Thank you for your inattention to this matter...

If anyone's still in doubt about the ramifications of the Andy Burnham situation let me spell it out for you.   There are 400 Labour MPs and despite many of them despising Sir Keir, not one of them has the bollocks to be a stalking horse and put up a leadership challenge.  Not even the one who has just resigned... so they have to get Andy Burnham to try and stand in a safe seat so he can but no one on the NEC has the bollocks to let him.  Neither does Burnham have the bollocks to stand as an independent like Ken Livingstone.  The problems this Labour government has cannot be solved by it's own MPs and so what has been created instead is a load of bollocks whatever way you look at it.  The reality is this government is so ineffectual, it can't even do infighting properly.  It's just pitiful.  It isn't even like Andy Burnham is some charismatic hard left alternative to Keir Starmer either.  He's just another plodding career centrist after power for its own sake and ... He's almost as deep a personality vacuum as Wes Streeting and both of them are almost as empty vessels as Sir Keir.  So there you are.  Thank you for your inattention to this matter.
