New: Andy Burnham is rethinking plans to appoint Ed Miliband as his chancellor, according to his supporters. Burnham’s key concern, allies insist, is Miliband’s continued support for Labour’s manifesto commitment to no new oil and gas licences in the North Sea. “People are watching their bills go up and cannot understand why we are not using the resources we already have in the North Sea. People are really angry about it – especially in places like the Makerfield constituency,” a senior Labour source said. The other job in any future Burnham cabinet likely to be hotly contested is the role of deputy prime minister. According to multiple Labour sources, both Angela Rayner, who has previously held the job, and Lucy Powell, the party’s deputy leader, are keen on the position. W/@kitty_donaldson
