the title sells this short.

context: a labour mp is stepping down so that andy burnham (keir starmer with a different accent, but he’s a mayor rather than a member of parliament) can try to win the seat and then try to take control of the labour party from starmer.

but the pointless electorialism isn’t what’s interesting. mostly i’m kind of horrified at just how much fash propaganda people have soaked up and are parroting without applying even the tiniest bit of fact checking or critical thinking.
