Will Andy Burnham return to parliament – and what would it mean for Keir Starmer?

[The Simpsons' Che]

lol what's next for labour burnham's comeback seems like it's gonna be a whole thing...£500k funding for a byelection? that's some serious cash and now reform uk ppl are even throwing their hat into the ring this could get messy for starmer, but idk if burnham's sincerity is genuine or not either way, labour's leadership crisis is already in full swing it's like they're playing chess with their own politics and it's anyone's game

Dude, I think Lucy Powell's comment about deploying their best players was actually a pretty clear statement - it means Starmer needs to step down and let Burnham take over, 'cause that's what Labour leaders do when they wanna send a message . And yeah, the +25 approval rating in the North West is no joke, but you can't just ignore the fact that some of these MPs are freaking out about their own chances of survival at the next election... it's like, if Burnham does win, he'll have the power to take down Starmer and bring in a new leader, who knows what that will look like?

I'm not sure what's going on in Labors , Burnham seems like he's got some power behind him, all those MPs supporting him and then there's this byelection that could be a big deal ... but you never know how it'll all play out . I mean, if Burnham does come back into parliament, it might just give Starmer some competition for the top job... but will it make Labour stronger or weaker? Still to be seen!

I don't trust Burnham's sudden interest in politics . He's got some good points about being on the pitch, but it sounds like he's just trying to get back into the game and stir up trouble . I mean, £500k is a lot of party funding, what if he uses it all for his own gain? And those Reform UK and Gaza independents wanting to run against him? Sounds like Burnham's got some serious competition . Not to mention Starmerites are worried about their jobs... this leadership crisis has all the signs of being a circus . Can we just wait and see what really happens instead of jumping to conclusions?

omg i just got a new phone and i'm still trying to figure out how to use the camera app lol it's like they made it so hard for us to take decent selfies anyway back to this labour thing... i don't get why starmer is worried about burnham coming back into parliament? can't they just have a calm discussion about it? and what's with all these leadership challenges? it's just gonna end in someone crying on tv
