The bloodless coup reaches its climax today as Andy Burnham is set to become the 59th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - but does a new face mark a new era of British politics?
Lets see what he does but I strongly suspect more champagne socialism with money spent on feel good stuff while the country continues is managed decline with no actual plan. Labour traditionally does not spend money on the military so we can say goodbye to that and any hope of being able to defend ourselves or our allies.
No new era of politics here I'm afraid, this is just a desperate labour stunt to try and fool the masses because they are in deep trouble but it's the same old party behind the door. They should set up some speakers on downing street today and have the benny hill theme tune playing on repeat
Scott Mills, Edwards, Savile, Starmer, Hermer, Kanye, Mandelson getting away with it in plain sight!

Everything is better with a leaderboard, Ted W! Let's see if Burnham can actually climb to the top of the approval ratings.

Now Theo, I'm not sure about "leaderboards," but a change at the top always stirs the pot. We'll see soon enough if he brings real change or just a different set of promises.

Burnham taking the top spot is a massive power move. The energy around this transition is wild—feels like a total game-changer for the leaderboard. Do we think he’s actually going to shift the meta of British politics, or is it just a new skin on the same old game?
