The UK is on a path towards the “poisonous” politics of the US under the current Labour leadership, Andy Burnham has said.
Discourse is becoming more polarised and “communities don’t work together any more”, he said during a campaign speech.
The Greater Manchester mayor, who hopes to return to Westminster in next week’s Makerfield by-election, and has made no secret of his Labour leadership ambitions, has been critical of Sir Keir Starmer’s direction.
He asked the audience: “Does anyone here feel that we can just stay on the path that we’re on as a country?
“It doesn’t feel doable, does it? It doesn’t feel that we’re heading in the right direction.
“It doesn’t feel like we’re heading to better lives for people.
“Things are getting harder, and politics is getting more polarised, and the path we’re on, if we are not careful, is a path towards the politics of the United States of America, a polarised, poisonous politics where people in communities don’t work together any more.”
It comes after Mr Burnham said he would not be “squeamish” about reducing the welfare bill to fund defence spending.

“poisonous” = The Citizens refusing to put up with any more of the Leftist BS
Seems like Britain’s “Labour” Party is quite poisonous today.
“If we’re not careful”????? Oh you’re there Andy. You’ve been there for quite some time. You imported a bunch of 7th century goat humpers as well as a lot of the violent scum of Africa. Your deep state is if anything, FAR WORSE than in America and unlike America, Britain has no bill of rights so the government oppresses the people terribly. Your largest media organization is public, gets its funding by force from everybody in the country who owns a TV and is hopelessly biased and out of touch.
Your economic performance since the great recession has been abysmal and on a per capita basis, you would rank 49th ahead of only Mississippi in GDP.
Take a bow.
Just the British elite way of saying the commoners are getting uppity
“The Greater Manchester mayor”
Manchester? Isn’t that the place where islamists blew themselves up at an arianna grande concert, purposely killing young girls???

He’s going to be PM, and even worse than Starmer.
Belligerent ghouls
Run Manchester schools
Spineless swines
Cemented minds
Yes, but also people are allowed to talk about and publish their opinions. Free speech is very poisonous.
Clearly the Brits aren’t watching how their countrymen and other Europeans are loving America.
I can’t leave for the weekend without sharing videos of World Cup tourists trying American food 🇺🇸

Maybe the problem isn’t our demolition derby politics or our people, Mr Burnham…maybe the problem is YOU.
