Andy Burnham has won a huge victory for Labour in the Makerfield byelection, opening up the path for him to challenge Keir Starmer for the party leadership and to become the UK’s next prime minister.
I live in a place where, realistically, the next MP is going to be Labour or Reform. I’m a member of the Green Party, but I’d vote Labour if Burnham was leading it. I wouldn’t at the moment.
Burnham will dance to the same Labour Together and Labour Friends of Israel tune, just like Starmer and Streeting. The person who stepped down for him was a parachuted Labour Together think tank leader, and Burnham has refused to call the genocide in Palestine a genocide. He has committed to the bizarre liberal “fiscal rules”, he has committed to Shabana Mahmood’s home office policies.
He will be the same shit with a slightly different fragrance.
I meant the general population, really.

That’s a fair and sensible position.
