#Makerfield is make or break for #Burnham - it’s the mother of all political gambles.
Will it pay off for him, #Labour and the country?
Right now I hope so on all fronts.
The course under #Starmer has felt like a painful slow motion car crash towards a #Reform government at the next election with all the horror that would entail.
Anything that prevents that is to be welcomed. And only genuine radical progressive change will get us there.
