@nprofile1q... i'm not voting labour but i do think labour lurching back to the left would be good for the country. i'll take a little win (or a possibility of one, even) over the steady stream of bad shit we've been getting.
so in that spirit: Burnham thinks he has to appeal to the racist vote to win the seat. that area voted for Brexit bigtime.
maybe he'd rather not. i dunno. but he's got to be an MP before he can lead the country.
