As much as a like Burnham I do think his brand is a lot better than he actually might be. It's hard to tell. But is he more likely to steady the nerves than Kier? Yes.

I agree with that. He is likely a better fit for the party but not so much for the parties floating voters.

There is plenty left in the manifesto to be implemented and the bond markets which are already talking loudly, will dictate the viability of giveaways.

Personally I think Burnham has to be radical to get anywhere. Moving a bit left and being a bit nice is not enough. But it is the only move Labour have left. Or they become the new Lib Dems.
