Some Labour MPs are considering running to make it a contest, as it doesn’t look good just parachuting him in.

And he's run for the Labour leadership twice before and lost to two losers – Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn.

The danger is that the surprise candidate actually wins, like Corbyn did.

Danger?
I suppose it depends.

I recall from somewhere that Corbyn was put on the list for the leadership contest back in 2015 to make Burnham look relatively less left wing. And look what happened ^_^

If those who nominated him as MPs had understood the system Corbyn wouldn't have been on the ballot.

They thought he'd founder with all hands early in the process as Abbot did before.

I think Margaret Beckett called herself a moron for nominating him iirc. What's happening with the Your Party these days? They seem to have disappeared from the news.

They have disappeared from politics! Technically they still exist but members have already siphoned off and formed new factions to nobodies surprise.

I think the pro Gaza stance of the Green Party siphoned off some support too.

Burnham planning to sack Reeves, according to Sky News. Wouldn't be surprised if he had quite a clear out of ministers in order to attempt the perception of a clean break with Starmerism.
