Let’s walk through this step by step, just to make sure I’ve got this right:
1. Keir Starmer is the least popular PM in history (not disputed).
2. Substantial Labour members and MP’s want to replace him with Andy Burnham because they believe he’ll vastly improve Labour’s prospects in the next GE (hard to argue: see point 1 above).
3. According to Richard Tice, Reform voters in Makerfield just voted for Burnham ‘tactically’, in a by-election in order to effectively improve Labour’s prospects and consequently reduce Reform’s prospects in the next GE.
Do Reform voters realise that the deputy leader of Reform has just described them as a bunch of cretinous simpletons, or is he right, in which case they really ARE a bunch of cretinous simpletons?
Tice appears to be putting himself out there rehearsing material for a new career as a standup comedian….
“… If [Andy Burnham] becomes Prime Minister then he has to make big choices. He’s not actually known for being very decisive; he’s not known for his views on defence, he’s not known for his views on the economy. Those are some of the crucial issues…”
Oh, the irony, coming from the deputy to Flip Flop Farage, the man who wants to become Prime Minister but whose views on defence change direction with the breeze and whose views on the economy have all the substance of a bowl of jelly!
