If so, it ought to focus minds on Purnell's tenure at DWP, where the heartless, bullying "Welfare Reforms" that the subsequent Coalition government rightly got pelters for, were planned and introduced, under a Labour government. 
I have largely resisted rushing to join the anti Burnham chorus, but if you're set on foregroudning "controls on immigration" and "Welfare Reform" and you're handing yet another New Labour Ghoul from the fag end of their tenure a job, you're not exactly changing course are you?
With every hour that passes it is looking more like the primary motivation for Andy Burnham in becoming leader of the Labour party and PM is to right the historic injustice of Andy Burnham not having already become leader of the Labour party and PM.
But hey, who knows, maybe James Purnell is *exactly* the guy you want to help you unravel "40* years of neoliberalism"
* it's 50 Andy. 50. And actually many of your guys were won over to the arguments well before 1976, due to hanging round the IEA and having their heads turned.
