seems to me Andy Burnham deserves some consideration , anyone who says this about Labour seems to have the finger on the public pulse

..."I heard the same echo everywhere I went. People trying to get on in life and do the right thing felt Labour was no longer at their side.

"Our priorities were not their priorities: that we were doing more for those who didn't want to work than those in work but struggling, particularly with no children; that we were in denial about the effects of immigration - on wages, housing and anti-social behaviour - in places where life is hardest; and that pensioners who had done the right thing and saved found they were above the line for help.

We should bring down the final curtain on the era of stage-management in politics, making our party conference a forum for real debate and drama once again.
Andy Burnham

plus the "lad" is a northerner who knows the difference between Rugby league and Rugby union , another point in his favour he is a native Brit who doesn't qualify for an automatic second (foreign) passport due to his religion .
