Could be the case, Rebbonk.

Stammer's on his way out, and this country's going to sink further into the **** with Burnham looking like he's going to take over: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckger03mrl0t

[quote="Lex"]I'm imagining Nigel Farage is rubbing his hands in glee.[/quote] I'm not so sure, Lex. Reform isn't really ready to run the country as yet, and I think Farage knows it.

One scenario could be that Labour deliberately lets Reform in knowing they would struggle, then after a few years of failure (because the first few years of undoing the crap that is in place will be difficult), make a comeback, crowing about things.

We definitely live in interesting times! I'm imagining Nigel Farage is rubbing his hands in glee.

Assuming that Burnham challenges and wins, which is by no means certain, I suspect he will believe his own invincibility and try a snap GE so he gets 5 years rather than 3. At this point, I think reality will bite as he sees the Labour majority heavily reduced, or even overturned.

We live in interesting times!

God help us all. It looks like Labour's going to lurch to the Bolshy Left, with Burnham on the rampage, and Stammer becoming increasingly disillusional, we're in for a s**t***w of Truss proportions.
