Anybody that gets the top of their job in a profession at that level is ruthless. Anybody believes that Andy Burnham is some sort of nice guy is absolutely wrong. His own agenda will be his own power to make himself in the history books.

Top politicians have a "Killer instinct" and "ruthlessness". We get what we vote for and shouldn't complain when they treat the country ruthlessly

But the way he got there is exactly what I don’t like because if he did it, any of the far right can.

Andy burnham knew how to do something Kier Starmer never did : Burnham Knows how to sell himself and his ideas to people. Starmer, though a decent PM who brought sensibleness back to no.10, didnt know how to market himself and labour effectively.

Honestly you can’t win either way. Let’s see how he gets on. He’s done a lot more than what we’ve had up to present!
