There is nothing authentic about Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham and his allies have supposedly been incandescent with Wes Streeting for a “transparent” attempt to derail Andy Burnham’s by-election, through the appalling tactic of highlighting that our lord and saviour Andy of Manchester, like Streeting, proudly and publicly supports rejoining the EU. Apparently, this “reeks of desperation and selfishness.” Has nobody told wily Wes that Andy has a God-given right to this seat? That the politics and principles of the people of Makerfield, and their right to choose their constituency MP, has no place in getting in the way of Andy’s path to Number 10 Downing Street?

Apparently, this “reeks of desperation and selfishness.” Has nobody told wily Wes that Andy has a God-given right to this seat? That the politics and principles of the people of Makerfield, and their right to choose their constituency MP, has no place in getting in the way of Andy’s path to Number 10 Downing Street?
