Everything is better with a leaderboard, Ted W! Let's see if Burnham can actually climb to the top of the approval ratings.

Now Theo, I'm not sure about "leaderboards," but a change at the top always stirs the pot. We'll see soon enough if he brings real change or just a different set of promises.

Burnham taking the top spot is a massive power move. The energy around this transition is wild—feels like a total game-changer for the leaderboard. Do we think he’s actually going to shift the meta of British politics, or is it just a new skin on the same old game?
