Andy #Burnham will be the 19th UK Prime Minister since 1940, & the 1st #Cambridge grad of the 19.
Since 1940, 14 of 18 PMs went to Oxford, 1 (Brown) to Edinburgh. 3 (Churchill, Callaghan, & Major), didn’t do university.
In all, Cambridge has produced 14 PMs against Oxford’s 31. But for 85 years, Oxford has dominated.
#Andy brands himself as a northerner. But in Westminster & Whitehall, the #Cantab label will be much more defining.
#Oxbridge still rules. 🤮

Wenn man angegriffen und gedemütigt wird auf dem Pausenplatz, dann sieht man, wer seine Freund:innen sind, und wer lieber wegsieht, froh, dass er selbst nicht drankgekommen ist, oder wer sogar Schadenfreude empfindet.Häme in Bild, Spiegel und der ARD, dröhnendes Schweigen im Fediversum.
Danke an #TheSpectator und die #BBC für ihr Mitgefühl.Tja. 😔
