The likely next prime minister might have to leave his ‘Manchester clothes’ in the cupboard when he gets to No 10

There’s a joke doing the rounds about Andy Burnham. It usually goes something like this: a Blairite, a Brownite and a Corbynite walk into a bar. “Hello, Andy, what can I get you?” asks the barman.
