What an absolute shambles.

Andy Burnham’s style of leadership continues to consist of having ‘conversations’ and possibilities floating around.

What we’re not seeing are actual decisions being made, hence John Healey’s budget maintaining the broken status quo.

The latest on the so-called Burnham-EU ‘reset’?

Well that potentially there could even be another EU Referendum, this time on rejoining the European Union or staying out.

Could it even take place on the same day as the next General Election?

Or will the Rejoin EU pledge simply be wedged into Labour’s next manifesto?

We don’t know, because Burnham’s premiership has consisted of lots of chatter and very little action.

What is certain is that the EU’s proposed €2Trillion budget would make EU membership more expensive than ever before.

At a time when countries in the European Union including the likes of Germany and Sweden are furious at proposed EU budget cost increases, Labour want to hand Brussels colossal sums. It’s insanity.

Specifically when it comes to Burnham though a significant backlash is brewing in his backyard.
