Columnist Sarah Vine thinks Labour Party women are too captivated by Andy Burnham's charisma, questioning if his regional appeal translates nationally. She warned that the Greater Manchester Mayor should not be regarded as an infallible leader, observing that female admirers surrounded him at Manchester Piccadilly. It was reported that even Rachel Reeves avoided attending Sir Keir's speech announcing his departure, choosing instead to stand uncomfortably close to him.
