I was thinking the same . Is that just ceremonial 

[Futtocks]

Didn't see that coming. I wonder what he can bring to the game.

I like Burnham and he always is a good supporter if the game. Not sure exactly what the role entails but having him involved in the game is a good thing.

A parachute payment then a Leyther at the top? ???

 

Good appointment. True fan of the game. Good to see him involved

[DoubleD]

Who's he replaced? Was it Maurice Watkins?

I agree it is a good appointment, if he can utilise his influence anywhere

Some of the Tories on here are going to explode.

Why? Is Burnham taller than Mrs May?

[DavidM]

Well she’s just a prime minister so he’s like on a level with trump as a president . He’ll now be able to meet him on the state visit

Its a ceremonial position.

An Air Commodore is a senior rank in the RAF (a Brigadier is the Army equivalent) but still a long way off a head of organisation rank. Burnham is a massive step up profile wise even if the position is ceremonial.

[Tattersfieldtreiziste]

You're asking the wrong question. The real question is what can this post do for Mr Burnham's public profile and career?

Made the talksport news anyway as well as the sport news.

With Mark Croston as Vice President it certainly looks so. Or Wigab as its described in the article

He's obviously the one who organised Leigh's parachute payment.

There are no Tories on here. Haven't you read the Ts & Cs?
