Labour leadership: Stuff you need to know about Andy Burnham

He plays football, likes 1990s guitar indie, has memorable eyelashes and has often been likened to the Thunderbirds' Captain Scarlet.

But enough of that, what's politician Andy Burnham all about?

This page will tell you where the Labour leadership contender stands on some of the issues you actually care about*.

*This is an eyelash-admiration free zone.

Before the general election we polled 6,000 18 to 24-year-olds in the biggest survey of its kind, carried out by ComRes.

They had to choose three government priorities from a list of 12.

The big topics were the NHS, the cost of living and education.

So here's where Andy stands, or runs, on these issues.

Andy Burnham has previous when it comes to the NHS.

He was health secretary under Gordon Brown, so he actually had the power to make changes in hospitals and affect the day-to-day work of doctors and nurses.

If he gets Labour's top job he wants to do something more radical than before by creating something called the National Health and Care Service, bringing social care into the NHS.

He says: "Labour created the NHS to free people from the fear of medical fees. We now need to do the same with care charges."

On the cost of living, Burnham says Labour "must be the party that helps everyone get on in life".

Specifically on housing he wants to introduce "rent-to-own" homes which need no deposit.

And on education he says a Burnham-led Labour government would get rid of tuition fees and bring in a graduation tax.

This would mean everyone who's benefited from going to university would pay for it over time once they start earning.

Random Andy fact: His middle name is Murray. This means if he wins the Labour leadership and then wins the 2020 general election, Britain's prime minister will be called... Andy Murray.
