own mandate and break the deadlock of the back benchers.

Not being unreasonable = he needs to call a GE

Your being unreasonable = Robotic Kier and Ratchet Reeves have gone and Andy just needs to get on with it now.

My apologies, but, yes - it’s a war of attrition out there.

I think Labour have brought this upon themselves - they’ve proven themselves incompetent, duplicitous, indecisive etc., so there is zero goodwill left. Kemi has offered them support on welfare reform, so let’s see if they go for that - I seriously doubt it.

She wore a dress made by a millionaire whose brand value is into a billion now. Why not choose a struggling designer who could have done with the promotion?

If you mean politicians it’d have more to it if people said the same when Starmer was landing blows to get ahead.

I will agree with you on that score, it does piss me off when Labour or Labour-adjacent people do this.

Well, thank you for your gracious permission to ignore your posts, I was going to anyway. 🙄Although I will first point out that animated gifs are problematic for some people and you might want to try exercising a little consideration. It wasn't even funny anyway.

Sackcloth and ashes?

There is some playroom between sack and ashes and a VB dress.

Like it or not, a dress that costs almost a grand has social significance.

Repost.

I don't think that dress would suit you, tbh. Perhaps head over to style and beauty for some advice?

Did you pay such close attention to the cost of Philip May's clothes? Hugh O'Leary's?

Nice attack and distract here.

Why would he? Whatever he is, he’s not a fool.

Why?

It's not necessary.

Would also be a huge waste of millions.
