Andy Burnham says rejoining the EU is among options the government could look at - telling the BBC the current Brexit settlement has caused “more harm than good”.

Ahh the piece of shit decided to look less like a piece of shit while still being one cause he wont actually do anything to achieve that. I dont know what happens when you get inaugurated to be uk pm but they seem to tear you spine out cause all of them turn into spineless fucks.
What’s going on with Burnham? I am really not well informed…
Generally looking very positive for him at the moment. Way more popular than the outgoing PM. Has since said lots of things other politicians would avoid: Nationalising infrastructure, Fixing Social Care, Rejoining the EU, reforming the electoral system. It’s early days, probably not possible for him to do everything he talks about. Generally a solid social democratic outlook.
He had a bunch of good policies, got into office and instantly fired pro palestine people, went back on his policies, basically summed up he was like “oh this is harder than i thought it would be”. Unlike mamdani for example who promised and delivered on what he could(of course there are things that are harder to achieve and things that aee easier), burnham basically just gave up on doing anything like every other fucking politician. He isnt especially bad, hes kinda meh, but why i had such a bad reaction to him is that i expected him to be an actually good change like mamdani.
Do you think it is fair to compare the outcomes of a city mayor to the prime Minister of the UK? I’m not asking this rhetorically, but it personally doesn’t feel of the same calibre job.
No but i could campare to the prime minister of hungary, peter magyar but i thought i would give an example more well known in the west.
Do the Peter Magyar please. He should be known well enough in c/europe.
What’s he given up on? Not sure he’s tried anything yet…
Neither am I, but even mentioning rejoining the EU when far right is stronger than ever is pretty bold I’d say, there’s a reason PMs before him have avoided saying it.
That reason is cowardice, and it’s why the far right continue to do so well. Appeasement does not work. “The left has to offer an alternative” is what we’ve been screaming throughout Starmer’s premiership, and now we’re getting it.
