Andy Burnham fuels Keir Starmer challenge rumours as poll shows Labour support at lowest EVER
The latest sign of manoeuvres against Sir Keir came as a poll put Labour on its lowest ever support of just 16 per cent. The Find Out Now research found Reform was way ahead on 34 per cent backing - although the firm has consistently detected bigger advantages for Nigel Farage's party than other pollsters.
Mr Burnham has been the subject of frenzied interest amid the extraordinary meltdown at the heart of Downing Street.
Not so much 'frenzied' as a kind of dull resignation that someone has to replace Starmer but he or she isn't likely to be anyone significantly more capable because Labour doesn't have anyone significantly more capable but does have quite a few who could be significantly worse, implausible as that seems now.
No - not frenzied.
Competing for the booby prize. It's got to the point where tearing Labour down and starting again makes more sense. Although that nice Mr Blair (sarcasm) has already done that with New Labour - and it worked for a few years until the spell wore off.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity the broad is called Sultana rather than Banana. Who could resist a headline about a Banana split?
ReplyDeleteDJ - starting again may be what Labour has to do after the next election, but they need to attract better people than they seem capable of attracting. Political parties don't collapse easily though.
ReplyDeletedearieme - yes it is a pity, sultana only seems to with with the fruit and nut jibe if Corbyn is still in the mix.
Someone with filmmaking pretensions of a Hitchcockian nature might make a new film Frenzy. Straight to video?
ReplyDeleteJames - I don't think I've seen it for ages. Is it on YT? I'll check.
ReplyDeleteDoes not appear to be about.
DeleteHaving read of Burnham's proposed policies, perhaps we should dig up Stalin and give him the job? Life may be easier.

Penseivat - good idea, at least we'll know where we are.
