Burnham's two-front campaign: gender parity pledge meets a £30bn fiscal hole
Andy Burnham launches a Labour leadership campaign built on a single proposition: the next leader will be a woman, and she will inherit a £30bn fiscal settlement that has to be re-written rather than re-balanced.

Desk note: Monexus is framing this as a transition story, a party writing its next leader's job description against a backdrop of an energy-shock-driven gilt repricing. The two beats are reported as a single transition, not as separate cultural and economic items.
