Even Andy Burnham, who once privatised a hospital, is more left-wing than the Labour Party's staff, who are appointed only by each other and who are then answerable to nobody, not even when they are deliberately losing their employer a General Election.
Those people brought Keir Starmer to his present position, and he has started his Leadership with only the popularity with which Jeremy Corbyn ended his.
Starmer ought not to be drawing a salary as Leader of the Opposition, and his puppet-masters are obsessed with "Trots"; that word occurs more than 300 times in the devastating Labour report, only the leak, and not the content, of which is to be investigated by the party.

But their definition of Trotskyism explicitly includes the publicly owned rail service that Margaret Thatcher defended in terms that still bear scrutiny, and which remains the preference of two thirds of voters, including the majority of Conservative supporters.
The most right-wing people in Britain are running the Labour Party, and they have been for years. Starmer is still going on about anti-Semitism, even after it has been exposed as a hoax perpetrated by his supporters in order to destroy his predecessor.
Especially since Starmer does not have Tony Blair's excuse of public popularity, or at least of electoral success, Burnham knows that this cannot last. He has every intention of being the next Leader of the Labour Party, and sooner rather than later.
Burnham's only possible rival from the self-styled centre of the party is in an impossible position. Either he will have to leave the Shadow Cabinet because his wife had been expelled from the Labour Party, or his wife will not have been expelled from the Labour Party only because she was married to a member of the Shadow Cabinet.
But fun though this all is, real politics continues without reference to it. The Government's mistakes need to be called out, while the Budget of March 2020, together with the Government's economic response to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, have ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
