Andy Burnham has to now resign as the mayor of Manchester. He cannot hold the position as mayor and also be an MP. This will be the next battleground and has to take place within 35 days. It will be an interesting competition. Will the Labour Party again achieve success or will another party take over for example the Conservatives or Reform? Andy Burnham now starts his journey south and we will be sworn in as the member of Parliament on Monday. Now a battle royal begins for the soul of the labour party and can Burnham - be more radical than the supine Keir Starmer? We need a radical change of direction and hopefully - he can provide this by bringing some of his Manchester flair and panache to government.
