Technically, neither, but don’t get used to it. You’ve got really fucked up and shitty election about to happen. And it doesn’t look like it’s gonna end well.
Andy Burnham, who won a compelling majority in the Makerfield byelection overnight, is expected to travel to London on Monday to meet MPs in the expectation of becoming prime minister within weeks. One cabinet minister – who has not previously told the prime minister to go – said his departure was now inevitable.
Unless Andy does a 180, he’s a competent socialist leader.
I think the bigger question is whether or not the system will allow him to deviate from their current course of self destruction.

Am I having a stroke? Or did I just read about a genuinely good political development in the UK?

Edit: excuse me, but it appears that my information is a bit out of date

Oh, what wonderful news!
Don’t get too excited, wait and see what his replacement does first.
This is very much a sideways move. There isn’t any one in the labour party that would be markedly better for my money ATM.
Depend on who is going to replace him
Seems to me Keir Starmer is hated mostly because he can’t do the impossible.
Why do you think Andy Burnham is better?
is affirming trans rights impossible?
is saying Israel is committing a genocide impossible?
is not massively invade people privacy impossible?
is not selling out NHS data to Palantir impossible?
Prime ministers have a short shelf live in the UK.
Seems like we passed the Italian curse onto them
