It seems like you see politics as a game of Rock Paper Scissors, but it’s not as simple as that.
Will Starmer automatically win against Farage? There’s certainly no evidence to suggest that so far.
I wouldn’t even say Burnham is particularly left wing; maybe against Farage but that’s not saying much.
Not that being left wing is inherently a vote loser. A lot of political popularity is down to personality, which Starmer doesn’t have but Burnham does (in comparison).

85% of the UK isn’t London, much of which prefer a Manc accent to a London one.
I think you’re fighting the last battle. The world isn’t the same as it was.
