Summary
Andy Burnham has expanded his economic advisory team with three high-profile figures as he prepares an expected run for the UK leadership this summer.
The new advisers are former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane, former Goldman Sachs chief economist Jim O’Neill and Carys Roberts, former executive director of the Institute for Public Policy Research.
Burnham’s campaign is using the hires to bolster the credibility of a still-developing economic platform ahead of what allies expect to become a formal prime ministerial bid.
