Burnham Becomes Labour Leader

from Talk Breakfast

Andy Burnham is hurtling towards Number 10 on Monday, and there are serious concerns that the country doesn't know what it is getting itself into with him steering the ship. Cabinet predictions are coming in thick and fast, with concerns that Ed Miliband will become the chancellor as the worst-case scenario, and the foreign secretary in the best case. There are also talks of Shabana Mahmood taking on the purse strings, despite critics saying she doesn't have the CV for it. Jeremy also talks Royals and the tragedy that was the World Cup England v Argentina game. The guest lineup for today includes: Formal special advisor to the Conservatives, Charlie Rowley, independent MP for Hull East, Karl Turner, Talk's International editor, Isabel Oakeshott, political commentator, Benedict Spence, TalkSPORT reporter, Max Scott, and royal biographer, Angela Levin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
