Why is there ‘outrage’ for the Manc number 10… 15:47 - Jul 24 with 1935 viewsSitfcB

…thing Burnham has done.

‘It’s a waste of taxpayers money’ blah blah.

Mainly from Reform and Restore lot obviously. They’re even going off on one about him getting a police escort everywhere (it’s just common practice) and that he should take public transport

Bar the royals the PM is probably always the most protected bloke in the country, he can’t just hop on trains anymore, again more negativity for him using a plane for a journey.

All the above is just shít stirring really isn’t it, to answer my own question, and people fall for it all the time and this is why there’s always angry people who want a new PM every week.

I think it’s a good thing.

Shows London isn’t the be all and end all.

It was a government building anyway.

Same as people slagging off the £2 bus fare cap and the 20% reduction in rates for pubs etc. May not affect everyone but helps (a little bit) for those it does.


FWIW Burnham comes across as a decent and professional bloke who seems to connect to people a lot better than previous robotic PM’s.

I wasn't aware there was any outrage, last time I checked Manchester was in the UK, and Burnham is PM for the UK.

Same can't be said for Clacton, as that is not in the US, yet their MP seems to spend an inordinate amount of time there . . .

I don’t give a sh1t where he lives.

Do I like him? Not sure yet but, I think he’s more likeable than ‘No idea Kier’.

Why does it have to be London or Manchester what’s wrong with say Cornwall?

Nothing wrong with Cornwall… they produce some very nice beers down there. However, it’s not the most blessed for ease of transport links, unless he’s flying in all the time.

No but if I was PM I’d chose somewhere like St.Michael’s Mount.

Reform and Restore have to go for performative outrage on anything. They need to spread division and discourse just to survive.

So yes, you've answered your own question. It is political sh!t stirring.

Yeah I’m noticing it more the last couple of weeks, the Restore, Reform and other far right stuff always getting pushed out there - leading to more people believing their shíte.

It sounds melodramatic, but along with all the misinformation pushed by dodgy foreign actors, the far right using it to coordinate attacks and the spread of non-consensual pornography, it’s a threat to security.

It’d be ok if there were controls on it, say like this place. But pretty much anything goes on there now.

It's almost as if the owner of X is a far-right sympathiser and racist who amplifies those views on his platform

He was called out brilliantly earlier this week too

The irony being Farage constantly moaning HE doesn't have enough security - a bloke who's party has just 8 MPs - is complaining the PM of the UK gets a police escort?! God give me strength!

Work from home Friday, loads did/do it, gives you chance to start the weekend early ie 2pm onwards, nothing wrong with that.

I’m not outraged by it but I do think it is gimmick. Listening to Burnham today I think he feels the same. He showed no conviction, made a very hesitant speech. Sounded a bit like his predecessor.

It is a daft idea akin to the EU moving their administration, twice a year, between Brussels and Strasbourg.

It would have been better to start an enquiry with a view to divesting power in England to regional authorities. A lot of Burnham’s views are the same as when he twice failed to gain election of the Labour Party, they may have been appropriate then but things have moved on.

As far as I am concerned the jury is still out. The budget in October will be the key to our future.

The jury should still be out. He's been PM 4 days...

I don’t have a problem with it, but two things bug me…

1. Its address isn’t number 10 of anything, why is it being called number 10 in the north? This doesn’t mean anything
2. It was always going to be in Manchester, which is a place that seems to be prospering in recent years. Could it have made more of a difference in another city?

Lets be honest... most people have already made up their mind on party lunes before the bloke even started!... political debate is sterile hostility towards the opposition, consumed my breakfast watching Jeremy Kyle referee a left v right discussion about "How's he done?"... hes been in charge less than a week!

Trouble is everyone wants everything but someone else to pay for it!.... we are all on board the handcart to hell because few are that keen see a different point of view. Being a Football Manager looks like a job for life compared to being a Prime Minister!

It's in a GCHQ 'outpost'. One of the most secure locations he could have picked outside of London.

No.10, because that's the slang term for the PM residence in London. Nothing else. PM operates from No.10 and it's been decamped to Manchester.

Doesn’t every party like to stir the brown stuff , after all they are all pigs at the trough , every nook cranny and crevice is turned inside out to expose some kind of weakness in the individual or party , it gets tiresome and every major player will experience the same treatment.
