In terms of something Burnham could do that would be immediate, popular and visible ...
deal with Trump properly. If nothing else, force Farage and his elk into some uncomfortable positions.
It's a zero jeopardy strategy, because we now know that there is no "right" side of Trump.

Bless Starmer, he tried to invest. But the bank went bust.
Much cooler in Brum today. Overcast too.
