The Totally Secure Prime Minister’s WhatsApp Group
Members Only, Issue 1678
PM's WhatsApp Group
Andy Burnham has joined the group.
Andy Burnham
Hi, guys! Just getting a feel of running the group. Thanks for all your messages of support and offers to work with me. You know who you are: Ed, Wes, Angela, Rachel, well... more or less everyone.
That’s disgraceful! What happened to loyalty?
Andy Burnham
Actually, Keir, YOU offered ME a top job in the Cabinet – and I said ‘yes’ to Prime Minister.
But you’ve got no clear policies, and you keep doing U-turns!
Andy Burnham
Then I’ll be perfect for your job.
Andy Burnham has been removed from the group for counting his chickens before his plot has hatched.
