Andy Burnham complaining the media knew about the NEC decision before him. I'm not sure whether he buries himself in a hole and is deaf and blind to everything going on around him, but even I knew what the outcome was going to be, it was explained in clear detail. I was surprised he even attempted to go for it, knowing what had been said. It wasn't even a close decision - It's what the media do, they big you up, so your fall makes a great news story. Not saying it's right, but don't going acting the dumbarse when you play the media and they then play you, they just love biting the hand that feeds them...
