Since getting the keys to Number Ten on 20th July, Andy Burnham has promised change and has announced and implemented several policies in several sectors of everyday life. With his 100th day in office being Tuesday 27th October, we’ve been asking Leeds locals what they really think of his performance.

00:00In general, I think he's a breath of fresh air. Extremely more personable, more down to earth than secure, although
00:07I did like secure. But yeah, so far so good, I think.
00:11He's just settling in now, isn't he? So I think what I do like when he's talking about the housing
00:17crisis and homeless people, and he wants to make sure that every homeless people has somewhere to live. So I
00:24think that's really good.
00:25I made a video about him before he came in power. And I said, all you lot are going to
00:31get scraps from the government because we're on the same team, right? It's the same people backing these governments, right?
00:38He's a new prime minister. And to be honest, you just got to give the prime minister the time to
00:43work with everything because it's not very easy for someone to be stepping up in the line of duty, especially
00:48when you're leading the country yourself.
00:49So in 100 days, I mean, there's been a lot of setbacks, but I wouldn't say like he's doing the
00:56best, but it's trying to see what works and what doesn't and just trying his best to like literally find
01:04a solution because it's not easy when you're speaking in front of tens of billions of people.
01:07They're looking at getting rid of the sanding charges for the utility, the gas companies. So I quite like that.
01:15I think the other stuff that he's done, I know this sounds really selfish, but it doesn't really impact on
01:20me.
01:20And I think they've been really, really small changes. I am quite optimistic for what's going to come, but I
01:28hope I'm not wrong.
01:29I hope I'm wrong.
