@boblister_poole "Rachel Reeves hails her achievements", no-one else does. Self-praise is no honour!

Rachel Reeves hails her achievements but how is the economy doing? Reeves said she was proud to report that the economy was strong & claimed that through strength, resilience & determination, Britain had beaten the odds once again?She’s Got To Be Joking! thetimes.com/article/99761d…

@ik7363627577492 Apparently it's legal. It's also illegitimate!

How can this be democratic or right? A nobody just walks into No.10, no election ,no scrutiny.Failed twice to be elected leader of his party and no he's conned his way into being the UKs PM? Its insanity like an undemocratic third world banana republic dictatorship. #electionnow

@mikeerwydd1968 I don't pay a fee to Sainsbury's when I shop at Tesco. Personal choice rather than authoritarianism!

Bore da pobl. I've got to say this labour government are complete and utter w⚓️s 3.6 million people have stopped paying bbc tv license fee. So what does Lisa nandy and her department do. They want everyone who pays for Netflix, amazon and Disney to pay the tv license even if like me never watch the bbc left wing biased bollocks. It its so well loved (lmfao) Make the bbc subscription. Let them do adverts. I hate everything this woke lefty labour government stand for.

@sean_russe76226 Legal, but illegitimate!

On Monday, Burnham will take control of our country. He has no democratic authority to do that. He is unelected and has no mandate. He refuses to answer what he intends for the country. It’s astounding what’s going on in the UK. Mass civil unrest seems imminent.

@Steven_Swinford How much is this self-serving, pointless exercise costing in duplicated roles, offices & etc?

Antona Romeo, the Cabinet Secretary, will appoint a DG for Number 10 North who will be in place in the first week of Andy Burnham's premiership The role will be based full-time in Manchester and the new DG will work closely with Dan York-Smith, the PM's PPS who will continue to be based in Downing Street York-Smith will retain his constitutional role as part of the 'golden triangle' alongside Romeo and the King's PPS A Whitehall source said: "The civil service is primed and ready to deliver for Andy Burnham. Number 10 North will be up and running from day one, focused on driving devolution and spreading opportunity right across the country."

@adepstein1 No mandate, scrutiny or authority. Have the Fabians been using the @UKLabour as a Trojan horse?

Andy Burnham is effectively our next PM as by this evening 349 Labour MPs had nominated him to replace Sir Keir Starmer. So the maths makes him invincible. Only few weeks after returning to Westminster following ten year hiatus. And with no mandate from British public. What a disgraceful moment in this country’s political history

@christopherhope How to devalue one of Europe's greatest honours!

NEW Sir Keir Starmer has been presented with the Légion d'honneur, recognising his work with France on the security of Europe and Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron thanked the Prime Minister for his “personal leadership” and “decency” as he gave the award. He said: “We found with you a very reliable and friendly partner.” More at @GBNEWS.

@DrChrisParry Helped their economy and security at the expense of ours!

Worked a lot in France’s interests. So it makes sense.

@Hepworthclare I think I'll throw-up!

This ⬇️

@HolllanderJohn I've read that it's legal. It's also illegitimate!

From 24,927 votes in Makerfield to be crowned Prime Minister for 70 million people. This is not normal is it ? Andy Burnham needs to call a general election!!!!!

@LabourBerry Apparently the coup is legal, it's also illegitimate!

He's a PM in name only and always will be - since nobody has endorsed him - except for the PLP...supporting the over year long coup.

@canadiancarol1 Authoritarianism has arrived!

So Labour have manipulated Parliament so that NO opposition parties can question Andy Burnham on his policies until September ,,,,,,A DICTATORSHIP IS TAKING PLACE BEFORE OUR VERY EYES

@CatOutOfTheBag2 We're doomed!

So it was never the principle of "saving the planet" that drove #Miliband , it was "position & power" so typical of all #Labour career politicians. Damage caused by #NetZero to the #UK economy was bad enough, as #Chancellor he'll totally destroy our country. 🫣😱 God Help Us 🙏

@PolitlcsUK #brutusburnham

🚨 NEW: The Tories have branded Andy Burnham "Bottler Burnham" It comes after Labour blocked a vote that would have forced him to face questions in Parliament when he becomes PM on Monday

@Joanna19997073 It's a coup. Sadly, it seems legal. However, it is illegitimate!

It's a mathematical impossibility for anyone other than Andy Burnham to become PM next week. Why are we accepting it?! Mayor to PM in record speed. Unbelievable!

@Winstamike PMQ's, FPTP & everything with which they disagree. Authoritarianism has kanded@

The Labour Party are a disgrace. The sooner these Socialists are booted out the better! You watch, Burnham will announce he wants to abolish PMQs next! #Andyforhimself

@Imogenlemon02 It's a coup by a conniving, cowardly cabal, a cosy coterie of the #kakistocracy that's @UKLabour !

I find it quite extraordinary and totally unacceptable that our country will have a new PM next Monday but he won’t be making facing parliamentary scrutiny until September. Burnham has planned this coronation for over a year and now he isn’t ready to face those who represent us.

@KEdge23 #brutusburnham

Labour are blocking scrutiny of Andy Burnham. What are they hiding?

@HeatherJLpals Throw our money away to make himself look good!

This is what Keir Starmer does

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg It's a coup by a conniving cabal, a cosy coterie that is the epitome of the #kakistocracy that is @UKLabour. Stealing OUR democracy! The Fabians have used Labour as a Trojan horse!

This is not how the Commons ought to operate.
