I have family living in greater Manchester and they're convinced that Burnham would have won.
Partly because it was viewed as a stepping stone to removing Starmer.

So the thinking is that the formerly labour voting populace of Gorten and Denton would have voted for Burnham in the hope that he takes his seat and then fairly quickly unseats Starmer as leader and PM? That’s a stretch, frankly. And doesn’t take any account of internal Labour politics. I don’t doubt he’d have got more votes than Labour did yesterday because he’s extremely popular up there, far more popular than he is in the party at large, but I dont think he’d have won the seat. We’ll never know now.

It might have been the same result too because Labour have been a massive disappointment and Reform are a pack of cunts.
 
Totally irrelevant Uncle Fester.
I don’t mean any malice in saying this but Great Britain is falling apart and you’re lying by your pool.
And I don't mean any malice by saying this (apart from towards every Reform politician and the idiots who vote for them), I made my choice eight years ago and so far it's turned out pretty well. Although there were positive 'pulls' bringing me here, the negative pushes were the feckin deplorable cretins who voted for Brexit, the biggest act of national economic suicide in history, and the shitshow that the Tory party turned the country into over the course of thirteen years. It was obvious it was only going to get worse and worse.
