The United Kingdom is set to see its seventh prime minister in the past ten years, and it appears that man will be Andy Burnham, a veteran Labour Party Westminster insider who has sought to cast himself as a “socialist” working-class hero.
Andy Burnham will return to the House of Commons on Monday after having spent the past ten years outside of the London political bubble as Mayor of Greater Manchester. Previously serving as the MP for Leigh from 2001 until 2017, his return was orchestrated over the past year as it became clear that outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was unable to inspire public confidence.
Starmer successfully blocked Burnham’s first bid to return to parliament — a necessity for him to launch a leadership challenge — at the Gorton and Denton parliamentary by-election in January. However, the PM was unwilling or perhaps unable to block his candidacy a second time after anti-Breitbart censorship activist Josh Simons vacated his seat in Makerfield following last month’s local elections that saw Labour lose major ground in once safe territory to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.
Last week may have sealed Starmer’s fate, as Burnham, bolstered by his local popularity after a decade serving as Mayor in conjunction with voters strategically backing his campaign with the ultimate aim of ousting Starmer, won a convincing victory over Reform. This apparently convinced the Labour top brass that Burnham was the party’s best shot at retaining power and preventing Farage from taking over Downing Street.

Same as the old Boss.................
So socialists and globalists will push yet another puppet to the fore, to sell the same policies of statism, islamism, wokeism and failure to the hapless British public,
Or WORSE than the old Boss 😏
Oh goody, more socielsists/communists.
Rachel Maddow’s twin?
Great Britain has stalled the plane and is in a full spin. And the new Labor Party leader will insist on keeping the control stick full back because he knows that that’ll always make the plane level off.
Same as the old Boss.................
SS Different Democrat............
My read? Starmer was becoming a lightning rod given Belfast, and other things roiling the ‘unwashed masses’. Burnham is the tried and true rebranding, like relabeling a D-Con package so it says Fruit Loops without any change to the contents.
With so much history available, including within recent decades, it is inexcusable for any adult to embrace socialism as a viable form of government.
Where has it ‘worked’ should be the first question. The second question should be, what was the resulting cost on freedom, finance, sovereignty, and society?
“NEW & IMPROVED!”...”Now with more FREE STUFF!”..............
Special relationship huh? This person is going to do right in regards to free speech and deporting illegals? Can you have a no confidence vote before the wanker is even installed?
JUST SAY NO!!!!!! but it’s the party that will pick the leader NOT THE VOTERS
Socialism is a cancer that feeds off of envy, laziness, and narcissism - all to different extents depending on where in the ‘supposedly non-existent’ hierarchy you are.
Smarmy POS. Definitely not an upgrade.
Can’t they get a Socialist MUSLIM and call it all over?
The Labour Party has always been socialist, at least be their own lights.
