‘He feels more relatable’: Burnham’s conference speech wins praise from drifting Labour voters | Andy Burnham

1. Translation: He’s basically the same, but has a Northern accent.

2. It’s just classic Corbynish.

   “Good is good, bad is bad” – crowd goes wild.

   There is not much real world foundation to anything he is promising.

3. He’s certainly less robotic than Starmer and feels much more sincere in what he’s saying, and has also already put forward ideas that much more closely align with the Labour fanbase.

   I don’t think it’ll be long before he has issues though. He seems to have come through the triple lock issue unscathed so far, but it’ll add up eventually, and the more this Man City stuff drags on the worse and worse it’ll look for him to defend the owners.

   Clear upgrade so far though.
