  1. Andy #Burnham will be the 19th UK Prime Minister since 1940, & the 1st #Cambridge grad of the 19.

    Since 1940, 14 of 18 PMs went to Oxford, 1 (Brown) to Edinburgh. 3 (Churchill, Callaghan, & Major), didn’t do university.

    In all, Cambridge has produced 14 PMs against Oxford’s 31. But for 85 years, Oxford has dominated.

    #Andy brands himself as a northerner. But in Westminster & Whitehall, the #Cantab label will be much more defining.

    #Oxbridge still rules. 🤮
