What a confluence of anniversaries it is, but I'll come to them in a minute. Andy Burnham becomes the seventh British prime minister in 10 years. Once upon a time, that was the Italian job. The revolving door of Italian premierships made the country a laughing stock, but they had fewer every year than we do. Seven in 10 years, and of course, unelected, as has become the traditional British way. As traditional as a bowler hat, you might say. He has organized a coup to remove the elected prime minister, only to promise exactly the same policies as the prime minister that he has replaced. What was the point of that coup, Andy, if the first person you called was Donald J. Trump, who only five years ago you said on Twitter yourself, anyone with any time for Donald Trump is looking like a chump this day. Well, you were right then, and you're wrong now. But what was that first phone call of your premiership about? It was to promise Donald Trump the right to fly defensive strikes of American bombers from English airfields. What a defensive strike, by the way. Civilian infrastructure gets the kind that were posi, identi, as right at the mcdonald end of the Second World War. Those bombers are nuclear capable, and it may very well be that this Pickaxe Mountain becomes the site of the first nuclear attack since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it will have turned out that it was launched from an English airfield under the Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Well, he will burn them, but the Iranians will burn them back. The Iranians will burn everybody back, and Andy Burnham may be the last of our Prime Ministers, because Great Britain may no longer exist. It's as serious as that, because the second call that Andy Burnham made. Now, first one to Donald Trump, the second call that Andy Burnham made was to Volodymyr Zelensky, who, as far as I know, he's never met, but who described the plight of the beleaguered dictator in Kiev as something deeply personal? Well, I've been looking back to see how deeply personally involved Andy Burnham has been in support of Zelensky over the last four years, and virtually nothing could I find. Andy Burnham doesn't know who he is. He certainly has. He was not drowning in his cups at the fall of Constantinovka.
He has no idea that there is a nuclear plant at Zaporizhzhya, which is always in danger of becoming a nuclear bomb itself, making Chernobyl, maybe he's never heard of Chernobyl either, making Chernobyl child's play by comparison. Andy Burnham knows nothing about foreign affairs. That's why in 2015, now I've known him for 25 years, in 2015, he declared himself to be a member of the Labour Friends of Israel. He hadn't thought it worth becoming in the first 15 years that he was hanging around the British House of Commons while I was there. But in 2015, he joined the Labour Friends of Israel. Because he was about to run to become leader of the Labour Party. He's finally made it third time lucky. How's that for opportunism? He discovered he was a friend of Israel just before he launched his leadership campaign.
It was bad timing though, because the winner was somebody called Jeremy Corbyn who ran a pro-Palestine ticket in the wake of the atrocities of the 2014 war on Gaza when everyone was swinging towards Palestine and he knew that it was in his best interests in the long term to join the Labour friends of Israel. And infamously, during that leadership election campaign, he declared that if elected leader of the Labour Party, the first foreign visit that he would make would be to Israel. So, Andy is not really a man of the world. Well, fair play, if that means he's going to concentrate on the home front, nobody will be happier than me and my party, the Workers' Party of Britain. We do what it says on the tin, which is the best for the working people of our own country, which doesn't include handing over billions, hand over fist to the little crook of Kiev, the little thief of Kiev, whose country was a byward for corruption before he even became the president. When he was still a ballet dancer playing the piano, with his penis, with some difficulty, I understand. The little thief of Kiev can look forward to exactly the same largesse from the British taxpayer, says Andy Burnham, in which case, how are we going to pay for the cost of living crisis that Andy Burnham has promised to get to grips with? How are we going to pay for the re-industrialization of our de-industrialized country? How are we going to pay for an increase in the personal tax allowance? Oh no, that was yesterday, Burnham said. He was going to raise the personal individual tax allowance. Today, he's told Politico that actually, after all, what he said yesterday is no longer valid. He won't be doing it. But how is he going to pay for the crisis in social care in my country, the crisis in the National Health Service, the crisis in the living standards of the working class? How? When he's giving money to Zelensky. Well, the answer to that is that Zelensky will get his money and the rest of the people of Britain will get NOAT. Well, not quite NOAT. His first announcement was that he was going to cut the VAT on domestic energy costs. Great, I thought. Exactly what's needed in the middle of a heat wave. Exactly what's needed. When you took your party, your government, took the winter fuel allowance from Britain's old age pensioners as a first act of Keir Starmer's premiership, who the next day gave precisely the same amount of money saved by the former to Zelensky.
