GREATER MANCHESTER, ENGLAND—Following their decision to block Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham from ending his mayoral term early to run as a candidate in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election, the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party has said it is still trying to think of a derogatory nickname for Mr. Burnham. "Here at the National Executive Committee, we're busy providing strategic direction to the Labour Party. Our work is vital, such as the work we're doing right now thinking of insulting names for Andy Burnham," said NEC Chair Shabana Mahmood while looking visibly exhausted from the busy meeting where NEC members were workshopping belittling names for Burnham. "We've got a few frontrunners at the moment. Such as Achy Buttham, Nasty Heartburnham, Hanky Panky Pornham, Namby-Pamby Tax Returnham, Pantie Tornham and some others I can't remember off the top of my head." That evening, Labour leadership reassured party members that the NEC would not rest until it found a suitably childish playground insult to brand the Greater Manchester mayor with. At press time, a group of MPs sent a letter to British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, warning that blocking Burnham from running in the by-election would damage Starmer's standing with party members, to which Starmer reminded MPs that he gets off on being despised.
