@forwardnotback I don't think Starmer does much to unite this "family" (or effectively publicises that he does), to be fair, a lot of these rumours come from the usual suspects on social media, which isn't the real world. Still, no one in recent times has figured out how to keep this in check.

@Ed_Miliband Refineries close as our petrochemical industries die. Meanwhile, the car industry receives government support, while industries vital for net-zero survival fight a UK-US trade deal aimed at currying favour with Trump.

Andy Burnham on the Politics Weekly podcast: Amiable & approachable, though sometimes vague, he admits when he lacks answers. His strong values likely resonate with Labour members. Social media will focus on his EU & wealth tax stances. Overall, more likable than Starmer. #peston

Andy Burnham on the Politics Weekly podcast: "You need strong fiscal rules" - but perhaps not in current form - need a "more flexible approach" - not a scatter-cash approach "look what I have done " - in Manchester - more "cross-party" consensus

Andy Burnham on the Politics Weekly podcast: "We need to put forward a popular left offer" - housing, education, "a different way of thinking about the economy" - collaboration with other political parties. A different type of political thinking.
