Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said if Andy Burnham becomes prime minister next month “he’ll do so with no mandate whatsoever” and the public “deserve a vote”.

Mr Farage said Sir Keir Starmer “left yesterday with no dignity at all”, adding “I found he became petulant, aggressive, rude, insulting”.

Discussing Mr Burnham, the Reform UK leader told GB News: “Politicians have to take positions.

“We, at the moment, have almost no idea where this man stands on anything, he’s flipped and flopped in the last month more than Keir Starmer has in the last two years.”

Mr Farage added: “I’m hoping that Al Carns, or someone like that stands against him, so that over the course of a summer we can actually see what he stands for. At the moment, we haven’t got a clue.

“If he does become prime minister on July 17th, he’ll do so with no mandate whatsoever.

“I think the public are sick to death of the game of musical chairs that’s going on in Downing Street and deserve a vote.”

The Reform UK leader added that his party “can be ready very, very quickly” for a general election.
