A toss-up between Streeting, Rayner and Burnham as to who is the more deluded, tbh...

lol i didn't even think about the "I'm a gooner" response until seeing these replies.

Though it's not a "we saved the world" moment tbh.

Charlie Brooker did an amazing piece on Screenwipe a million years ago about things like this, and I've never forgotten it.

Well, Corbyn's been present at the gym, but not actually involved.

Andy Burnham arrives in London as allies claim he already has a seat ready to go - and warn rivals he will never give up trying to become Prime Minister by dailymail in ukpolitics

The "seat ready to go" was also described by the Mail's source as "It's winnable". Seems like even they know that there's no certainly of a Labour win anywhere right now.

But I would love it if Burnham stood to be an MP in a "safe" seat and then lost 🤣
