  1. “Zöe Bread shows us that ‘Manchesterism’ is neoliberalism”

    “Zoë Bread’s investigation into property development company Renaker and its boss’ links with Burnham is a stellar case in point. Bread picks apart the housing reality beneath Burnham’s mayoral tenure.

    Those investigations repeatedly surfaced the façade of ‘Burnhamism’, ‘Manchesterism’ or whatever you call ‘it’. This is familiar territory for Zöe Bread, and important now — for us all”

  6. Meanwhile #Burnham reckons he needs an extra day to respond to the #Blair missive. Has he got the political swiftness of foot of #Starmer (ie. A delayed inelegant plod).

    The ming vase strategy to Downing Street is going to quickly look a bit obvious…it’s understandable, but not appealing to current electorate.

  7. #CultOfPersonality, much? 🤮

    #AndyBurnham's posters carry not the slightest hint of a goal, policy, principle, or value. They are 100% personal.

    The slogan is very clever, and very catching. It will probably be very effective. But it is all about personality, to try to make #Burnham a peg on which to hang whatever goals or values you bring to your vote, without the candidate committing to anything. 😡

    If you want real politics, vote against this vapidity. It's a trap

  17. @Natasha_Jay @wendinoakland How I wish #Gpew had the nerve to take on both #Burnham and #Reform, and had adequate internal processes. Dear oh dear.

    Of course, Burnham may have promised PR to GPEW if they gave him afree ride, just as he may be tactically lying to the hacks for the same purpose. Neither would be reassuring, even iftrue. But, alas incompetence and lack of principles are Occam's razor.

  22. The knives are out!

    #Starmer is going to #Makerfield to canvass for #Burnham. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cze2j7

    That should knock a few thousand votes off Andy's tally.

    It's savage. And to add to the cruelty, Burnham will have to join Starmer on the canvass. He will have to stand beside Starmsr, smiling at the cameras. And #ReformUK will make hay with the pics.

    It would kinder to just kill Burnham slowly and painfully. But the so-called #LabourParty don't do kindness no more.

  27. I feel like Andy #Burnham is a centrist politician at best, but is someone who the #Labour Party believe looks left-leaning enough to make the party seem like it's actually still worth voting for whilst they continue their corporate-friendly politics that #Reform are beating them at.
