Sadly it's how our antiquated system works. Yes, the people who voted Labour were voting for the sensible, capable Starmer as depicted back then. But in fact they voted for a nobody local MP, who are all now conspiring to replace him with someone else. If, in some conspiratorial imaginary...

I've no idea what you're trying to prove or disprove. It's pretty rare for any winner to get over 50%, which by your argument appears to be when you think it's a valid outcome. By that logic we'd never have a government of any party.

What's the problem with the photo anyway?

So... Place your bets... Coronation of Burnham or a leadership election? I'm betting that sweet little boy Wesley will recognise he's got no chance, Burnham will give him an unimportant cabinet job to shut him up, nobody else will challenge and that will be it. King Andy could be on his throne...

He's a talentless waffler with a load of attitude and no principles or vision. Just another Starmer. He's been in Manchester at what turned out to be a good period in time for the place. It was also doing well before he arrived, should he take credit for this too? It's just not possible for...

Love how the Labour Luvvies think that saying the Tories are worse somehow makes Labour OK?!? All based on the totally brainless concept that everyone has to take one side or the other. Yeah, they're both terrible. No idea which takes the crown as worst, anyone with any sense doesn't care.

Does anyone actually think this is the beginning of a resurgence for Labour? I'm interested, tell us if you think this is the dawn of an exciting new era for us all. It looks to me like when Homer Simpson bounced off a rock halfway down while falling off the cliff.

Some very selective headlines there, nothing critical of Labour (beyond Starmer) and a few "far right" mentions. Part of Team Andy it would appear.

Is she real or an AI avatar?

The list of her headlines is like a lefty propaganda leaflet... https://muckrack.com/anna-gross-1/articles She must be lining herself up for a job at the Guardian, although the FT where she already writes seems to have sadly headed down the same plughole in recent years.

Makerfield hasn't experienced much multiculturalism, it's as white as a Persil advert, so there are none of the newly ecological types to vote for them. In fact it's the perfect place for a preachy middle-class socialist like Burnham to live. They all talk the talk, tell everyone else it's...

You should have more respect for your future President and saviour of our nation.

Andy won't do anything. He has no vision, no answers and hasn't promised anything specific. He's more like some sort of weird cult than a politician, he didn't even mention the word Labour, it's going to be the Andy Party. He's very motivated about immigration... he wants to ensure that they...

Clearly a political campaigner, and was obviously using her faux offence to influence the vote. I couldn't really concentrate on what she was saying though, I was mostly staring at her cheeks.

Was any of this word-salad intended to mean anything? AI Waffle-O-Matic?

That'll be a good few leased shiny new government funded cars off the roads then. Good. Obviously there will be cuts, and Reform aren't daft. Of course they're not going to hand the loony lefties ammunition by saying what they'll cut. We'll have the Beeb wheeling out people in wheelchairs...

Whatever... the fact is that the Bond Markets have definitely not breathed a sigh of relief since Burnham got himself on the road to being the PM. We'll see what happens as he advances towards No.10. It's difficult to predict, as him getting into power does at least remove Rachel from the...

The population in Makerfield hasn't been culturally enriched by immigration very much (yet). So they aren't yet seeing the effects of open-border policies. But they didn't vote for Labour or Andy Burnham anyway, they voted to get rid of Starmer. They couldn't get rid of the Labour govt for a...

Five of them, in some kind of gross rota, according to her bragging.

Reform did well, up 2.7% from a very successful 2024 result, even despite Restore's impact. Burnham won solely because everyone hates Starmer and would vote for absolutely anyone who was in a position to oust him, even Burnham. If Reform had won then we'd have kept Starmer. So in a weird way...
