Trump calls Andy Burnham 'extremely liberal'
Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Andy Burnham, the likely next Labour leader, calling him "extremely liberal" and suggesting he won't open up the North Sea for oil. Trump had previously advised outgoing Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to open up the North Sea, which he called the "oil city of Europe." Burnham, the mayor of Manchester, has criticised the US's "polarised, poisonous politics" and compared Trump's instability to Liz Truss's time as prime minister.
