Is Andy Burnham planning to depose Sir Keir Starmer-oid?

 

Andy Burnham - Mayor of Greater Manchester

They say that Labour doesn't do regicide, but it's obvious that Keir Starmer can't last because he's hopelessly out of his depth as PM. He always was the default prime minister. He's never been able to establish any connection or rapport with the British public who generally dislike him or find him boring. Starmer and his government, can't even shoot straight.

I'm not sure that Andy Burnham would be any better at the job, even though press reports claim that he's planning to return to Westminster. He can't even keep the buses running in Greater Manchester. This Friday 19th September to 22nd September, there will be no buses running in Greater Manchester because 2000 bus drivers are going on strike over a pay dispute. In Greater Manchester there's now only the Bee Network and TfGM don't employ the drivers. If you can't get a Bee Network bus then you're knackered because there's no other bus service. Sharon Graham and Unite the Union have got us all by the goolies.

No doubt Burnham will say that his hands are tied, but if he can't keep the buses running in Greater Manchester, how can he be expected to keep a country running.
