Mr Burnham had promised that he would support the Government, not undermine it. In the Conservative Party, there has been open talk about Tory Traitors. In Manchester, some Labour voters are saying that they have been lied to and intend to switch to Reform. Mr Burnham is deemed a success as Mayor, but he has previously lost two leadership contests — to Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn. Like the “Faithfuls” on The Traitors, voters who rely on gut feelings can make catastrophic misjudgements.
