It's the way he tells 'em

  

Andy Burnham opens door to Commons return and will seek to stand in by-election

In his letter to the NEC, which he shared on social media, Mr Burnham said the decision had been "difficult" but insisted he would support the work of the government "not undermine it" and that he had "passed on this assurance to the Prime Minister".


So Andy Burnham will "not undermine" the government and has "passed on this assurance to the Prime Minister". 

Strewth that's a grim joke, but it's the way he tells 'em.

 

His robust pride prevented him from experiencing any discouragement, but he was always irritated, and in that state of exaltation, at the same time factitious and natural, which is characteristic of comedians.
