Andy Burnham tells Scots he offers 'change' from 'broken' Westminster politics
Labour’s Andy Burnham has said he will bring “change” to Scotland as he told people north of the border that Westminster is “broken”.
Presumably this is changed change, a complete change from the other change Keir Starmer promised.
At the moment and whatever the rhetoric, it may be worth assuming that parachuting Burnham into this rather odd political situation was merely a way to remove Starmer while other potential challengers keep their powder dry.
If so, then Labour MPs don't necessarily expect Burnham to have much chance of steering their party towards a worthwhile political position for the next General Election. Get rid of him once his approval rating falls through the floor seems more likely. A third time lucky approach perhaps.
Either way, let us hope we make it to the next General Election.

But the 'Blob' doesn't like any change that makes them feel uncomfortable or doesn't increase their grasp on the levers of power.
So to Sir Humphrey moving Government functions up North will be resisted. Very politely, of course.
