There is a racism and cohesion crisis in Britain, and someone needs to lead us out of it. His name is Andy Burnham | Polly Toynbee
I want him to start the fightback next week against extremists who peddle hate and those who despise this country. That would be true patriotism, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Just to be clear, I really want Burnham to succeed. And by succeeding, I don’t mean winning the election - he’ll probably do that, as Farage is a charlatan and being found out, and Badenoch is an idiot - I mean changing the UK’s path away from racism, extremism and negativity. I just see no signs.
