· 3 pulledMost of us are delighted to see the back of Keir Starmer, but the fact is that ministers simply don't know what is going to happen next.
While Labour politicians in Parliament seem terribly excited about replacing Starmer with Burnham, there is a worrying lack of detail on what he would do differently or what he even believes in.
Burnham's big idea is more devolution. But I'm extremely sceptical about whether that will be anything but a panacea.
