I'm ambivalent about Labour. They 100% deserve the kicking they're getting from challengers on the left. But Makerfield feels like a Martin Bell in Tatton moment, when Green/LD should stand aside to let Burnham defeat Reform. Fight it out after. But don't split the progressive vote and help Farage.

Ordinarily I'd just say Labour can sod off but Burnham has said he'd push for proportional representation. That would be a huge boon for the country, especially if he becomes PM. If Burnham doesn't push for that once elected at least I'll know never to give Labour the benefit of the doubt.
