Labour is quite unpopular these days. So this doesn’t make much sense. After all, Labour currently has a huge majority in Parliament. And the next general election doesn’t have to be held before August of 2029.
So why risk it now?

Burnham has to win his by-election seat 1st, and that’s not a done deal
“Maybe Burnham is thinking that Reform and Restore will split the opposition vote, and let Labour sneak through yet again.”
I believe I read that he believes he can form a coalition government with Labour and the Greens. He may feel that if he waits, it will be harder to do.
This is about Makerfield...
Maybe a wartime unity government with the Conservatives like they had in WW2. Of course, this time the war will be against the British people.
