Burnham's first day

from Wake Up to Money · host BBC Radio 5 Live

Andy Burnham begins his first day as Prime Minister, with attention turning to the shape of his new government and what it could mean for businesses, workers and the wider economy. We’ll look at the early decisions facing his administration, from taxes and public spending to growth and confidence. His government is already considering nationalisation for ailing Thames Water - what does this mean for customers and the taxpayer? And as the World Cup comes to an end, we find how the big supermarkets plan for big sporting events.
