OPINION – Andy Burnham, Iran, Gaza, Israel, US imperialismIn one respect at least, Andy Burnham’s new government already looks rather a lot like the last one. Burnham has not demurred: Washington remains in command. Mr Burnham’s first days in office have also seen the appointment of former Defence Secretary John Healey as Chancellor. Healey now has a stranglehold over spending and we can be sure it will be channelled to weapons before wages. Denying Iran-bound American bombers access to British military bases, a measure that the majority of the public supports, is the obvious — and urgent — place to start.
