Car crash. Almost as bad as Matt goodwin. Expose these types at their hypocrisy. They crumble.

Regardless of what you think of Andy Burnham, or any of the other candidates you would have to be brain dead to vote for @RobKenyonReform

It was a car crash interview. Surely nobody other than your usual racists would ever think of voting for him. He’s thick as a brick.

He is the quintessential Twitter pub bore, who gives it large over a few pints but has no idea what he is actually saying. Too candidate 🥴
