‘I've seen people leave his office shaking!’ Ex-Andy Burnham adviser on ‘other side’ of potential Prime Minister

An ex-adviser to Andy Burnham has shared the “other side” of the newly minted Makefield MP, who appears set to replace Keir Starmer as Britain’s next Prime Minister. Speaking to GB News, the former night-time economy adviser, Sacha Lord, recalled seeing “people leave his office shaking” after rows with the then-Manchester Mayor. Quizzing Mr Lord on his former boss's credentials, Camilla Tominey said: “He's a nice guy. I mean, that doesn't necessarily make a good Prime Minister.”“You say he's a nice guy. Trust me, I have seen the other side of Andy,” the ex-adviser responded. “I've seen people leave his office shaking when he wants something. He goes out, and he gets it, and he bats for it.”Delving further into those memories, Mr Lord said the rows occurred “when he took the buses back under public control”.“He had to go up against several different companies. They were fighting him in boardrooms, in courts.“Sometimes he has to scream and shout, there is that side of Andy. He gets it.”WATCH THE FULL CLIP ABOVE Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
