Nation collapses in shock as Andy Burnham reveals true desire to become Prime Minister

Thousands of people across the UK have fainted today after Andy Burnham revealed his true desire to become Prime Minister.

Being pressed about his ambitions on Question Time, Burnham admitted he would seek to run in a Labour leadership contest, causing mass hysteria across the nation.

“I had no idea he wanted to be Prime Minister,” said local man Simon Williams, still recovering from Burnham’s comments.

“I thought he wanted to become an MP so he could serve his local community. He really should’ve made his intentions clear before running in Makerfield. Was this a well-known thing that he wants to be Prime Minister? You could’ve fooled me. 

“Everyone in the house instantly fainted when Burnham said he’d seek to run in a leadership contest. When we eventually regained consciousness, we all looked at each other and fainted three more times. That’s how much of a shock it came to us. We just couldn’t wrap our heads around the fact that this whole time he just wanted to get into Number 10. 

“You think you know a person. Honestly, this is one of the most surprising things I’ve ever heard in my life. Next you’ll be telling me Nigel Farage’s £5 million wasn’t actually for security. Wait, it wasn’t?!

“Hang on, I’m feeling light-headed again.”
