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.
So do you think Farage will be any better then ?

I would love to see a good old fashioned commence sense approach to spending. The current deficit is unsustainable.

I believe that Farage is the best-placed out of possible future leaders to deliver some much needed serious change. Whether the civil service would allow him to succeed I don't know.
How is Farage better placed to do anything about it.What are his credentials ?

Trump says the UK is bankrupt .....

.... £3trillion ... that's now the size of Britain's national debt

... £12trillion, once unfunded public sector pensions, PFI contracts and nuclear clean-up costs are included.

... best of luck to whoever gets the job 🤞
Every country in the world is bankrupt ,that is precisely how they are controlled by non-governmental agencies .

Desire for change, to put Britain first, and to redirect spend more efficiently rather than spaffing more and more money on the same old woke shit.

Labour says the wealthy should pay more and are planning to raise the 40% tax rate to 48% and then coming back to f**k your granny with a 10% property 'death' tax 👵

More so than the current bunch of left junkies. BTW if the Right is far right then I guess the Left must be far left.

... and now they've upset the IRA by not controlling illegal immigration into N.I - apparently the IRA will show them how it's done by giving them 24 hours to leave

There is such a thing as Far Right, same as there is such a thing as Far Left. It's just that Far Right is flung around in respect of anyone to the right of the person speaking regardless if justified. Some people say Farage and Robinson are Far Right but whenever I've asked for quotation supporting that nothing is forthcoming other than something a person on the Right would say. I consider myself Right, I'm not a skinhead with bovver boots. I'm not racist by any fair use of the term. The same as I don't consider people of the Left to be communists. I'm Right, they are Left ... neither of us are 'Far'.

... Over 500 small boat migrants have arrived in Dover this weekend

... why can't they just send them back and tell them to work from home 🚣 🏡💻
