EXCLUSIVE Andy Burnham interview in this week's New Statesman
On the fight against Reform, what he would do differently to Keir Starmer, and how he wonders whether Brexit would have turned out differently if he had been elected Labour leader in 2015.

Am enjoying reading as much about Andy Burnham as possible, as I still don't know what I think about him. This is a good piece: manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking...
It’s not our job as journalists to be ‘sympathetic’.
Enjoyed this moment in a fantastic piece. First time I’ve seen someone try to pin him down on what ‘Manchesterism’ means and how it’s applicable to the UK. He struggles.
“Much as I would love to dispute this unflattering designation, I fear Joshi has me bang to rights. My wife certainly thinks so.”
That feels like the all important corroboration.

This is a very funny response
This is an extraordinary, damning and terribly upsetting story — but a must-read, all the same.
This is a phenomenal piece of reporting.
This is certainly not an easy read but it is a stunning and important piece of reporting by my very talented colleague @andrewkersley.bsky.social and the @londonermag.bsky.social team.
The contrast between the care taken over the writing of this article, the evidence of its sustained pursuit of the truth, & the neglect & lies of social services & the council that it reveals, is in itself staggering, beyond the desperate sadness of the story it tells.

Watching the mayor up close in Manchester, I’ve seen his unusual gifts and glaring weaknesses. Would he make a good prime minister?
In November 2023, police discovered the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market.
She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her.
It was as if, in her far too public death, she entered the public record for the first time. Who was she?
