This was inevitable – I wrote in January that it would happen if Burnham returned to Westminster – but it's happening *quite fast* given he hasn't actually returned yet.
Or even just someone with a regular job who wants to have opinions (or maybe even a kink, or whatever) on the Internet!

“Travel south to Westminster” really does have “Prince over the water” vibes. I know that the WCML isn’t great but it’s some way from the Jacobite’s long march to Derby.
Sorry, but: she would have simultaneously been livid at the default bluesky image crop here, and also found it very funny given how inappropriate it is for what is a truly moving tribute post.

Labour politicians are absolutely obsessed with doing speeches about ignoring their core voters that ironically are *deeply* in denial about who the party's core voters actually are. It's a particularly weird form of gaslighting.

Three years now since the last time I saw her.
The problem is I genuinely can't think of a single frontbench labour politician who dares actually say that, or advocate for the party's real core. Perhaps that's why they're polling so badly and haemorrhaging members, of course.
