Andy Burnham: How is the new prime minister changing the direction of government?

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

One week on from becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham has now appointed his cabinet, reshuffled ministers, launched a series of machinery of government changes, and set out a range of immediate policy decisions. So what have these early choices revealed about the way Burnham wants to govern? How will his restructured No10 make a difference to the way Burnham leads? What does his reshuffled cabinet reveal about the PM's priorities? And how will the new prime minister set about delivering a "new political model and a new economic model" for the UK? An expert IfG panel assessed Burnham's early decisions, his key appointments, and the way he is approaching the job of prime minister. Hannah White hosts. With Stuart Hoddinott, Tom Pope and Jill Rutter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
