DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Sir Keith's inaction making Andy Burnham look like Fidel.Not particularly a fan of Burnham but he genuinely looked upset and angry today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Burnham is sleekit as f**k, but I also think he is an underrated politician. His transformation from Blairite loyalist to darling of the Twitter Left has been rather impressive.

Hammer Jag Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The amount of pro-independence supporters fawning over Better Together Burnham on Twitter is nauseating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnham wouldn't be getting half the praise if it wasn't for the fact that Starmer is an absolute ham salad of a man.There's no doubt the way things have played out have helped him.Corbyn completely gazumped him when he was running for the leadership position, as he was probably favourite for the centre left support in that race. Since then, he's taken up a very good post, as he'll get a lot of local support, and things like this crisis give him the opportunity to look like a leader on the national stage.Add in the horribly robotic centre right starmer and it's came together nicely. He'll be in a great position to pick up if starmer fails.Playing the long game well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 "darling of the Twitter left" is a bit much. Half them will be back to calling him a slug or a melt in a fortnight when he duly abstains on the next psycho Tory bill that Starmer refuses to take a position on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Dross can run the line and kid on he's in charge of the Scottish Tories then why not? Rashford has a longer list of political achievements too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Burnham is a decent political operator (with the exception of his witless leadership campaigns) and it's absolutely obvious that he still wants to be Labour leader. I think people online are kidding themselves if they think a Burnham-led Labour Party would be significantly to the left of what Starmer is offering, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Didn't Burnham abstain on the Welfare Bill in 2015, which was the biggest political open goal of all time? Appreciate that he's standing up for his part of the world which is good, but lets not forget what he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents One of those characters where you start to question if Vince McMahon is actually a tremendous satirist.
