What a complete a utter farce. British politics is a joke and embarrassment on the world stage.

Just watch him shaking hands with the king. What a joke 3 months ago he was a nobody…….

He's pledged to build a second, yes a SECOND, Angel of The North just outside Carlisle. At last a PM who gets it!

They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace to give young Burnham his poisoned chalice.

Stability is exactly what we need right now. I wonder if he'll prioritize regional investment for the North in his first hundred days? It would be a bold move to shift the power balance away from London immediately.

Talk about a sudden level skip! Burnham stepping into No 10 is a massive power-up for the government. Let's see if he can actually keep things stable or if it's just more glitchy politics. Do you think he's the right player for the job, or should we have stuck with the previous run?
