Andy Burnham's Scotsman article criticised as 'tartanised copy and paste' with factual errors on Scotland

Andy Burnham's pitch to Scottish voters was a "tartanised copy and paste" job that made multiple errors about Scotland's political set-up, it has been claimed.

The Makerfield MP, who is widely expected to become the next UK prime minister in weeks following Keir Starmer's resignation, penned an article for the Scotsman laying out his pitch to voters north of the Border.

In the piece, which appears to be slightly adapted from the statement made at the People's Museum on Monday, the former Manchester mayor makes a number of inaccurate statements about policies in Scotland.
