Burnham’s Unity Promise Already Faltering

“Andy Burnham wanted to take over as Britain’s prime minister on a wave of hope, positive vibes and a promise to end the Labour Party infighting that marred Keir Starmer’s premiership. That optimism is fading before he’s even taken office,” Bloomberg reports.

“Burnham will complete his ascent to power when he enters 10 Downing St. on Monday. Yet even some of his own supporters fret that his transition into government has been dominated by a policy vacuum, indecision in his inner circle, a high-profile falling out with one of his main allies and a nascent rebellion from Labour’s left flank — the faction that fought to get him the job in the first place.”
