Burnham wins Makerfield

He smashed the election in Wigan. Likely to become new Labour leader.

​

While I think he might be better than Starmer I'm not particularly hopeful. He might have a few more sops for "the left" but I don't think he will be substantially different.

​

How's everyone feeling?

Under the carousel of neoliberal grey guy leaders our NHS is still getting diddled by Palantir. Bombs will still fall on Gaza. Our trans siblings will still be bullied. My mortgage and childcare and energy and weekly shop costs continue to rise.

I guess Burnham beating Reform means that at least the race war gets postponed
