Worse than Starmer’: Farage blasts Andy Burnham as UK’s potential ‘most left-wing PM’ in decades
Sky News ^ | June 24, 2026 | Paul Murray

Posted on 06/23/2026 7:52:04 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage predicts Labour MP Andy Burnham will be the “most left-wing prime minister for 80 years” if elected. “This is going to be the most left-wing prime minister for 80 years,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It’ll be Starmer but even worse. “Burnham comes in, as I say, treated yesterday in the House of Commons by Labour MPs like the messiah. The reality is going to be different. “The honeymoon I predict will be very short-lived.”

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage predicts Labour MP Andy Burnham will be the “most left-wing prime minister for 80 years” if elected.

“This is going to be the most left-wing prime minister for 80 years,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray.

Burnham will just be another woke-leftist, and above all GLOBALIST place-holder, puppet and object of public ire for another 18 months, while the destruction of the UK and its people continue apace.

and anytime they claim they have a mandate because of their 2024 landslide they will be reminded that the landslide was for a moderate common-sense Labour government not a radical leftist government.

Even there, they wanted to vote the Tories out of power so Labour won by default.

I've seen several stories now that imply that Starmer's problem was that he was not charismatic enough and that Burnham will be so much more appealing.

But the reporters never seem to mention that the people of the UK are not focused on the charisma of the Prime Minister. They just want to quit being slaughtered and raped by muslims.

Why is Nigel Farage always on the outside of power, looking in and scowling? Is he a member of some permanent Loser Party, one with no real influence?

The group making these Prime Minister choices, they are the ones who must be weeded out and replaced, before this still Revolving Door stops installing one unacceptable leader after the other. Who is this group of deciders?

Farage: "Starmer was the most Left-Wing MP in British history."

Burnham: "Hold my pint..."

Hey, it worked in Canada. Those arseholes in America’s Hat sat by and did nothing to prevent the commie trash who had Castro’s little bastid in charge simply swap out with something worse.

Brit will do the same. No election. Not that elections matter anymore. See every “election” in the US since mailin ballots were invented.

Did anyone think that Labour policies would change? They’ve already lifted the veil of representing the people. They have an agenda that they’ll impose no matter what. Putting in a new face is just a distraction.

Andy Burnham could rise from nothing to PM by winning a local by-election by 9231 votes. The by-election was deliberately triggered, the sitting MP disqualifying himself, to get Andy back as an MP - making him eligible for party leadership.

The UK is broken to the core.

If I’m a Brit with money and I have young children now would be a good time to bail on that country. The Muslim invasion is succeeding and the leftists are destroying their government. Barring a miracle of miracles the UK is done!

From what I’ve read Farage is right.

Here is one perspective on what is coming to the U.K.
