Welcome to the ‘Le Sew Up’ – Labour’s newest political shenanigans to seek out the subsequent Prime Minister. Scorching favourites to switch Starmer are; Open Border Burnham and Self Happy Streeting, each with the shared purpose of taking the UK again into the EU. So it’s nil factors from me. The just lately known as by-election in Makerfield is entitled cronyism at its worst, treating the general public like pawns. It’s merely a method to shoehorn Andy “Windbag of the North” Burnham again into Parliament.
Let’s not overlook, Burnham was beforehand an MP who twice did not change into his social gathering’s chief, after which he left Parliament telling everybody that the Mayor of Manchester was the job he actually wished and it could be his final job in politics.

However sniffing a chance and believing himself to be higher than all 403 Labour MPs presently in Parliament, he’s determined to surrender on the five hundred,000 folks throughout Better Manchester who voted for him to be their Mayor and go on his technique to displace the Prime Minister. The 70,000 constituents in Makerfield shall be voting fodder too – a stepping stone for Burnham to get to Quantity 10. It’s all only a sport to those profession politicians.
And the MP who has given up on his constituents to permit this to occur shouldn’t be an outdated MP, exhausted and hoping to retire to let a younger thrusting buck take over from him. It is without doubt one of the new 2024 consumption of MPs, 32 yr outdated Josh Simons. He was set to be one in every of Labour’s highfliers till he resigned as Digital Minister in February after lower than two months in submit due to the Labour Collectively soiled methods scandal, the suppose tank credited with placing Starmer in Quantity 10.
I’m certain we are able to stay up for Lord Simons of Makerfield ought to Burnham win the by-election and change into Prime Minister. It’s all a sport to those folks.
The issue is not Starmer. It is Labour. And no quantity of swapping the chief on the prime will remedy their woes. Their problem is that they haven’t any concepts tips on how to develop the economic system, no resolve to strengthen UK defence, no want for the UK to face on its toes and be an excellent sovereign nation. These buffoons hoping to steer our nation are cowards placing the UK in retreat.
Burnham – who has by no means had a correct job and labored in politics his complete grownup life – is a EU fanatic who has said that he needs to rejoin, open our borders additional and provides 500 million folks the correct to maneuver right here freely.
But he’s pleased to face within the by-election in a seat which voted overwhelmingly to go away. Outmanoeuvred by Streeting on the weekend Burnham is presently making an attempt to backtrack on his professional EU stance. I do hope the folks of Makerfield see by way of him and don’t permit themselves for use as a part of ‘Le Sew Up’ on this by-election.
