    A bit of a wish list;
    Burnham wins in Makerfield ( easier said than done)
    Starmer agrees to step down, but is found a real role within Labour.
    Leadership contest - Burnham wins.
    All in time for the next Labour Party conference.
    Smooth transition, no mud slinging, back to business.

  2. The #Makerfield constituency looks like a perfect gift to #AndyBurnham:

    1/ in Greater Manchester
    2/ next door to his former Leigh constituency
    3/ in a borough where Reform did v badly in this years local elections
    4/ a seat where Labour held up well in 2024, despite a parachuted-in candidate

    I still don't understand why #JoshSimons is helping #Burnham. But his gift looks very helpful.

  7. RE: halo.nu/@theguardian_world_new

    lol, let the games begin.
    If Burnham is smart, he'll have done a deal with the Greens for them not to stand with the idea of co-operation later.

    If....

    Well. With all this pointless faffing around that Streeting and Rayner seem to be set on, it looks like Burnham may get the chance to challenge for the leadership after all.

  10. All this #Burnham chat assumes both that #Starmer will go quietly and that Burnham can win a #Labour seat in the current climate. Neither strikes me as self-evident.

    Also, isn't the whole media coronation thing part of the reason Lab are in this mess?

    In other news, Anas Sarwar is clinging to his role in order to (checks notes) keep the party together. Just one more YouTube ad, and a little more #transphobia and he'll have cracked it.

    Oh my.

  15. β€œIs There a 'Green Ceiling'?”

    β€œThe Greens face a potential ceiling to their support, if they are perceived as polarising or even as β€˜rabblerousers’ rather than offering bold leadership that unites Britain around a response to its real challenges – inequality, the cost-of-living and insecurity, including from environmental breakdown. This concern about a ceiling is now a real and present risk: The election campaign that just concluded showed clearly that the Greens are definitely at risk of being perceived as unsafe controversialists”
