Ranked:
- streeting
- milliband
- haigh
- reeves
- shabana
Milliband is ideologically more in line with me, but Streeting has publicly had better ideas, would calm the markets and a deal would avoid a Labour leadership election
@UnionJacked__ And no one is factoring in the post by election bounce on the polls, he wont be trailing by 3% if he defeats Reform in what should have been an easy Reform gain
"I thought the weight of the burden on employers' National Insurance wasn't the right decision."
Andy Burnham, Labour candidate in the Makerfield by-election says he would be "sympathetic" to reversing the National Insurance rise if he became prime minister.

@JohnAnonSmyth@AlMuadah1@TheFuckingUNNow Agreed. Streeting-esq Blairites will probably generate more from people tho, their base is higher earning progressives and lets not forget that the Tony Blair Think Tank is pretty well funded.
I apologise to every single Liberal Democrat and Green i have ever said anything bad about.
The left is united and will likely govern together by 2029.
@JohnAnonSmyth@AlMuadah1@TheFuckingUNNow Also in the long term I suspect Labour under PR splits into two parties, tough to imagine Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham as part of the same group
@LabJacobite@r_stwrt_ Yes and not to mention the austerity that’s going to have to happen to meet the 60% debt to gdp ratio to rejoin.
We need more borrowing for investment and infrastructure and these lot want cuts that would make Osborne pale
