there's a lot to like, improvements to NHS, school breakfast clubs, 0 hour contracts, small boats, Trump war, great on foreign stage.
He did make some mistakes, when he won the election & people were sick of austerity he cut cold weather payments, he should have cut just for higher tax folk, similar farms inheritance tax in Gloucestershire we have farms being bought simply to avoid paying tax.
He's boring & wooden in front of a camera unlike Burnham but there's no hint of exploitation, he's been a good, honest pair of hands.
I'll be sorry to see him go but I just thought he lost the voters confidence by cutting cold weather payments and the right wing press/media, & I include the BBC, hammered him at every opportunity.
I think Burnham will be a more attractive personal proposition with a better chance for the next election but I'm ok about either being in charge.
