Who is Andy Burnham?
Andy Burnham is a prominent figure in the Labour Party, currently serving as the Mayor of Greater Manchester. He's known for his strong regional voice and focus on local issues. The story mentions Anas Sarwar joining his 'government in the House of Lords', which is a bit of a curveball, as Burnham doesn't lead a government in that sense. It likely refers to a broader political alignment or future ambition.
