Burnham comes 16th in that poll.

The March article even has the headline ‘Starmer most popular politician’.

Not true.

Using a yougov poll Farage comes top

Another poll that shows this to be untrue is here
https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/48984-politicians-favourability-ratings-march-2024
updated here but with less choice
https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/49179-political-tracker-roundup-april-2024

Using the method in the post above there are many more popular as well such as Andy Burnham.

burnham the guy who was shitter than corbyn in the leadershit election.

with gerry adams more popular than the green leaders, should the greens take up terrorism to boost their profile?

It's a pretty crap explanation of anything when it's claiming the bnp as left wing. It's a tumour the bnp put about to try to make them less objectionable

Neil think youve got confused here , you need to read context of why Alex posted what he did in reply to someone asking a question about allegations ....

I’m sure if this was a working class female then the DM/Tories would be demanding action.

its better  not to quote stuff that's wildly wrong.

being an old disabled git, I've been impressed with and appreciate  the efforts that have been made over the last few decades to make the world accessible tho people who use wheels, part of why I've been impressed is because my locality is well-served by drop kerbs on pavements(there's not many houses round here with driveways, so if there's no drop kerb I'm generally stuffed).

 

today i went off the beaten track to the other side of the city where i rarely go and discovered I'm lucky around here because there's many less drop kerbs in other areas. at one pint i had to get two workmen to lift my scooter onto the kerb, which they happily did, its always heartwarming how helpful people can be, i collared another poor sod earlier to help me get my waterproof out and help me put it on, i always try to make sure people know they've done a nice thing that's hugely appreciated (I'd much rather not have to ask), with my waterproof today i was mostly worried about it catching in the wheels and throttling me(which is why i needed to ask for help).
