It was inevitable and no big surprise, so no amazing guesses. I will delete my earlier thread about this because it’s stupid having two threads.
Please tell me what you know about Andy Burnham - why is he considered to be worse ?
Or is this just another speculation on the part of who you listen to ……..

It's all speculation till it happens. People make assumptions based on what people said and did and supported in the past.

Why did he resign?

Why did he resign?

Pressure from within the Labour Party. Once Andy Burnham won his local election last week ( he needed to be an MP in order to challenge or run for leadership. ) Many from within the party were siding with Andy and it conveyed a vote of no confidence. He could have gone down the route of challenging and fighting to stay but decided that it was in the best interest of the Labour Party to except defeat and step down. There will be nominations put forward in the next few weeks , others may choose to go for leadership. They will vote before parliament breaks for summer. Stammer will stay in power until the New leader is chosen.

Burnham on immigration. Patrick Christy...latter half of video has a panel of a few people. You can skip the ad.

Interviews in Birmingham where Burnham was mayor.

As Ever believing the political slant that is portrayed through videos. Personally I think, as Christian’s, it’s best to wait and evaluate from what he actually does. Then , and only then can anyone evaluate how he compares.
