Not me. The annual ‘Burnham wants to be leader’ headlines just before conference are more grating this year. He didn’t take on the guy who oversaw Labour’s worst defeat in a century & facilitated antisemitism, but pops up now under a huge majority & with 4 years to go?! No ta. https://t.co/hpNn8h6qnU
Market makers are nervous that Andy Burnham could become PM. . . In the space of a week his reputation has shifted from Blairite to Corbynite….If the Labour conference turns into the Burnham show, gilts could come under further pressure next week #labour#andyburnham#ukeconomy… pic.twitter.com/ogbUXIYwEN
I thought Burnham’s intervention yesterday would backfire and there’s certainly been that as we can see with Labour MP Neil Coyle’s tweet and Number 10 comparing Andy Burnham to Liz Truss.
