It's the position of the Conservative Party that the US President has veto power over UK parliamentary sovereignty.

Remarkable times

Its a treaty that Labour arranged by Harold Wilson and the US president LBJ a democratic.

Ironic the treaty signed by the left, probably stopped by the right person for the job

I think Burnham shot himself in the foot by trying to run, and dealt further damage to Labour unnecessarily.

Exactly. Why didn’t someone tell him not to bother before he applied.

BTW, I can thoroughly recommend Ian Dunt's 'How Westminster Works', which I've referenced elsewhere. It's an apolitical but eye-popping analysis of the 'Westminster machine', with chapters on elections, MPs, 'Power', ministers, the Treasury, the civil service, the press, the Commons, the law. and the Lords. The stuff about 10 Downing St, as a building and how it shapes how government actually works in practice is almost unbelievable. It's engaging and really well written. Do yourself a favour: it might help you realise how/why so many terrible decisions are made.

What are the differences to the deal that Sunak agreed, which made it compliant with that US treaty?

What a coincidence that I mention that and up you pop

Genuinely don't understand what's 'coincidental' here. You right-wing windowlickers are weird.

He’s not some much a U turner, as a U bender.

So no upside for Labour which ever way it goes. Sounds good.

Burnham has now been barred from standing, which, I think is risky for him, the longer before he can exit the Mayor role and become an MP ( or better) the more chance of “issues” emerging from his time as Mayor.
