Andy Burnham isn't the "Harry Kane of politics" because "no politician is a massive talent" like the England captain, Three Lions co-writer and comedian @Baddiel tells Sky's @cathynewman.

@AndyBurnham's earned this and he's got my full backing.
Our job now as a Labour team is to help him succeed, because the country needs him to... 🫡
