Why on earth do people want a Prime Minister who does emotion? I'm really sorry Andy Burnham's dad has died but that can't be the basis for every sodding government policy. This country doesn't need emotion, it needs some sensible policies. Sure, Andy Burnham talked about lots of policies in his speech. But most of them are trivial or will damage the economy - and he won't ever actually do most of them anyway. It's mostly long grass stuff that he'll drop when the going gets tough. Yet so many people on X and media commentators will be full of praise for an emotional speech from an emotional Prime Minister who has yet to do anything that suggests he is even vaguely up to the job.
