Andy Burnham is something of a political chameleon. In his long career he has served in a variety of roles, adopted a variety of political positions and continues to attract a variety of opinions which are now intensifying as he closes in on Downing Street.
Among his friends and allies is Sacha Lord, the entrepreneur and chair of the Night Time Industries Association now tipped for a role in the Burnham government, who sums up why so many in the Labour movement see him as their political saviour.
