Again, Burnham does not - and has never - spoken for the left of the party. And I don't mean the SCG, I mean any non-Blairite.

He's a snake and always has been. If people think Starmer is bad, you're gonna be spitting blood by Christmas.

    SCG?

    And I suspect many would still rank Blair's government above any since, despite the Iraq scandal and it including Mandelson. Even now, some still listen to him, despite his funders.

    I doubt anyone serious expects Burnham to be far left. Not even the tabloid headline writers believe what they're writing.
