Burnham is getting the red-carpet treatment today. But it will be months before he faces proper scrutiny in Parliament. It's an insult to the public.

Now even the mainstream media are starting to notice the machine. #AndyBurnham will walk into Number 10 on the 16th. The promised leadership challenge vanished. No contest. No mandate. No public vote. No scrutiny. Just a managed handover dressed up as democratic process. On Sky, Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost practically laughed in Labour MP Gordon McKee’s face as he tried to defend the indefensible. McKee reached for the weakest excuses: Burnham has done Reddit Q&As. Frost pointed out the obvious: Burnham chooses which questions he answers. Ridge added the part Labour would rather ignore: he can simply dodge the questions he does not like, including the ones the public actually want answered. That is not scrutiny. That is a handover. Ridge also highlighted that Burnham has barely done proper interviews at all. Press conferences are not enough, especially when journalists are not allowed to ask questions. Social media appearances are not enough when the candidate can filter the public. Hand-picked questions are not democratic accountability. They are stage management. This is not someone applying to run a residents’ committee. This is the man about to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. If Burnham should face proper interviews, hostile questions, live scrutiny, unscripted follow-ups and a public that is allowed to hear what he actually believes before he walks through the black door. The staggering part is not only that Burnham has avoided scrutiny. It is that Labour MPs are now tying themselves in knots trying to pretend avoidance is accountability. The machine has moved. The media are finally catching up. And the public will never get a say.
