” “I hope he wins the by-election and he’ll play a big part in the Labour government.” .What a slime Starmer is, not one person believes this nonsense and it’s embarrassing he thinks he can get away with saying it
The current government is Starmer’s, not Burnham’s. No matter how bad Starmer is as PM, he has no obligation to act as if Burnham should just be able to walk into number 10. What is slimy and opportunistic is asking around for an MP to stand down to make way for a by-election that wasn’t necessary, but for the ambition of one person and making sounds about his own government decisions while not being PM. This is more Machiavellian than Starmer with Corbyn.
Some might say this is politics and ambition, but it’s not afforded tk those with the ‘wrong’ vibes.
My point being that Starmer tried to stand in Burnham’s way then says this .It was a matter of public record that he did that.
Politicians twist and slide but this after the block was so publicly put on a few weeks ago is taking the public for fools
