Andy Burnham's Culture War Team.

Andy Burnham is almost certain to be the next Prime Minister. What drives him though? And what might he do in power?

To answer questions like these we have to look beyond Burnham’s allegedly formidable skills as a communicator. Never mind the almost libidinous enthusiasm of MPs who crowded into his selfie last week.

Champion of the female penis Stella Creasy looked especially excited. Always a worrying sign.

Will Burnham forswear his trans ally-ship that led him to pay the Proud Trust, an organisation that makes Stonewall seem moderate, £450,000 in five years?

Or will he double down?

The signs are not reassuring. For Burnham’s top advisors are far more ideological than Starmer’s team ever was. If you want to know how extreme their agenda is you only have to study the track record of Burnham’s newly-appointed Chief of Staff who turned the BBC into a bastion of LGBTQ+ extremism.
