Don't believe Andy Burnham's PR machine

Al Jazeera (Opinion) · back to the audit

On Monday, former Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham is officially stepping into office as British prime minister after public pressure forced Keir Starmer to resign from the post. The change comes at a time when the governing Labour Party is experiencing a massive slump in support. 'As his empty Gaza apology clearly demonstrates, he will not bring the radical change Labour really needs.' 'Burnham is not the outsider his PR machine is selling.' 'For a leader positioning himself as a break from Starmer's failures on Gaza, installing a pro-Israel lobbyist at the very centre of his operation says considerably more than a video apology ever could.'
