He's made his move, he's written to the NEC chair to for permission to enter candidacy selection.

I can guarantee you he will make a Reform government even more likely. An exceptionally unlikeable and disingenuous chap outside his cadre.

I think we get that you don’t like him.
For the record, my uncle, a dyed in the wool Tory, based in Cheshire, works with him regularly and has nothing but the highest regard for him.
I think I’ll take that reference over yours

I will take the opinion of the majority of the population of Manchester over a lost Tory Kipper. Thanks for your opinion though.
The NEC aren't going to let Burnham stand.

Would be a mistake to block him. "better in the tent......" for me.
Might get the blood flowing a bit for labour voters currently feeling at best ambivalent about Starmer's Labour.
And if a voter is small minded and twisted enough to consider Farage a potential leader, I don't think having Burnham in or out of the Labour party will really be impacting that decision.
