Andy Burnham appeared to rule out an early general election last week. But his specific wording, in a BBC interview, was slightly more equivocal. "I'm going to rule it out," he said before following up with: "I don't think people want it." He then went on to say: "I just think what I most need to do is get Britain focused..."

But what other fiscal instincts does Healey have?
