That\u2019s because like Starmer, Burnham is pursuing a policy that will inevitably lead to war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>He must know this yet he continues to arm Ukraine with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/live\/cxly5nv8j2zyt\">long-range weapons that can reach deep inside Russia<\/a>. At the same time, like his predecessor, Burnham is also allowing USAF warplanes to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=329252\"> use UK airbases for strikes on Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Both policies put the UK on the path to direct confrontation with Russia and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>So why has Burnham and before him Starmer put the UK on a course that will ultimately lead to war? Why, moreover, was this done without consulting the British public?<\/p>\n<p>The answer, obviously, is because the British public don\u2019t want war. So they weren&#8217;t asked and that sums up the whole western democratic process: it is a sham that creates the illusion of \u2018choice\u2019 among voters.<\/p>\n<p>However, the real governing powers DO want war, largely, as a means to reduce the number of what they see as useless eaters.<\/p>\n<p>To this end they have manoeuvred their selected \u2018leaders&#8217; into positions of power to do their bidding. In the UK neither Burnham nor Starmer were voted into office through a general election. They both took up residence in Downing Street through a process of internal party procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is it a coincidence that French President Macron and Germany\u2019s Friedrich Merz are also committed to a similar path in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The REAL ruling powers have instructed their lackeys in European governments to pursue a path that will ultimately lead to war with Russia. And Burnham, Merz and Macron\u2019s positions entirely depend on them doing as they are told.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that did surprise me about the transition of power from Starmer was that it didn\u2019t happen sooner. There was deep dissatisfaction in the UK with Starmer\u2019s premiership and word was spreading about his liaisons with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=309250\">Ukrainian rent boys<\/a> (male homosexual prostitutes)..<\/p>\n<p>Had that been more widely known it should have ended Starmer\u2019s premiership but as Candace Owens has pointed out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=317837\">sexual deviants are placed into positions of power<\/a> because they can be more easily controlled. Starmer was simply another example of this principle at work.<\/p>\n<p>None of this was in the mainstream media though, which obligingly ignored all reports about the prime minister&#8217;s history with Ukrainian rent boys. However, word about Starmer was spreading online and via social media so it was only a matter of time before his political shelf life expired.<\/p>\n<p>So safe and reliable Andy Burnham was brought in and now that he\u2019s in office he is carrying on EXACTLY where Starmer left off.<\/p>\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/08\/24\/new-uk-pm-andy-burnham-to-visit-kyiv-on-first-foreign-trip-reaffirms-support-to-ukraine\">first overseas trip as prime minister was to Ukraine<\/a> where he reaffirmed UK support with a promise that it would help Kiev with the domestic production of long-range missiles capable of reaching deep inside Russia.<\/p>\n<p>In this Andy Burnham is simply continuing what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cd9kle5x10zo\">Keir Starmer started<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of the old song: \u201cMeet the new boss, same as the old boss&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Burnham has also had conspicuously little to say about the migrant crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Even though many would regard it as the main problem facing the country, Burnham seems content to carry on where Starmer left off. So Britain&#8217;s new prime minister has announced no new measures to deal with a problem that threatens the nation&#8217;s social fabric.<\/p>\n<p>This is EXACTLY what French President Macron and Germany\u2019s Friedrich Merz have done to deal with the migrant crisis in their respective countries: next to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Why do they all appear to be following the same game plan? We can only assume that is because they are being told what to do by the same masters.
