Many posters are saying that they don't know what Burnham stands for. this might be helpful

The piece I've pasted as an introduction is from Sam Freedman's substack blog. He's a political commentator and writer, formerly a SPAD in the 2010 tory government. He is apolitical when it comes to his blogs.

Mainstream, the Labour Party vehicle set up to support Burnham, published a blueprint for his economic policy titled “The Productive State”. It was written by Matthew Lawrence and Alex Williams from the think-tank Common Wealth and most of Burnham’s policy circle is thanked in the acknowledgements.

The report is here, though you do have to give Mainstream your name and email address before you can download it. But I should think you'd be able to unsubscribe to any resulting emails.
