Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage predicts Labour MP Andy Burnham will be the “most left-wing prime minister for 80 years” if elected.

“This is going to be the most left-wing prime minister for 80 years,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“It’ll be Starmer but even worse.

“Burnham comes in, as I say, treated yesterday in the House of Commons by Labour MPs like the messiah. The reality is going to be different.

“The honeymoon I predict will be very short-lived.”
