Inside Andy's Brain is a searchable archive of the public record of Andy Burnham: every House of Commons speech, question and division vote from his years as MP for Leigh (2001 to 2017), his ministerial speeches, his statements as Mayor of Greater Manchester (2017 to 2026), records of his June 2026 return to the Commons as MP for Makerfield, his 2026 Labour leadership campaign, and full-text extracts of the government reports behind his major campaigns.
This site was built by Tom Watson as part of a coding training project, working with Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, which wrote the code under his direction. It is an independent, unofficial archive. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Andy Burnham or the Labour Party.
Everything here is drawn from publicly available sources, and every search result links back to the original record so you can check it for yourself. Nothing is quoted without a source.
It is not a complete account of everything Andy Burnham has ever said. Notable gaps, marked openly in the archive, include broadcast interviews, podcast appearances and Mayor's Question Time transcripts. The search matches words in the records; it does not interpret opinions or positions.
