Lol...
trying to figure out why the British media is suddenly much more excited about Andy Burnham and uh... yeah, buddy made his deals with the devil already.

So, it's class war then. Cause I dunno how you can vote for Fascism Lite and expect to beat fascism.
Tbf, this is the same party that dedicated thirty years to economic liberalism as a means of fixing the problems caused by economic liberalism, so there's at least a degree of consistency.
@ReggieHere Yeah but unless they just straight up lie, this is Blairism 3.0 (or is it 4.0 at this poiint?) and that won't sell.
Nope they're done, because for once the left has alternatives.
....4.0 if you count Kinnock?
@ReggieHere Yeah that's kinda what I was wondering - either way, it's at BEST the 3rd itteration of neoliberal austerity the guiding ethos. Plus, he seems willing to "do the racism" so if he sucks socially, and he's a Blairite economically - there is no need to replace Starmer with him, the result will be the same.
(hot tip - whenver you hear anyone in British Politics say "the Bond Market" what they mean is The City. If they're "protecting the bond market" they mean "protecting The City." From what? You.)
