Hey UK folks, what your take on Andy Burnham, the man presumably taking over the reins of UK Labour, and Number 10, from Sir Stammer? Do you think this will this improve Labour's prospects in future elections?

I will never understand how Labour manages to continue to fuck up. 10 years of ridiculous Tory clown show, and Labour couldn't even manage a decent opposition. Determined to be Tory-light, apparently.
I've felt for a long time that English voters should replace the Tories with the LibDems and Labour with the Greens. That would do the country a lot of good.
But I hope Andy Burnham is finally going to be better.

Let's face it the Greens *are* the real UK labour party now. It's encouraging that polls and election results are starting to reflect that.
Interesting call on the Liberal Democrats. If the Tories continue to accompany Labour in their slide into irrelevance, and Count Binface embarrasses Farage so completely in Clacton that it tanks Reform, that could even happen.
@strypey He's still a zionist, and appears to be a centrist. He's already made commitments that indicate he's just as establishment as Starmer. The only benefit seems to be that he's not Starmer. He might do some good, but I'm not holding my breath. The Greens look far better to me.
@strypey Not really expecting anything different, just a less robotic delivery of the disappointment. We'll see, but I am not massively hopeful.

> Not really expecting anything different
Is that just disillusionment with Labour as a party though, or based on Burnham's background as a political operator?
