i remember some of his early stuff from the 2010 hustings. wasn't iirc on the left of that five... here's quite a fun exchange to look back on www.theguardian.com/politics/201...
Burnham is a busted flush. He’s too old (56) - the current LOTO is 46 - he was jeered in 2015 at hustings over his attitude towards the benefits cap & not knowing the price of petrol. By 2029 Burnham will be ready to draw a pension! Far too much tilting at windmills going on.
