## Resource

Andy Burnham’s potential rise to leadership has ignited fierce debate over economic strategy, as advisers like Lord ONeill push for smarter borrowing to fund growth—arguing it can deliver real returns without scaring markets. With Keir Starmer holding firm but internal Labour pressure mounting, Burnham’s move could reshape fiscal policy, especially as heavyweight economists weigh in and Conservative MPs sound alarms over debt. Markets are already reacting, with gilt yields climbing amid May’s borrowing overshoot—making any fiscal shift a high-stakes balancing act between ambition and stability.
