Calls for Burnham to Quit

After a disastrous first 14 minutes as Prime Minister (Designate) voices within the Labour Party are beginning to say that it may be time for Andy Burnham to go.
The last quarter (of an hour), in which very little actual change has been perceived in the country, has seen his poll ratings flatline, and the sense that 'Britain is broken' lingers with the electorate.
In all this time as leader (designate) he has only made two public statements, and none of these have addressed the fundamental problems in the country, problems which are fundamentally part of the everyday lives of the fundamental voters.
Unless Burham can reverse this swing against him, he faces an increasingly uphill battle to rally MPs and win over public opinion.
Several names have been mentioned as successors, but as yet no clear favourite has emerged, largely because they are all very poor choices. Each potential candidate has their own obvious personal and professional flaws. So any of them could end up as PM.
