Interesting . So Burnham , the messiah , is about to be the savior of the Labour party , really ? Will he stick by the manifesto ? Conjecture but Starmer may want to delay his departure to enable him to complete his backdoor closer association with the EU . Many of the Labour government actions have led to their unpopularity , especially that of making the UK a welfare state , granting big pay rises to train drivers , lack of attention to mitigate the illegal channel crossing immigrants , Starmers inability to answer questions at the PMQT etc etc . His defense from day one has been what he inherited from the 14 year Tory government. I believe that a general election is the way forward and that is what many UK citizens want . I cannot understand why the Reform party appear to be waning . Is it Farage ? Kemi Badenock is gaining in popularity because she talks a lot of sense and if she has a decent cabinet I would consider voting Tory . The UK is in a mess and needs radical changes asap .
