According to BBC News, around 50 Labour MPs have signed a letter protesting the decision to block Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, from standing in the upcoming parliamentary by-election.
Prime Minister Starmer, who seems to think of himself as a king, much like Trump, blocked Burnham’s entry into Parliament out of fear that he could become a rival. Starmer, a victim of his own fear, tried to secure his position by removing Burnham from Parliament, but 50 Labour MPs collected signatures protesting Starmer’s blocking of Andy Burnham and demanding that the decision be reversed.
The MPs collected signatures, but Starmer is unlikely to take them seriously. He sees himself as a god and will not reverse his decision or hand over his seat to Burnham.
The economy is deteriorating, unemployment is rising, and inflation is increasing. Starmer has no area where he has been successful. Labou MPs, considering the situation, secretly supported Durnham instead of choosing an alternative, showing that they didn’t want Starmer. Unless Starmer is removed from the party leadership, Durnham won’t be the last. Starmer doesn’t want any candidates of his own, and the cowardice of the MPs will prolong his tenure.
