Burnham tests the yield point of his audience’s credulity

Andy Burnham says he holds Nigel Farage significantly responsible for UK’s miserable decade

Andy Burnham has said he holds Nigel Farage “very significantly responsible” for Britain’s failure to move forward in the last decade.

In a rare personal attack on the Reform UK chief, he tore into Brexit “lies” and questioned whether Mr Farage still has the appetite to lead. The Prime Minister accused him of giving Britain “a decade of division and drift” – and accused Russia of interfering with the 2016 referendum.

Already we see Burnham testing what Arthur C. Clarke once described as the yield point of his audience’s credulity.

It’s a useful expression because it seems to lie behind Team Burnham’s decision to use Brexit as a major hedge against their man having to shoulder direct responsibility. An understandable strategy now it has become less easy to push responsibility in the direction of the EU itself.

We may also conclude that Team Burnham has assessed the yield point of their audience’s credulity as robust enough for the strategy to work.

He had been listening with a professional pride to tales which even he would never have dared to spin, for he was an expert at detecting the yield point of his audience’s credulity.
