granted, 'square-jawed white man' is about the limit of what he truly represents in the minds of most, and it's appalling how this is ample qualification

good luck whatever you guys do. it's always easier to say fuck every last one of these cowardly melts and fuck the PLP.

Hahaha fucking hell
Yes, Ben, seems right to me. Always felt like the Party machine opposed my pro-public NHS & social care policies between 2010 & 2015. Not sure I had even-handed treatment from them in either the 2010 or 2015 leadership elections. https://t.co/TnURFisaah— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) April 12, 2020
― gyac, Sunday, 12 April 2020 21:21 (four years ago) link
I think even in just cold electoral terms the party is deeply fucked and Starmer doesn't have the clarity to see what he needs to do or the strength to go through with it, but I think it will be an Interesting Experience

This is the thing that has always been my undoing: I’m a loyal Labour man. If I’d rebelled & spoken out more, life would probably have worked out differently.— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) April 12, 2020

He's had a good year or two. Still feel Burnham might make another push for leader when it seems like a better job than mayor i.e. 8+ years

Btw if I was Starmer (as regular readers of this thread will know i am recently ousted vampire John Rentoul MR Seumas Milne) id be looking at this and planning a clearout. If the wreckers went after Burnham and Corbyn, he’s on borrowed time too.

Given how egregious the comments are and how well proper disciplinaries/a purge will play with demographics who do not trust starmer and may not even vote labour again it seems a no brainer... but who knows

― Colonel Poo, Sunday, 12 April 2020 22:05 (four years ago) link
But...why? The report shows a lot of the complaints were vexatious, and although there were tons of legitimate complaints, they were backed up by wads of evidence that the complaints were soft-pedalled for factional reasons. Anyone who cares about antisemitism should find this report to be a fucking outrage.
