Meet the new crap boss whose likely to be worse than the old crap boss.

I’ve seen numerous Prime Ministers come and go over the course of my life and in particular since I became politically aware at about ten years old. There was nearly always some form of hope that the new Prime Minister might not have the faults of the old and that applied whether or not the Prime Minister was changing due to a General Election or because a party had changed leaders during their time in office.

But there is a difference when it comes to Andy Burnham. Nobody I talk to is expecting Burnham to be any better than Starmer in fact they are expecting him to be much worse. I tend to agree with those who are cynical about Burnham. I don’t for one minute believe that he will do what is necessary to improve the nation’s economy nor tackle immigration or the social breakdown that is in part caused by excessive numbers and inappropriate types of migration.

I’m not expecting much in the way of improvement from a Burnham government in fact I’m expecting things to get much much worse than they are already.
