BURNHAM TELLS ZELENSKY BRITAIN IS 100% BEHIND HIM! BUT ARE WE?

Andy Burnham tells President Zelensky that Britain is 100% behind Ukraine. BUT ARE WE, AND WHO GAVE HIM THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR EVERY BRITISH TAXPAYER?

Of course Russia invaded Ukraine. But does that mean we must support every decision Zelensky makes, supply weapons indefinitely and keep writing cheques without a serious debate about the endgame? And while Burnham promises unwavering support, Donald Trump is pursuing his own arrangements with Putin, including a controversial Russian diesel deal. Is Trump opening a door to peace or giving Moscow an economic lifeline? And where does that leave Britain?

But Ukraine is only HALF the story tonight. DOES ANDY BURNHAM ENGAGE HIS BRAIN BEFORE OPENING HIS MOUTH?

First came his controversial comments about Russia and Brexit, with the head of MI5 having to distinguish between attempted interference and evidence that the referendum result was changed.

Then there's MANCHESTER CITY! With the club embroiled in a major financial rules controversy, Burnham has been praising the investment of its Abu Dhabi owners and saying how concerned he'd be if they walked away. Is that appropriate intervention from a Prime Minister?

And now his comments in Parliament about the man accused in the Ann Widdecombe murder case have raised another question: did he respect the presumption of innocence and the Speaker's warning about discussing an active criminal trial? Parliamentary privilege may protect what MPs say in the Commons, but does it excuse poor political judgment?

Ukraine. Putin. Trump. Brexit. Manchester City. Parliamentary privilege. IS THIS A PRIME MINISTER WHO THINKS BEFORE HE SPEAKS — OR DOES HIS MOUTH KEEP GETTING HIM INTO TROUBLE?
