Labour Are Already Finished

from Tomlinson Talks · host Connor Tomlinson

Book the hearse and dig the grave, because Labour are already dead. They’re a spent force and must endure getting heckled by the working-class voters they betrayed, wherever they go.Andy Burnham’s popularity in the north can’t reverse their misfortunes. Starmer taints everything he touches, including Burnham’s bid to become MP for Makerfield in the upcoming by-election.Even if Burnham wins and becomes Prime Minister, he won’t reverse mass migration. There is no fiscal headroom for his infrastructure projects and plans to nationalise key industries. The IMF has warned that no more revenue can be raised from raising taxes, and that the bond markets Burnham would rather ignore are on the brink of insolvency.So I don’t buy the polling that says Burnham could win a majority at the next general election. If he enters government, he will be bound by the same fiscal constraints, working with the same system, and have a Cabinet full of the same inadequate Ministers as Starmer has.It doesn’t matter whether Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner, Burnham, Starmer, or Larry the Cat are holding the poisoned chalice in 2029. This will be the last Labour government. The battle now is for who succeeds them.Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZfEPTNxVYJMSupport my work on Substack: https://connortomlinson.substack.com/Follow me on X: https://x.com/Con_TomlinsonSupport my work:- https://buymeacoffee.com/connortomlinson- paypal.com/paypalme/ConnorJTomlinson- https://connortomlinson.locals.com/Listen to Tomlinson Talks on podcast platforms:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2lVAFqUZQQTQW8XiNhODP0Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tomlinson-talks/id1811957060Amazon Music / Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/be9537ec-b746-4a5c-9d79-40f8d0a87f19
