When he was Home Sec Blunkett warned that the children of asylum seekers were swamping our schools & he introduced a bill banning them from attending. Just last year he was defending the two child benefit cap. He says he has enormous confidence in Burnham & trusts him implicitly

"I've got enormous confidence in Andy Burnham. He was my parliamentary private secretary, and that's a job of watching the back of the Secretary of State with colleagues in Parliament. And I trusted him implicitly to watch my back, and I trust him implicitly to lead the country. The experience he's had over the last nine years in Greater Manchester, population three million, all kinds of challenges, including, by the way, on the issues of policing, have been exemplary. He's shown how you can build public and private partnership, how you can make development work on the ground, how you can make people feel that change is really happening. And that is what we now need to scale up in Britain as a whole. I'm confident that Andy Burnham will be able to lead it."

Noteworthy, that people 'feeling' change is happening is no the same as Change Happening.</p>
