Burnham: Is the Media Tempting Fate by Jumping the Gun?

I still totally support my lovely Labour MP and she knows that I will continue to do so but resigning my membership is the only way of letting the party know how I feel given that my membership has given me no say in the new leadership. I don’t think it was a plan that evolved over the past year but one that started after Labour were elected. He would not have wanted to be an MP in an opposition party. Keir said when interviewed that he never planned to be PM; thought that, when becoming an MP he might be Attorney General and I believe him. When I think of all the wrong decisions that parties have made over the years when it comes to choosing someone to lead them I hope, for the sake of the country, that Labour haven’t followed that path. But, even if he does become the greatest PM this country has ever had, I will never get over the way in which he gained that position because I’ve been watching him for two years and getting more and more angry.

I left because, having believed what Keir Starmer said in order to get himself elected as leader, I realised I had been misled. The pledges he made were ditched as inconvenient as soon as he was safely in power.
I will be happy to give someone else, in this case, Andy Burnam, a chance.

"I’m not surprised to read this and with no one else standing against Burnham I’ve resigned my membership as I only rejoined the party because of Keir."

Thank you for copying over the article MayBee it's very interesting but I don't understand why you have left the Labour Party.

... and you've shared your reasons on the next page - sorry!

Same here ( albeit not being a member for so long) . Listening to a snippet of his speech today ( couldn’t face watching all of it) he doesn’t strike me as being the great orator that people seem to think he is and his so called ‘jokes’ fell flat with me.
