What, like Liz Truss & Rishi Sunak.
For goodness sake. Stop just deflecting attention away from the current leaders and their lies, by bringing up things from the past. The past is gone and can’t be changed. What we need NOW is honest leaders who will deal with the big problems in this country before it is too late. NOT just excuses about who did what in the past and how bad everyone else is.
 
Opposition parties will always call for a GE when there's a new pm, and when an MP crosses the floor the other parties will always call for a by-election. The party which benefits will always disagree. Nigel did say that he would hold a by-election if Reform benefitted from this, but when push came to shove he did what all the rest do. However Burnham is on record as calling for a GE when Liz Truss came in, so can't just bat it away.
If he calls a GE as soon as he is crowned I’ll applaud Burnham. That would be the correct thing to do. And actually I think he’d have more chance to win it than he will in 2/3 years time when the country has gone further down the toilet under a Labour Government. Let’s see if he does the right thing or what is best for him personally.

Gordon Brown chickened out when he had his honeymoon period, but the electorate did not forget. Burnham may have learned from this. Or not, as the case may be.
