Andy Burnham rules out standing for the LAB leadership – get your money on Andy Burnham
EdM’s successor? Could be
In the closing seconds of his interview on the Marr show this morning the shadow health secretary and 2010 leadership contender, Andy Burnham, was asked if he’d rule out standing the the job “in due course”.
His denial was, to me, less than convincing.
He’s come on a lot since his first leadership bid and I was quite impressed with the way he handled the interview.
Both Ladbrokes and PaddyPower have him at 6/1. If EdM does stumble on the the way to May 7th or in the aftermath Burnham looks a good bet.
