You do that 😘
I don't think I need your endorsement or permission
What a farce that was today. They even had the gall to have a presenting officer, explaining the procedure. There was no democratic election, the presenting officer and Shabana Mahmood were laughing as they announced the results. So we have a new PM, who has been elected without a mandate ( oh yes he has if you listen to him). Can you imagine if this was the Tories or Reform. Before the left say the Tories did it, they had a proper election and all candidates were MPs. This is from someone who thinks the Tories got what they deserved. Do we deserve a PM elected on 25k votes?

When the Tories did it the amount of leftist moaning about it was off the charts.
Oh dear, no chance of stopping the boats, we will probably be supplying more
At least the Tories had more than 1 candidate…. Oh sorry there was 1 other candidate who got 1 vote ( but the candidate voted for Burnham). At least they thought it was all a jolly jape. Lucy Powell was like a giggling schoolgirl ( apologies if this sounds sexist). What an advert for democracy

Stop reading the right wing rags.
He has a mandate as labour won a landslide at the last general election.
We have a parliamentary system not presidential.
If he shifts from Labour's electoral pledges then you have an argument. Until then you do not.

What was the mandate for? 'Change' as far as I remember - change for the worst I guess. Now Burnham promises more vague, pretty meaningless jargon with practically no actual policies in sight.

If someone is right wing......they are going to read right wing material.
What are you saying they should read?
I agree with you that Labour have the right to do this.....just as I believed the Tories did....but lots of lefties didn't. We can point out the double standards surely.
Well, we think he's going to have wealth taxes (which I find interesting as...while I see the ethical argument....I don't see how it works) and he's also made a nod towards 'hope not hate'.....which we can definitely criticise.....Also looking at his commentary we get an idea of what he considers important.....Censorship and limiting access to alternative political opinions for example.
