Is Burnham’s Oxbridge-heavy cabinet a sign of social mobility or lack of progress on class?

Andy Burnham’s cabinet includes Oxbridge-educated members like Kanishka Narayan, who attended Eton and Balliol College on a scholarship. Narayan, born in India and raised in Wales, moved with his family to Cardiff and lived in a one-bedroom home before his education. The cabinet’s composition is viewed as both a sign of diversity and a backward step in class representation.
