After leaving office, reports claimed that Burnham and his predecessor as health secretary, Alan Johnson, had rejected 81 requests for an inquiry sitting in public to examine the high rate of deaths at Stafford Hospital
4th in the list of top ten most outrageous expense claims – another ‘thief’.

The morning after the Makerfield by election GB News had a quick word with former Labour MP Gloria del Piero (wood and would). She was absolutely gushing about Bodybags, I suspect she was somewhat more than moist and she was so happy. Apparently Andy wants to change the way politics is done in Westminster, how bloody vacuous is that. The way Parliament functions is laid down in weighty tomes and the Speaker ensures, or at least is supposed to, that the dishonourable members stick to said rules.
The Change thing is a recurring nightmare, clung to by every two bit shyster out there. Obummer never stopped going on about change and I believe our own offspring of a toolmaker has used the word and its associated phrases liberally. Coincidentally Spanner reckons the reason Bodybags won so handsomely was because Huge Rant turned up and endorsed him. It seems that 11,000 postal votes and a majority just shy of 10,000 was an irrelevance. The luvvie Huge Rant is now on Rodney Spanner’s list. It just goes to show how out of touch both Rodney and Huge really are. Huge, being in the acting profession, has an excuse, Rodney doesn’t.
As I scribble this on Saturday the rumour mill is buzzing about whether Rodney will step down and allow Bodybags to waltz into the job or he will tough it out. He might even spring a GE on everyone. Surely they have to follow their own rules and have a competition. As of Sunday there are many reports that the toolmaker’s son will be stepping down on Monday and will provide a timetable. This is in the face of threats of mass ministerial resignations. Another thing that hasn’t changed, according to reports, is that Spanner wants to feather his own nest with a list of demands ranging from a seat in the House of Lords to some pecuniary arrangements that will benefit his bank account(s). The man is a grifter.
The story goes that Bodybags will bully Rodney out of his job as PM, presumably he will somehow stop anyone standing against him and will then be crowned Labour leader. The Tories tried that, see T May for details, and it went very pear shaped very quickly. I suppose for once changing Prime Minister does count as change but very little else will. Anyone who thinks things will improve with Burnham as PM is sadly deluded. It will be marginally different but certainly not an improvement.
To paraphrase the newt fancier I can tell you about someone else who was into this change thing and that was Obummer. I don’t think he changed much, it was still the same old corrupt Democrats. The associated slogans included
- Change we can believe in
- Change we need
- Simply Change
We even had a party here, unsurprisingly not very long lived, called Change UK. Two of its leading lights were Chuckup Umunna and Anna Sozzlebury. It was there one minute and gone the next.
The Change thing was also used frequently in the 2024 General Election. Notably by Reform UK, the LibDums and the Green bar stewards. Nothing much really changed, we are still being robbed blind by the government.
One thing that will not change is the number of invaders crossing the channel and the million or so legal migrants who rock up at various airports. Bodybags is fraught with anxiety that these poor people have to live in sub standard accommodation, his words not mine. I would be more than happy to provide them a flimsy tent and to site it on some remote inhospitable island around our shores. Not so for our Bodybags, he wants to provide them with a much better standard of housing and all at our expense. His plan would do nothing to discourage the scroungers.
It looks like the one change we are about to get is a change of Prime Minister. It will be a blessed relief to no longer hear the mantra “Let me be perfectly clear” though I guess the King o’t North will develop his own catchphrases. This all assumes of course that no other ambitious Labour MP throws their hat in the ring. I rather hope one or two do, there will be an encouraging amount of socialist blood letting before it is resolved.
Of course, come Monday morning, this could all have changed again, there has been an amazing amount of flip-flopping at Number 10 over the past couple of years.
As a footnote you will all have realised that not one Minister or MP has come out in support of the toolmaker’s son. Most have said nothing, a few have told him he needs to go. With that level of support even Lady Victoria Sponge will be telling him to jack it in and to think, we used to believe she was his handler. His predecessor, NikNak, has some words of advice for Bodybags should he be anointed.
For my final footnote it has been said that Keith is in Chequers in a volcanic rage. He feels he has been betrayed by his colleagues none of who have said anything but it is time to go. Now he knows how the tramp must have felt when our dear leader took over the Labour Party. I am sure his legacy will be seen in a very bad light and so it should. Never ever trust a politician.
