The Labour Party needs Andy Burnham as an MP in Parliament, the country needs him, and the long-term health of democracy needs him. Fingers crossed, he overcomes those obstacles. 🤞
Unpopular Keir Starmer (with good reason), should accept popular opinion (I think that's called democracy), and make way for a true Labour politician. Andy Burnham fits the bill. I am not an exclusive Labour supporter although I am definitely well left of centre. My main concern is having someone in power; Labour, Lib-Dem or Green, who stands a chance of protecting us from Reform and the escalation of the far right. The UK is on very shaky ground right now, facing the danger of the populace sleep-walking into a potential autocratic, nazi-style regime. It will be too late when we see ICE-like melitia arresting innocent citizens, breaking into peoples' homes without a warrant and attacking and deporting innocent people. Don't think. "It Can't Happen Here". It most certainly could. We can not be complacent whilst Farage and his pals seem to be gathering ground. We see what's happening in America, and it's terrifying. We MUST stand up against the far right and make people aware of the danger of doing nothing. I am a 75 year old white British man and I desparately want the UK to stand up for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - that's HUMANITY.
My positive thoughts on Andy Burnham have been dampened by this @zarahsultanamp Instagram post. Thoughts?
Andy Burnham played a key role in privatising our NHS while serving as Health Secretary.
Andy Burnham voted for the 2003 Iraq War — an illegal invasion that led to the deaths of over a million Iraqis.
Andy Burnham was a member of Labour Friends of Israel, an apartheid state that has committed genocide against the Palestinian people.
Gorton and Denton deserves a genuinely socialist MP — one who doesn’t vote for illegal wars, stands in solidarity with Palestine and is proudly anti-Zionist.

But Andy has such big limpid eyes - like a baby seal's.
Fair point.
They’ll try to stop him because, for some reason that, to be honest, escapes me, they seem to all support useless Starmer.
Perhaps PM STARMER will be prepared to stand down in the circumstances of very low popularity.
Perhaps will be more than prepared to stand down
