I suppose if Sir Keir Starmer has his own thread then Andy Burnham deserves one too. Not, you note, Andrew Burnham, but the diminutive, possibly there as man of the people, someone you can have a pint with down the pub akin to Nigel Farage, or maybe he's always been known like that and it's just the workings of my over-suspicious mind.
Raised in relatively prosperous Culcheth, he made it to Cambridge on his own talents and deserves respect thereby.
He claims that UK plc has been on the wrong track for forty years, conveniently forgetting he was part of the Blair and Brown governments 1997-2010. It will, however, go down well with the former mining villages of Standish, Orrell, Ince and Ashton itself.
He survived the Staffordshire NHS controversy and the £800 million loan to Renaker to build four white elephants, but at the end of the day it's only taxpayers' money, isn't it Andy?
