Don't worry he'll put a halt to any Scottish indy ref 2 when he's PM.
Who Andy Burnham, do you think he could be?
Probably do a better job than Starmer to be fair.
Time will tell with Starmer, I still think it's too early to tell and the country's far too fcked for many reasons to gauge it right now.
But Burnham is defo a future Labour leader in the making.
Might not happen mind, as politics is unpredictable but he'd get far more support from the off if he ever became leader imo.

Starmer is even weaker than Miliband and that takes some doing. He's a pathetic, gutless little **** who will never endeavour himself with the electorate.
I don't mind Burnham. The only issue I see with him is his inability to judge and manage situations but he's still relatively young and will get the gist of it. I'm talking about the time he was offered money during the lockdown (For Manchester) and he made such a song and dance about it that Manchester ended up with less than they were originally going to receive. He'd be better off toeing the line and not being outspoken.
He doesn't seem in the mold of Starmer, Corbyn, Rayner, Abbott, Lammy, Ashworth etc. That's a big plus in any sensible persons book and it is what the Labour party needs. I don't think he'd focus on all the woke issues that are losing Labour votes all over the country and he'd hopefully be able to bring most factions together. If it's possible. I personally think the Labour party are a spent force now.

No that's why he is in the Labour party, silly.If he is a pathetic gutless little ****, does that qualify him for a lifetime's membership of the Tory Party?
see this is an example of why i was so cynical about clap for the NHS heroes

i'll clap for the NHS when they show proper contrition and more importantly show they have learnt from scandal after scandal all of which have the same factors of ignoring warnings and then cover ups of what actually happened .I don’t understand. Are you saying that because the NHS is staffed by human beings, who are fallible, we shouldn’t applaud their efforts?
What about other essential workers who kept the country running while those who had the luxury, got paid to stay indoors? Is it right to applaud them? Or should we go back to ignoring the unseen army of hard working, often low paid men and women, who make our lives tolerable?
The clap for careers thing was about the individuals who were working all hours dealing with the COVID crisis, plain weird that you’ve chosen to conflate it with what was essentially a pharma issue decades ago.i'll clap for the NHS when they show proper contrition and more importantly show they have learnt from scandal after scandal all of which have the same factors of ignoring warnings and then cover ups of what actually happened .

the main thrust of clap for carers , certainly early on , was the NHS and i made the same point at the time ilisting all sorts of other scandals like mid staffs , mesh implants .The clap for careers thing was about the individuals who were working all hours dealing with the COVID crisis, plain weird that you’ve chosen to conflate it with what was essentially a pharma issue decades ago.
