Andy Burnham: Northern PM's long journey to power
The former mayor of Greater Manchester has had designs on the top job since 2010 when he first ran to be Labour leader.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame Andy Burnham’s rise as a long-running political story, with the BBC foregrounding his ambitions dating back to 2010 and his first run for Labour leader. The Guardian US takes a different angle, tying his path to power to Manchester City’s success and, in its extract, is alone in foregrounding criticism about the city’s transformation and public cost.
