Starmer's vision quest

It would be rather amusing if Burnham tries for a 'safe' seat and loses.

Beyond amusing 😂

the most useless, ineffective and unpopular prime minister ever

Well that's today's award for hyperbolic twaddle settled quite early.

The way this is playing out is the perfect metaphor for the last 2 years of government. I mean if they can't even manage to get rid of the most useless, ineffective and unpopular prime minister ever then what can they do? Farcical doesn't even come close to describing it.

FFS - Stop trying to steal Liz Truss's glory! Starmer's not even in second place. What about Boris and Sunak?

And Johnson's (which, I'd argue, is even more extreme, as he's not barking mad).

Well it seems to be a competition between Starmer and truss for the least popular ever, depending on how you try to measure it, or which polling company is used.
From Fullfact.org:
Ipsos polling shows Mr Starmer has the lowest satisfaction level of any PM since it started asking the question in the 1970s, some other polls suggest fewer people approved of or favoured Liz Truss.

Tbf, Truss didn't last long enough to really do as much damage as she would have done.
The last PM to serve a full term was David Cameron. Says a lot.

Tbh. I think those popularity polls are fundamentally broken now.
No one wants the other guy to do well.
