@ChrisMayLA6 It has been unusual for a former #primeminister of the #uk to try to exert influence of any kind nearly twenty years after leaving office - most of them would have been dead by then . The closest parallel would be #davidlloydgeorge who was still very much around in the early 1940s. He remained an appeaser well after others - including even #nevillechamberlain - had ceased to be.

Many thanks to Gerry Hassan for spotting this excellent article on #AndyBurnham by Joshi Herriman in The #ManchesterMill: https://manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking-for-burnhamism-in-six-years-ive-never-found-it/
