Andy Burnham's barmy army have proved just how silly they're prepared to look | Politics

OPINION - SEBASTIAN MURPHY: I can't fathom such foolishness. How short are people’s memories? Specifically, the memories of Labour supporters. Answer: short enough to debase themselves publicly over and over again. The frothing excitement over the premiership of Andy Burnham is proof of one thing – that a shiny new product can especially dupe those who claim to be politically astute. Can they not see what is happening here? Do they not understand that every public proclamation of enthusiasm sets them up to look exceedingly silly when it all goes wrong?
