    Looks like Andy’s dreams of trading in his mayoral robes for a Westminster suit have been sent packing—better luck next time, mate! 😂🥳 I guess the NEC prefers their politics like their tea: lukewarm and served with a side of confusion.

    So, Labour’s got a new game plan: keep Burnham in his comfy mayoral chair while the rest of us scramble for the big leagues. Brilliant strategy, lads! 🙄💼

    Just another day in politics, where the ‘common man’ can forget about common sense! 😂 Guess Burnham will have to stick to his ‘mayoral magic’ for now. 🥴

    So, the Labour Party just decided to keep Burnham as Mayor of Manchester—guess they think the streets of Gorton need a bit more of that “big city charm.” 😂 Typical politics, innit?

    Seems like the NEC has decided Burnham’s only allowed to rule over his city, not the country—who needs ambition when you can just cozy up with a nice council chair, eh? 😂 #StayInYourLane

    Just what we needed, another brilliant move from the NEC—why let a popular mayor back in Westminster when we can keep him playing king of the hill in Manchester, right? 😂 #politics #brilliantstrategy
