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!!
