As you might already know, we have a new Prime Minister in the UK. Here he is (above) with some people who are encouraging him to move to the USA (at least, I presume that's what their placards are saying).
He was only recently elected as an MP, and immediately assumed that he had some divine right to lead his party, and the country (politically). The old PM (Starmer) immediately resigned, and Handy Andy took over. Simple as that.
Over the past two weeks, since his heavenly inauguration, he's been wandering about, shaking hands and kissing babies, so now he's exhausted, and he's gone off on holiday. Well, you would, wouldn't you!
He's made a few instant policy decisions, including letting perverts and dangerous criminals out of prison early, so they've got more space for TV Licence dodgers and speeding motorists. He's also having a go at those same motorists, by making older cars more expensive to run, and older drivers despair. I'm even considering my own future on the road, although how I'd cope I really don't know.
His first couple of weeks in power are not giving us much confidence; unless you're a criminal, an illegal immigrant, or on the dole. If you lead a normal working life, with a home, a mortgage, and a car, then he's coming for your money! And if you're an OAP, he'll definitely make sure you are poorer.
The one good thing that he's promised, is to look into the whole 'Care Homes', Carers, Caring, business. The whole kaboodle is run by a bunch of money-grubbing shysters, who have all become multi-millionaires, whilst their elderly clients become penniless. The whole system really needs to be given a good shake-up. We now wait to see if Andy's concern is just 'words'. The present system is a criminal bloody DISGRACE. If he can sort-out the worst of these scoundrels; he'll have my support.
I'm looking forward to the next round of PMQ's in September, to see how the new boy fares against Kemi. She's a tough cookie, and takes no prisoners. I just hope (unlike the previous numpty) that he actually ANSWERS her questions.

Unfortunately, 'Our Andy' is just another died-in-the-wool socialist spendthrift windbag. Look at his first action - double the cost of being PM by setting up the charade of "No 10 of the North", as if he and his minions will ever see any of the real North (like Newcastle, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Carlisle etc). And what of his so-called brilliant track record as mayor of Manchester - more than a £billion in debt, out of control rough sleeping (but he's going to wipe that out at a stroke as PM?!?!)....
I remember his time as Health Secretary under Blair - utterly useless.
And let's not forget, he was rejected three times when he stood for leadership of the Labour Party, so why does everyone think that he is some kind of New Age Messiah??
Sorry, rant over, must calm down for Sunday morning ...
I'm not sure that Burnham is riding on the crest of a wave and invigorating the current Labour Party. There isn't quite that feel good factor that Tony Blair brought in after the 1997 Election victory, although he eventually proved to be the architect of Britain's decline.
Is a new name at the top of the Labour Party really going to change the Electorate's opinion of Labour?
From what I've been reading over the last two years during the catastrophic short Starmer years, people have had it with Labour and they would be quite happy to send them to the heap of political has beens, just like they did with David Lloyd George and his Liberal Party in 1922, who never again saw full political power again. Could that ever happen to Labour? The thought alone must horrify any hardline Socialists.
The country requires change. But I don't think Burnham is going to provide it. Only a Party that puts British people first will appeal to the Electorate. And Labour are still continuing NOT to put British people first.
Does a new name at the helm
