Oh well at least this isn’t the chaos under the Tories that we were promised…

I wonder what happens to Rachel Reeves in that scenario? Her policies seem equally unpopular.

    There seems to be a mix of briefings going out suggesting Burnham will make Miliband the chancellor, keep Reeves to appease the bond markets, or tack further right and appoint Mahmood. It will be the first real signal of which version of Burnham we’re getting I guess.

      Burnham already indicated he will bring Josh Simons back to Downing St, after he had to resign his Ministerial post for directing MI5 to investigate reporters looking into Starmer’s campaign. So I’m expecting the right-leaning version.
