Andy Burnham

And you see the men being released early.

You see them having, uh, microphones thrust into their faces and, and many of them welcoming the experience and being encouraged by journalists from right-wing newspapers to thank Andy Burnham.

Um, I don't, I don't know whether they turned up with bottles of champagne this time so they could hand it to a prisoner and encourage him to shake it and pop the cork and then stick it on their own front page.

I haven't seen that this time round.

But again, my mission to ensure that you're among the best informed people in this country means I, I explain to you how that happens.

Get them to thank Andy Burnham.

That'll be a good one for the news bulletins.

Whatever you do, don't mention the fact that Rishi Sunak was facing [chuckles] breaching his legal responsibilities over the crisis that Keir Starmer inherited and that Andy Burnham has now inherited from Keir Starmer as well.

And we also don't really know where John Healy wants to get it to after the budget.

And this comes just after the Labour conference when Andy Burnham was a bit of a kid in a candy shop where he seemed to just want to buy or nationalise everything.

They've already nationalised rail services.

Now they also want to buy up the trains as well.

They've released them in a panic.

Now Burnham's got his, "Andy, you've released these guys."

Iran.

"We're saying that they're Iranian terrorists, and we've been keeping tracks on them." "Oh, fuck, I've released them.

So these patsies turn up, don't really know what's going on, probably nicking the fuel, don't really understand what's going on, and realize halfway through, "Hang on a minute, we've been set up here."

We've been done.

Two days before this kicks off, Andy Burnham is in the United States talking with Donald Trump.

Who benefits from all this? Israel, obviously, the Zion cult.

So it's a kind of resonant issue.

The other just thing I'll say is, you know, this comes as like Andy Burnham, you know, says, I'm staying in office till 2029 and basically is promising to rejoin the European Union.

So that's a story to watch.

And we will be covering that going forward and how that affects everything.

There's no way we're gonna get away from this one.

Andy Burnham cannot wish it away.

Nobody's wishing this away.

You know, d- uh, diesel is, is foundational to everything we do, my friends.

And if this had been followed through and not thwarted like it had at seemingly the 11th hour, this could have been one of the biggest terrorist attacks on a military base in the United Kingdom, if not the Western world.

So this was massive, but look at how Andy Burnham reacted to it.

Of course, you had the public reaction, everyone speculating who it might have been.

Now, of course it was impressionable young men.

And I'll give you just an example of why I think it's important.

When I was First Minister... and when I was also in previous ministerial positions some of the best advice that I managed to get and people that I relied on in confidence were people like Gordon Brown people like the late Jim Wallace you know and they never breached that confidence you know I could call them into the office or you know go out to their houses as I would do sometimes and they would give some really honest advice and cross party and you knew it was coming from a place that they were didn't have skin in the game so it could give you a really honest account so my intention you know I'm 41 so I guess I'm kind of wise elder here but I've had some conversations with Labour you know I have some of Andy Burnham's team about some things that I think about and they can completely discard it but I think they know it's coming from a place that he's not he's not an SNP politician trying to trap us he's actually got an interest in kind of broader public service.

So speaking to you know Nicholas Sturgeon first minister former first minister to former first minister Do you think it was a mistake for her to get involved in that way of being critical? No, look, I know

I asked the question and I appreciate it, but a couple of things I would say...

[clapping] Fantastic, Kamala.

Speaking of applause, poor old Andy Burnham struggled to get any the other day when he was making his brilliant labor conference speech.

I suspect someone forgot to press the clap now button.

Best interests of this country.
