This looks stinky to the core.
It could also backfire spectacularly.
Bad for Burnham ?

Why should this impact Burnham, this is sticking to SKS and the Cabinet Office. If anything it'll help Burnham - a new broom and all that.

As far as we know Burnham has nothing to do with the Mandelson/McSweeney/Streeting/Palantir cabal.

He should make it known he would be ruthless with them.

2029 will be here before you know it.

Happened to me the LibDems and Tories. Only fair Labour have a go at seeing who can implode the most.

Delaying the files until after by-election looks blatant

And still nothing to do with Burnham. As I said, he can then be a 'new broom' and SKS/Cabinet Office gets the blame.
