The Guardian view on political donations: Labour should curb the power of big money | Editorial
Before becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham favoured a £500,000 donations cap. In office, he’s backing away. That is a mistakeOn the campaign trail in Makerfield, Andy Burnham told a democracy activist that he favoured a political donations cap of around £500,000 and wanted it reduced over time. His government is now resisting amendments that would move in precisely that direction. Mr Burnham was right in May. He is wrong now.

Burnham electrified the Labour party by talking about electoral reform – now he needs to act on it | Polly Toynbee
The prime minister has lifted the spirits of the public and party members, and must use that goodwill to push through changeHe bounded into the packed rally, a spring-heeled intruder whose very presence announced a coup at last year’s Labour conference.

Unlike needy Keir, trash-talking Andy speaks a language Trump understands | John Crace
Burnham has nothing to hide as he prepares to meet president he once called poisonous. It may actually win him more respectIt makes a pleasant change. Not so long ago, Keir Starmer was falling over himself in his efforts to keep things sweet with Donald Trump. Offering the US president a second state visit within minutes of meeting him. Everyone knows you should never put out on the first date: it only makes the other person think you’re a pushover. Sure enough, The Donald banked the marching ba
