Keir Starmer

Hee was between a rock and a hard place. If he'd let Burnham stand, it wouldn't be long before he was the ex leader of the Labour Party. Don't let him stand then get walloped, it wouldn't be long before he was the ex leader of the Labour Party.

Of course he had to let Burnham stand, the shithouse. If he had any confidence in himself, he’d have welcomed it.

Nothing to say Burnham would have won though. They would have done better, but won, we’ll never know.

FWIW I think Burnham would have won, but you’re right, opinions mean nothing now.

Two positives to take away from this:
1. Reform didn’t win
2. There is still another three years or so until the next GE.

It’s not too late for Labour, but the clock is ticking.

Starmer put himself before his party by not allowing Burnham to stand. Not a good look and potentially a fatal one for his leadership.

Labour MPs need to realise their actions now taken until then will decide the future way this Country goes.....a very serious position they are in, as people are struggling and had enough.

I care far less about Labour winning in 2029 than about Reform/Tories not winning. That’s the vital bit.

Ah. I didn’t know you could do that. The answer will be yes then. It would have had to have waited till the polls closed at 10pm

With a 2 year old toddler it's a godsend - I rarely make 10pm these days.
