Burnham And Streeting Hit Back At Tony Blair Criticism. Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting have criticised former Prime Minister Tony Blair after he accused Labour of lacking a “coherent plan” for the country. In a lengthy essay, Blair argued the government had introduced policies that were damaging businesses and urged Labour to embrace the “radical centre” rather than move further left. But Burnham and Streeting said Blair failed to properly address the growing impact of inequality on British politics. Burnham claimed Blair did not mention inequality once in the essay and warned that many people can no longer afford things once considered normal. The Greater Manchester mayor is widely expected to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership if the prime minister faces a formal contest. Streeting has also confirmed he would stand in any future leadership race. The criticism comes as pressure continues to grow on Starmer following poor election results and internal party tensions.
