Nigel Farage branded ‘hypocrite’ over Andy Burnham demand

Nigel Farage has been branded a “hypocrite” after demanding a General Election as Andy Burnham looks set to replace Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Speaking on GB News, Kevin Maguire, the Associate Editor of the Daily Mirror, took aim at the Reform UK leader. Earlier today, Mr Farage called for the British people to be given a vote, as the former Manchester Mayor has “no mandate whatsoever” to succeed Sir Keir. “I laughed when he said there should be a general election,” Mr Maguire began.“He's got four MPs, half his MPs, who've switched from the conservative electors elected.“There's a hypocrisy when he doesn't say we'll have by-elections when MPs flip parties, but you have to have a general election in a parliamentary system when you change leaders. “I think we should have a law that says you have an automatic general election, say six months after you change prime ministers, but we don't,” the Mirror editor said.WATCH THE FULL CLIP ABOVE Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
