Oh Andy, Andy, Andy.. just Why?

[I categorically refuse to put the word ‘lighthearted’ in the title to indicate that Im not actually traumatised. Also because saying this post is lighthearted is just as facile as holding a little bus or building a Lego haus to illustrate my point.
See below.]

I realise that I don’t need to follow Mr B on instagram but I do and I’m feeling deeply patronised:

First a little toy bus (talking about buses innit), then a Lego house (building more Lego houses to amuse the homeless), a bit of cosplay by dressing up as a Sainsbury’s man of the people (to show that you can work at Sainsbury's and a sexy uniform is thrown in) and now… throwing a cowboy hat at the camera/phone to illustrate that cowboy builders are …cowboys.

Make it stop.

AIBU

Anyone would think he's married to a marketing exec.....Oh, wait!

I thought the IMF bail out was predicted for last Easter?

The Tories blamed Labour for everything for at least 10 years of their stint in power.

Eta: I just realised you were replying to a post by @DebbieSavage . Chapeau Debbie, Rose fell for it hook line and singer. You are good!

Parliament has been in recess. Genuinely what are you expecting him to have done, apart from promotional stuff?

I heard on the radio that he has ten minutes a day in his diary to film whatever content his social team have set up for him, then they edit it for the different platforms.

Polling shows it’s reaching people, so that’s ten minutes well spent IMO, even if the content isn’t up your/my personal street.

I just think this relentless negativity is so depressing. Can we at least wait for a proper fuck-up before we start moaning?

Well exactly. He’s good at marketing. Which is apparently a bad thing somehow…

What a total shit fest of a thread. Fucking Tories.

Who would you like to see in No.10? Badenoch the liar? Farage the swindler?

Did they build the little LEGO house? I must admit I felt that the finish on the build was incredibly poor.

I came across this account a few weeks ago and at first assumed it must be a parody account, unfortunately it’s not funny.
Do we really want a PM who spends part of his day making instagram posts like a third class candidate on the apprentice?
I didn’t particularly rate KS but at least he came over as a serious adult not a wannabe influencer. I despair that this is the level of politician we have.

Haha

It would interesting to see how those areas without buses, voted in the Brexit vote. Our buses network was propoed up by EU funding, all the charities made it clear that the new proposed regeneration funds, wouldn't touch the sides for what the EU funded.
How do people feel about the running down of the health service, the police, no prison places and of course, "getting Brexit done" without border agreements, then telling their friends to use hotels and charge what they want? All from the Tory government? People forget what it was like to get a GP appointment, have a dentist. When four hours in A&E was a long wait. When people could phone ambulances. The only thing that stopped corridor care in our local hospital was two rapes, because there were girls of 18, put into beds between adult men.
We obviously need regional politics.

😂😂
Are you for real??? You sound positively unhinged my friend. Take a breather and maybe boil up some hemp.

Burnham is a fucking disaster for this country, even worse than Starmer and that is a low bar.
It is a total shit show, and the whole country - the whole world can see what a laughing stock they are. I can't even watch them on TV, it is mortifying watching them stutter through even the most basic questions.

This is the thing. Nobody is going to be able to please everyone. And likewise they are not going to be able to resolve all of our problems in a matter of months. I was pretty much behind Starmer although I do understand a lot of his critics’ points; and I’m certainly willing to give Burnham a chance. (Although I really wasn’t happy with his route to no. 10)

Indeed!! As personality-less as he was at least he behaved like an adult!

Literally ANYONE but Labour - anyone at alll. My dog, your dog, the pet rabbit would do a better job. They are an absolute disgrace and have no idea what they are doing. They should just do the right thing, and call an election, and put country before party.

Debs is pulling your leg, she’s pretty good at it fear not. It’s just v close to what gets put up.

Burnham in an inposter whom has been foisted on us by the hard left to force through policies there is no mandate for. He has had no experience of politics in the last ten years and has no idea what he is doing, but that doesn't matter, because the far left know exactly what they are planning to do - and Burnham is just a puppet carrying out their dirty work without the consent of the British people. The quicker people wake up to this fact, the better.

Bingo, you can't actually put together any coherent reply so you are bot/racist/etc is always wheeled out.

Don't you dare accuse me of being a bot, just to try and deflect from what I am actually saying. It is so boring, why don't you change the bloody record? For ten years you have all said the same.

It is like the left know of no one that holds a different view - and they live in some kind of enclave regurgating the same sentences over and over again.

Gosh there’s a lot of hate out there for Mr B.

I like him. He has twinkly eyes and has mastered the capsule wardrobe. Not so sure about the guitar action but if it makes him happy…

My point is that his SM is pants. Using little toys as visual mnemonics is patronising and facile. His SM team need to raise their game.

One imagines you need to have more than 'twinkly eyes' to be leading the whole country effectively, maybe he could try out for a boy band next week instead? And hand our great nation back to the adults - please, before it is too late.

I'm not a Tory. Far from it. I am solidly left of centre. But I am done with working through chronic illness getting below inflation pay rises (public sector) and watching AB pretend like it's all cushy down here in the SE.

Thats it. I actually want him to succeed. I think he's our best shot at countering the rise of the extreme right wing.

Far worse. At least Starmer seemed serious. Burnham seems utterly ineffectual with extra irritating faux quirks.

You’ve now started started two threads hating on his social media, and when people join in the hate, you’re shocked at the hate…
