How much did Andrew’s security cost for the Great North Run?

[MsGreying]

How much has Andy's security cost for him taking part in The great north run today?

Kemi would suit a Hyrox.

Farage would probably struggle to carry his pint back from the bar. Horrible, grey, stinky looking bloke.

I mean I assume when they get a new PM, and they're arranging the PPOs, they check with them that they're capable of doing whatever sports the PM (or Queen or whoever) tends to do. Not much point asking someone who can't ride a bike to look after Boris or whatever. So presumably Andy's team will have some people who can run. Because he's presumably going to go running at least a few times a week, whether or not that happens to be for the Great North Run.

Exactly...full security for life, as well as Public Duty Costs Allowance upto £115,000....for being PM for 49 days and fucking the country up.

I've seen a pic where I think I spotted the protection officers and they were keeping up.

Agree, imagine they are probably quite fit anyway, for the job.

He should stay locked up at home and never go out in public or interact with the public in case keeping him alive costs a few bob. 😳

It’s a great thing he did 🤷‍♀️

community, charity, running with literally the electorate

You’d have to be a special type of cunt to take against it 🤔

Other than perhaps his mum, I don't think I've ever heard anyone call Andy Burnham Andrew before.

As for the other Andrew, he could run the length and breadth of the country with no bother. Cause as we all know, he doesn't sweat.

Imagine having to run next to him for 3 hours all that huffing and puffing and sweating

He actually did it in sub 2. He’s quite an experienced runner. And everyone is huffing and puffing and swearing in a half marathon race!

(I did of course mean sweating but leaving the typo as it’s apt!)

These events have huge security anyway, much of which you can’t see. Snipers on roofs and in buildings that the public won’t even be aware of. They’d be there regardless of who is running as any mass event is a significant risk for terror activity. Possibly a few extra policemen but the Prime Minister running wouldn’t have been a significant extra cost at all.

I imagine the cost is the same as it is whatever he does as he will have security all the time.

This is so depressing. Of all the things to single out.

Think that was Cameron?

I wonder if he got any sponsorship money of Sir Keir?

What a strange thing to criticise the Prime Minister for.

He’s raising money for charity, modelling a healthy lifestyle, being authentic by carrying on with the habits and hobbies he had before becoming Prime Minister (you don’t run it in under 2 hours if it’s just something you’ve taken up as a publicity stunt!) and spending time actually amongst the people he represents.

Love the image of AB going up and down the green benches in Parliament with the 'sponsorship form' so beloved of every child I've ever known 😂

In a world that has Kim Jong Un, Trump and Putin amongst national leaders (there are of course others) running a half marathon for charity is an utterly bizarre thing to find fault with.

Absolutely!

But it appears that @MsGreying is a Truss/Farage devotee🤪

Probably a similar amount to those who ran with David Cameron in the Boxing Day fun run he did (at bank holiday rates and all... the horror)

Why don't you say you just don't like him and any excuse will do to berate him 🙄
Personally I think he's a breath of fresh air and for once in a very, very long time I'm hopeful for the country and the way it's being led.

Why is it "shameful,". OP?

And cheering on Parkrunners .The King, that is.1st time on here , thought this would be added to comments above about KC.

I'm pretty critical of Burnham but I struggle to see how anyone could be against him running? He's got £72m of funding to catch up - he was probably collecting donations for his next campaign!

I think it’s tremendous that he raced. Excellent example to the nation of healthy living and absolutely on point with his desire to improve things in the north. He presumably has expensive security every day?

Oh I thought you meant the Andrew formerly known as Prince.

And I’ve just seen that others thought that, too.

My guess is: no more than if he’d stayed at home.
