Looks like business as usual for the UK Prime Minister, same as the last one, and the one before, etc.

Lucky for us that bottoms out at Thatcher.

I’m more concerned about how it tops out.

News flash: Burnham isn't Jesus and he's not going to transport us to the sunny utopian uplands.

Turns out he's just a plain old politician bound by the same shitty unwritten rules as the last five or ten PM's.

Accept these facts now to avoid disappointment.
