That would be a Shocker

There's a process that may not see him end up as the candidate for this by-election.
However I myself, have always hoped and wanted Andy Burnham as leader.
I voted for him as a member when he stood for it in 2015.

Hurdles to cross yet for him to even get to stand to be an MP again.
I do think he'd win this by-election.
However then more difficulties ahead to not only challenge Starmer but to also beat him.
If a leadership election was even likely probable.

However it's what I myself would love to see.
Because I've always strongly admired Andy.

I think that constituency is more likely to want a labour leadership contest than a reform mp. Just my 2 cents

Reform UK has put
Presenter Matt Goodwin to run as an MP

[Reform UK have unveiled GB News presenter
and academic turned activist Matt Goodwin as their
candidate to stand in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Speaking at a press conference, Goodwin
said he was "not part of the establishment"
or the "Westminster blob" and promised to
give people in the constituency "a voice" in
Parliament.

The by-election in the Greater Manchester
constituency was triggered by the
resignation of Andrew Gwynne,
who stepped down for health reasons.]

Christ, it really is a shallow pool isn’t it

[joeysteele]

I cannot stand that creep Goodwin.
Have never ever liked him.

Whether Labour, LibDems and Greens use their heads now to ensure he doesn't win is another thing though.

They need to at this moment in time, look to who IS the more likely to beat Reform and get behind that one candidate and Party.

I’m so happy Matt Goodwin will be standing. He will make a fantastic MP. He will bring an academic analytical style to questions in the House of Commons. Let’s do all we can to get him elected. 🇬🇧❤️
