I am delighted to have been appointed today as the new ________________.





_______________ is a subject dear to my heart and _________________ is the job I've always hoped for.



Well done Andy. Can we get rid of parking charges at A&E now please?

health secretary

The higher he climbs, the further he may fall...

Tosh. He's a made man.

Standing for the safest seat ( how can you stand for a seat ? ) as the Labour candidate for the the Independent State of Westleigh where a Pig with a red rosette and a Leigh East scarf is a nailed on cert for election

When so high up the cabinet, so many things may be out of his hands when scandal comes calling.

he was a big help getting us into SL,so I cant fault him.he really used his position and influence to push us forward and but for him we would still be in NL1,so vote Andy

He's only got the same distance to fall. The difference is he might attract more scrutiny, but he came through the expenses scandal relatively unscathed and handles himself very well , even when he does have a few rough encounters (eg the rub with Chakrabati, being heckled by 30,000 scousers).



I've little respect for politicians at the moment but Burnham comes across as being genuine and honest which is a rare asset at the moment and one which will become increasingly valued over the coming months.

Aren't we still in the equivalant league????

We still ARE in NL1... well championship or whatever they're deciding to call it at the moment.

nowt to do with winning the grand final then?

Whip round at the weekend for some bath robes for Andy anyone ?





Ponce , proper Leythers let it all hang out









Or his wife may divorce him

In a roundabout way, that was my point, though I do agree that he's behaved impeccably thus far.

I take it this is sarcastic!! Andy made his feelings clear to the RFL but as he has stated in letters to numerous fans of Leigh he cannot use his position to make the RFL do anything
