So it begins….. Streeting resigns

Burnham will just have to do the "Broken record" technique -smile, repeat answer firmly, don't get drawn into accusations.

I want Starmer to stay, I think he's the biz.

BUT I'm predicting Burnham will be elected Makkesfield & finding it hard to be optimistic about Starmer's chances of still being PM in 6 months' time.

It's not Burnham's view I'm worried about. It's Streeting's. If he campaigns with Burnham and people know that he advocates rejoining they could well think that is Burnham's view, too. And, as we very well know, once people get an idea into their heads about someone (or something) , especially if it's one they don't agree with, it's just about impossible to shift.

To be fair if you start talking about rejoining the EU, it isn't the people's fault if they think that is what Labour stand for. One of the criticisms of Starmer I have heard is that he doesn't know how to be political, Streeting seems to have that skill.

Precisely. And if they don't like it they aren't going to be persuaded otherwise. I think Streeting is being devious.

Don’t forget that for Streeting to campaign for Burnham, Burnham must want him to do so.

Well, from what I've read they seem to be a bit too matey for my liking.

But, that could just be being political

I suspect so MaizieD. I assume that they are not bosom buddies, and haven’t worked directly together? I’d guess it will be a different story once campaigning starts.

But that’s why Blair said ‘ education education education’ and from what my teacher daughter tells me he was true to his word. Whatever faults their parents have it isn’t the fault of the children and they need all the help they can get to move out of poverty.
