How about Ambassador to Washington,  to replace his erstwhile bestie, Mandelson?
Wha? Burnham's bestie?

"Burnham has handed the keys of Number 10 to his new Chief of Staff, James Purnell—the ex-chair of Labour Friends of Israel, a former BBC executive, and the CEO of Flint Global, an elite corporate lobbying outfit that protects private water companies from state takeovers and was recently sold to a private equity firm notorious for price gouging the NHS"

So Burnham = the next Zionist stooge

And so we prepare to usher in a brand new Labour utopia, under Chairman Burnham. Is there any real ideological difference between them & the Tories? The professional political classes, of all hues, just exist to make as much loot as they can, in return for feathering the nests of the already exceedingly rich & powerful. Meanwhile, the ordinary punters get screwed over.

The Professional Managerial Class are united in purpose.

They would need wholesale unseating but unfortunately if you somehow did do this the money men would tank markets and tell you to behave etc.

·       The UK suffers  three failures: failing politics; a failing state; and a failing economy.
·       The problem is that the economy does not provide a rising standard of living or the expected quality of public services at politically acceptable levels of taxation.

·       When economies cease to grow, everything becomes zero-sum: more for one group of people means less for others. The overwhelming questions in politics become how to contain the discontent when much of the population has stagnant real incomes, how to manage the public finances, especially during shocks, and how to get the economy growing again.

The British economy isn't going to be growing significantly any time soon & probably hasn't to any great extent since 2008. It's now a primarily services sector based economy, heavily skewed towards London & the South East. What could possibly go wrong?

A Farage government that wins a majority on 30% of voters under FPTP.
Getting rid of the NHS, dumping the european Convention of human rights and repatriating brown people.
It could get a lot worse.
