Burnham is 💯 wrong!😡 Brexit IS the point! He can’t ignore it! It’s 2026 not 2016 so it’s not a re-run of the same arguments! This is where Burnham could challenge & hang out Farage to dry! Farage is Mr Brexit. He’s just admitted the £5m donation was a reward for getting Brexit & it has ruined 🇬🇧!

If a candidate cannot talk about this in a Leave area, then that isn’t democracy. It’s Brexit authoritarianism. And no reputable media outlet should pander to that. If Burnham runs scared in Makerfield, is he fit to be PM? Is anyone fit if they can’t take on the Brexit shitshow?
