'Who cares what Trump thinks about Miliband?' - LBC caller tells Aasmah Mir
Caller Patrick calls on Andy Burnham to ignore the President's objections to Ed Miliband and focus on 'what makes Britain Great.'
An LBC caller has said it is time to start thinking about what makes Britain great, rather than what makes Donald Trump happy, as Andy Burnham takes office.

Caller Patrick told Aasmah Mir, covering for Shelagh Fogarty this week, that the new PM should ignore the president's objections to Ed Miliband.
It comes after Stephen Moore, who advised Trump's presidential campaign on economic policy, told LBC there was growing concern in the United States over the direction of Britain's new government.
"Trump and most Americans are disappointed. You have nine or ten failed prime ministers in a row, and it looks like Burnham is just repeating the mistakes," he said.
"One of the things I found especially disturbing is that instead of embracing the policies that worked under Margaret Thatcher, he actually said we have to move away from Thatcher policies."
But Patrick has said that the UK must stand its ground. See the full video above.
