      It still somewhat surprises me he was a human rights lawyer.

      That being said, I am convinced he represented the oppressors.

    What a spineless piece of shit, and that was obvious even before Labour won. Way back in 2023 he was constantly flip flopping between transphobia and criticising Rishi Sunak for making transphobic jokes after Brianna Ghey got murdered.

    Burnham isn’t going to be any better. Says a lot about modern day Labour that fucking Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham is the best they could come up with.

          Larry has been in office for 15 years, with proper care he can easily outlive 10 more prime ministers and a king.

      Burnham isn’t more conservative but he isn’t really any more progressive either. I expect the differences in policy will be imperceptible.

        He will somehow be cooler and more cringe than Starmer. That’s impressive I guess.

        His rhetoric will be softer. He won’t be as vile to hear or watch. His policy will be functionally identical. The exact same people pull his strings.
