Tony Blair hits out at Andy Burnham doubting leadership comments

In a damning assessment, the former prime minister said the party has retreated into a Left-wing 'comfort zone', with ministers more interested in increasing welfare than boosting the economy.Sir Tony said Labour had no 'coherent plan' for transforming Britain, leaving ministers to 'totter in the breeze' instead of leading the country.He dismissed the idea that ditching Keir Starmer would transform the government's fortunes, saying that changing the leader would be 'irrelevant if it doesn't start with a policy debate'.
