This has been a sad week for watchers of the #Makerfield by-eiection.
The ReformUK candidate is a fkake. Other fash are eating his vote.
The neoliberal Andy #Burnham has been outed by the #ManchesterMill as a lightweight. The Conservatives are over. The Greens are beached.
So Burnham will win, and annoyingly delay the long-overdue death of #LINO.
But there is good news: the Count Binface Party is fielding a candidate, who turns out to be — surprise! — #CountBinface himself. ❤️
Many thanks to Gerry Hassan for spotting this excellent article on #AndyBurnham by Joshi Herriman in The #ManchesterMill: https://manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking-for-burnhamism-in-six-years-ive-never-found-it/
Herrimam has massively reinforced my view that #Burnham is a brilliant metro Mayor, but would be a crap leader of the #LabourParty and a crap #PrimeMinister. It's the #PeterPrinciple: people who do a job well get promoted to a job that's beyond them.
