Present system of democracy on the IOM allows an entirely directionless administration to be put in place by an unelected CM & achieve next to nothing for years

Seems fairly obvious what Reform’s message will be in the forthcoming by-election. Vote Reform to get rid of Labour. They will portray Burnham as being a member of an elitist political class who treats ordinary voters with contempt. And they will bring up grooming gangs. And

@VoicesofWW2 Just after a few days Churchill was also beaten badly & had to run away at Dunkirk. Dare not set foot on European land until Russians had already beaten Nazi & were inside Germany. That is when Allies could summon up courage to land on french beaches

86 years ago today, Winston Churchill, Prime Minister for exactly 5 days, was woken by his phone ringing at 7:30 a.m. It was Paul Reynaud, the French Premier. His voice was hollow. "We have been defeated. We are beaten; we have lost the battle." Churchill, half-asleep, couldn't process it: "Surely it can't have happened so soon?" Reynaud: "The front is broken near Sedan. They are pouring through in great numbers with tanks and armoured cars." The German invasion was 5 days old. The "impassable" Ardennes forest had just funneled seven Panzer divisions through France's weakest hinge. The next day, Churchill flew to Paris. He asked General Gamelin a single question: "Where is the strategic reserve?" Gamelin shrugged. "Aucune." None. France had no reserve. There was nothing behind the line that had just broken. Churchill later wrote that this was one of the greatest shocks of his life. The country he'd grown up believing had the finest army in Europe had already lost the war. They just didn't know it yet. Six weeks later, Paris fell.

If Burnham resigns as Mayor to stand in a bye election he will face a well funded Reform candidate, a popular Green candidate & possibly a ‘I back Starmer’ candidate. Should he lose, his political career will be over & Manchester will end up with a Reform Mayor. Think twice Andy

Keir Starmer is expected to approve an £18 billion increase in defence spending. Senior defence insiders said the investment would enable the armed forces to modernise and prepare to fight a future war. thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

'Rupert we have a problem...' - Murdoch press et al are now realising Andy Burnham is as left as Kinnock - prepare, now, to see the British press pile in and try to damage Burnham who is both radical AND popular.... panic is breaking out among the hacks.... maybe the final test of their power... it will get ugly.
