• Fwd from @ 📝Labour's Favorite📝 What to expect from Andy Burnham? After former Health Secretary Streeting declined to run for party leadership, the question of the party's future leader seems nearly settled. With this in mind, it's worth getting to know Andy Burnham more closely. 🔻Political Experience: ▪️Burnham is a classic Labour heavyweight. He served as an MP for many years, worked in the governments of Blair and Brown, serving as Health Secretary and Culture Secretary. ▪️In 2017, he left Westminster and won the election for Mayor of Greater Manchester, where he was reelected three times and built himself a reputation as an effective regional manager. In his views, Burnham belongs to the left wing. He advocates for returning water and part of the energy sector to public control, expanding the powers of local authorities, and making major investments in social housing and infrastructure — all things he has already tried to implement in Manchester. At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of fiscal discipline, does not promise radical tax increases for the middle class, and tries not to scare business, marketing his program as a "sensible left turn". ❗️Against Keir Starmer, the contrast is noticeable. However, Burnham's success will still depend on whether he can figure out how to plug the budget hole. On this issue, the politician has not yet proposed any plan. 📎High-resolution infographic 📎English version #UnitedKingdom #infographic 👁@evropar — on the threshold of Europe's death 💸 Support us Original msg
