Aibu to think Andy Burnham would be a brilliant choice for Labour leader? Competent, passionate, unifying, relatable

(and also rather attractive 🤭😜)

Thornberry, Emily - Labour missed a beat on this one their last election - you need a 'bullish' character with some life experience and she fits the bill. I might vote for Labour if she fronted the Show.

@Tealightsandd I totally get it. I worry we are being pitched against one another for sport and that pisses me off.

I think you're right @LWOTT

Thanks for the link Dana
Burnham burning through the taxpayer's money, it seems.

I live in Greater Manchester and he is massively popular here, as the percentage of the vote shows.

He's sounds a right greedy sod.

Burnham has stood before and lost out for leader, but he wasn't really the right candidate at the time.

He's the ideal opponent to Boris Johnson though. Boris's populism and man-of-the-people rhetoric wouldn't work against Burnham, particularly with northern voters.

Starmer is Boris's ideal opponent. A knight of the realm, a lawyer QC, no charisma, from the London bubble, Remainer who tried to stop Brexit. Pretty much ticks every box he could wish for. Boris has been very lucky by his opponents so far (similar in London up against Livingstone for Mayor).

Yeah the London bubble that Keir is from...that would be imaginary one, I assume. Seeing as he's not from London...
Or do you mean, where he currently lives? The bubble of very serious knife and gun crime? He's definitely surrounded by teenagers killing teenagers, in his part of London.
