Just been reading tweets about Ann Widdicombe's murder

It's why I have never related to left-wing politics. The hate in their hearts to anybody with different views to them has always been off the scale
Very well said. They are a hideous tribe. Agree with us or be damned.
...both 100% correct

we're probably at or just about to be at the Burnham peak. He will not solve the two major issues, immigration (legal/illegal) and energy costs / cost of living. He will be unpopular in a year, nevermind two. Away from a script in a non-friendly environment, he is poor.

Who can solve these issues quickly and how?

Back in 2016 when it was decided that we were going to leave the EU whether you think it was a good idea or not the £ immediately took a 15% drop against the $ from which it's never really recovered. And we hadn't even left at that point! That's been affecting our economy for a decade.

We had the Covid crisis think what damage that has caused.

We then have the war in Ukraine which has not helped and now another war in Iran.

There was the damage Lis Trust caused and we've had 7 Prime minister's in the last 10 years.

Reform say they will use the navy to tow the boats back to France. Even if they can do that the French have got to be prepared to receive the boat people back. If a group of illegal migrants jumped in a dingy and decided to go to France and the French tried to return them would be accept them?

It's obvious already that Andy Burnham is just a people pleaser. It's no good having a leader who changes decisions at the drop of a hat just because it gets some bad press.
