Starmer is not exactly Mr. Popular now, and while I don’t necessarily think that ‘call me Andy’ Burnham’s stated policies will add up, he is more popular than Starmer and a better ‘political operator’.
Are you suggesting that Reform supporters, switched to voting Labour just to get someone into Parliament who will oust the current PM?
Surely then it would be better for Reform supporters to have, well, voted Reform, keep Burnham out and ‘lame-duck’ Starmer in place.
Or am I missing some cunning plan here?
