Brothers in arms
Despite tipping Ed Miliband to succeed Rachel Reeves as Chancellor of the Exchequer at 33/1 I would urge Andy Burnham to not appoint Ed Miliband as Chancellor if Andy Burnham wants to win the next general election.

‘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.”
