I can't see an overall majority at the next GE.
There is also a lot to happen in three years.
Reform have a problem - they have three years to weed out the people that post nazi symbols and talk about melting Nigerians to fill potholes and find suitable replacements. Can they do the latter without just looking like the Tories?
They also have to perform at local level now - which is almost impossible.
If they get power as minority (which is likely), if they don't address my first point we'll just see a year Reform MPs resigning or losing the whip, thus creating a complete hung parliament.
That might be the catalyst to a move to coalition governance and electoral reform. Or it might just crash the economy. Possibly both.

The smart move by Labour would be to introduce PR before the next election.

He is a bit too cosy with Palantir and big pharma. Theil and co are not to be trusted (a huge understatement). The NHS would be at severe risk, I would think. I don't know a whole lot about Burnham except that he was no darling of the left before, but has changed, apparently.

Considering the mess the UK is in it seems bizarre to me that doing more of the same is going to help much. Streeting is that. Burhnam at least purports to be something different.

Burnham is like one of those players that suddenly become the answer to all your woes when he isn't available.
 
Streeting doesn't even look like he will hold his own seat next GE. And he's genuinely comes across slimey and dishonest. Literally nobody from his cabinet has a chance at being a unity candidate.
 
Well, I for one am utterly shocked… 🙄

His house in Frinton is 100% not £1.4m like it says at the top of that tweet
I know this as he lives in the same road as somebody who comes to Spurs with me and it's nearer £750k (if that matters)
