Comments come after Andy Burnham says he would renationalise water and other businesses as PM

As Keir Starmer’s grip on power appeared to be fading, the Greater Manchester mayor suggested at the weekend that the renationalisation of water and energy would form part of his policy agenda should he become prime minister.
