‘Utterly baffling’: Burnham savaged for two previous rejections as Labour leader
Writer and Broadcaster Esther Krakue says Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has twice been rejected as Labour leader and questions why voters should back him now. “Andy Burnham's reputation as a messiah is utterly baffling,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Manchester is a city that’s in hundreds of millions of pounds worth of debt. “This is a man who was rejected not once but twice as Labour leader. I don’t understand why anyone thinks a third time around is the charm.”

Stephen Conroy: Andy Burnham holds the key to restoring confidence in Labour
Former Labor minister Stephen Conroy discussed the rise of Andy Burnham as a potential leader and its implications for the UK Labour Party. “Reform cleaned up all the council areas in Andy Burnham's area, and what Burnham shows, he knows and has the formula to bring those Labour curious, reform voters back to the Labour fold," Mr Conroy told Sky News Australia. “More power to him, it is much harder running a government than it is running a council as big as Manchester is. “I would hope that now that there's a new leadership, he can begin to drive a restoring confidence in the Labour government.”
