Burnham was elected for a four-year stint, is doing a very good job and should see it through. Nigel Farage "welcomes" this current procession of failures from the old Conservative party to join Reform. All he is obtaining is more and more folk who helped the 14-year decline of England during the last Conservative government. Kemi Badenoch, quite rightly, has made a very slow start, but is now much more credible. She can afford to wait, think things through, devise a meaningful plan, use "new blood", get better different ideas and maybe restore the Tories wrecked image.
