‘Political chameleon’: Andy Burnham has ‘U-turned’ on every issue

Spiked Online Editor Tom Slater says newly elected Labour MP Andy Burnham is a “political chameleon” who has “U-turned on absolutely every issue he has ever talked about”. ​“Next to Keir Starmer, he looks a lot more human, a lot more capable,” Mr Slater told Sky News host Caroline Marcus. ​“Andy Burnham is someone who is a bit of a political chameleon. He has U-turned on absolutely every issue he has ever talked about. ​“I think in time the public will start to see that really he is not that far away from Starmer, who was also famous for U-turns. ​“If we’ve got a few more years of an unelected prime minister, then there might be more time for the public to realise that Burnham is a lot more like the rest of them.”
