Lisa Nandy: Prime Minister

Wigan's MP might one day become Prime Minister

Awaiting the usual yapping to start.

Please start taking your medicine again you know what you are like once your off your MEDS ???
G.B.

I suppose Andy Burnham may stand in the Leigh constituency, Jo Platt being moved elsewhere, and he could become Prime Minister, with Lisa Nandy as Chancellor of the Exchequer or vice versa

I thought Todgers head exploded a long time ago but if she does become PM I might be in for a surprise

Doo yoo like surprises

Given that Tony Blair will be using his proxy Peter Mandelson to pull the strings of a new Labour government Lisa Nandy will be a non starter.

This is from an exchange on Andrew Neil’s Daily Politics some time ago.

That’s palpable rubbish; I have never heard anything so ridiculous”

Lord Mandelson on Lisa Nandy comments about New Labour accepting Thatcherite economic Conservativism

Burnham . Don't want in the job ,he is a waste of time,

Well, as an MP for a 'Northern' constituency, she is hardly able to endorse sir Keith Joseph's assertion that investment should be withheld from the North and a process of managed decline be pursued.

PS The Cabinet Office Record was ALTERED to avoid disclosure of this, at least as it pertained to Merseyside. This was disclosed in the 2011 release of previously classified material under the Thirty Years review. (Fortunately for Merseyside, Michael Heseltine, and not Keith Joseph got his way.

I do wonder if managed decline was the 'elephant in the room' and now we face the consequences of levelling up which eludes any attempts to achieve.

So Lisa Nandy peed off, Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair, so it doesn't look like she will become Prime Minster

It was Geoffrey Howe who proposed the managed decline of Liverpool on the basis that 10% of the population had departed in the previous 10 years and was still falling.
Michael Heseltine was a good choice to send to Liverpool. As a property man he could see that the state of the old dock buildings and generally dirty area along the river would preclude the private investment needed to rebuild Liverpool.
I was working in Liverpool when Michael Heseltine came along. There’s no doubt in those days labour relations were a turn off for potential investors.

I remember in the late 1960s and early 1970s that the multitude of Liverpool folk who came to Wigan and Ashton, were scousers who wanted to work and buy their own houses, because most scousers were on strike all the time and actually made a living from stealing things.

"At the end of 2011, the release of confidential documents under the UK Government's 30-year rule revealed Joseph's thoughts regarding the Liverpool riots. In response to Michael Heseltine's regeneration proposal, Joseph suggested that there should be a "managed rundown" of Merseyside instead. Later, his private secretary asked for minutes of a meeting to be amended to remove reference to explicit economic regeneration......."

I think I have told the tale before about when I took some German blokes to Liverpool Airport, and on the way there, one of them wanted me to stop outside of the Jaguar Factory in Speke, so that he could take a picture of it, because he owned a Jag, and wanted a picture of where it was built, and he had the address as being in Speke, and whilst he was taking the picture, his highly amused colleagues brought up the question about Fords of Halewood, and the notorious reputation it had for bad industrial relations, there always being strikes at the plant, and one of them asked me if the Halewood factory was nearby, so he was quite shocked when I said "that's it" pointing at the factory.

Had a job interview in Liverpool in 1960's.

Was offered the post, and sent across town to get my photo ID made up at photographer which the company used.

En route, came to the conclusion that, I can't come here to work every day: it is just too depressing.

So bailed out and hopped the train back to Bryn instead.

TTS, "proper" Jaguars have never been made in Halewood. You should've told the Jerry that!

AND, were they actually really just a Ford Mondeo underneath

No.

Lisa Nandy: Prime Minister.

If it happens, we can only hope she does more for country than what she has ever done for Wigan!

Why ?

What as she never done for Wigan, and what could she have done for Wigan ?

i think lisa would make a very good prime minister .

She will attempt to reverse brexit!

good.

Nandy as PM would lead to a further inrush of immigrants, plus much money spent on housing, healthcare and education specifically for them!

oh lisa

Imposed on the constiuency by the Labour Party Central Office with local constiuency members having no say in the selection process.

It's what party leaderships call democracy!

Lisa Nandy has voiced her support for 'trans women' who are sent to prison should be allowed to go to a women's prison, so rapists can have a field day when they are banged up. The world has gone mad.

Tony Bliar, labour party,weapons of mass destruction.enough said.muti,multi,millionaire.,

And what about Labour Party doners like Robert Maxwell and Bernie Eccleston?

No hardship there, just fraud!

Gideonfel I spent time working in a women's prison trust me it's the rapists who would be in danger

Hopefully The Now Wigan MP will be ousted by an Independent

And what difference will it make? Absolutely none at all !

It'll make a huge difference.

In what way?

Lisa will be out of a job.
That'll be a huge difference for her.

She'll aft' go back on t'doors!

Let's all be honest ,she couldn,t do as bad as the last 3 Tory spice who have run the country into the ground now before the usual suspects start calling her somebody tell me what the last 3 pls have improved ,13 years of total rubbish

Wigan council runs out of money and goes in debt .I'm afraid your council tax is going up piss up in a brewery comes to mind

I don't think Wigan's Council's finances are in too bad a shape.
