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.
Starmer stood for Labour leadership on a considerably lefter platform than the vague stuff Burnham’s been saying. Burnham as PM isn’t going to change Labour’s current policies. He might be better at campaigning. When people realise that nothing’s going to change, helped by the rightwing press, they’ll turn on him too.
