Andy Burnham should have a few well thought out policies to push with Labour membership and later country to differentiate himself from Starmer.
So far he seems to be all over the place, like what would he do with power different from Starmer, should he oust him?

Also it doesnโt really mean anything.
What is classed as a handout vs a handup?
Supporting ppl thru pensions, universal credit, and disability benefits if theyโve been assessed as entitled to these things is already a โhandupโ
Carns is asked where the extra ยฃ for defence should come from.
".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups"
Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners

Wrote this back in January of 2026
Five months later, & Labour are still lead by Starmer. The longer he stays in post, the more damage he does to their Labour brand, yet still it took them losing 1500 seats in May before doing anything at all.
Clowns.

Reject this framing of elections.
It's not Restore "sweeping Burnham to Victory in Makerfield", standing in an election is not helping an opponent.
It's Labour voters, many of them choosing to vote tactically, that will sweep Burnham to victory...

These clowns literally voted for PR at their conference in 2022, and their leader has ignored it for four years.

I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.
The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.
The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with.
Prison is where they belong.
Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.

Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.

Want to know who Reform really stand for? Look at who's funding them.
ALT Quote graphic that reads: Reform make out like they're your mate down the pub, standing up for everyday people. But they're actually working closely with the establishment think tanks that helped put Trump into power, and raking in millions in donations from billionaires. We can see who's pulling the strings. quote from Natalie Bennett Green Party peer.

NEW: Andy Burnham faces Labour backlash over support for Waspi women
One government figure decried Burnhamโs hint about a major compensation spending pledge as โpatheticโ, adding: โHe canโt say no to anyone.โ
A Starmer ally suggested Burnhamโs move was Corbynite, adding: โKeir literally won by not being this version of the Labour party.โ
