@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk This, I think, was part of the price of #Burnham's crown.
He made deals to pull off his coup. One deal was to give Louise Haigh control of his relationship with the PLP. Another deal seems to be to give Mahmood & #BlueLabour a free run to continue to smash liberty, or at least to make no major retreat.
Maybe in 6mo or a year, Andy will be strong enough to dump Mahmood. Maybe he will want to. But I think keeping Mahmood in place is clear signal of no early retreat from repression.
