Unfortunate enough to suffer from the conditions of being both British and having Asperger's. I despise felon presidents and their enablers. I politically lean left and I am also Pro-EU. My pronouns are He/Him.

A lot of people blaming Burnham for Labour’s current mess. Shock, horror, a politician is personally ambitious. Very.
But (and it’s a big but), the fault really lies with Starmer. He’s created this situation by choosing a path most natural Labour supporters hate, sunk in the polls.
It’s on him.

This is so indicative of how Labour prioritise internal struggles over all else. Whatever the merits of Burnham running, if Labour now lose the by-election this decision will backfire. They might think they can live with Reform taking the seat but that is reckless thinking. I'll laugh if Greens win.
