Andy Burnham just made Britain a global laughing stock – ‘even worse than Venezuela’

Britain is turning into a bad joke, as business leaders line up to mock our government. Andy Burnham’s dithering will only make things worse.There’s barely a senior figure in the Labour Party who understands business, and it shows.
