My opinion of Andy Burnham has gone up considerably!!

My opinion of Labour cabinet minister Andy Burnham has gone up considerably when he said today that his party lost the general election. I believe the Health Secretary, who supports Everton I think, has shown some sense of reality. His party is the main beneficiary of the first-past-the-post system with each MP taking the equivalent of around 34,000 votes compared with 36,000 for the Tories.

I am surprised by the lack of comment on how Labour can negotiate with the Liberals without a leader. It seems quite a leisurely departure by Gordon Brown. By September, there could no British Airways or British Petroleum or will Brown save the day!!
