Is Andy Burnham the Next Labour Prime Minister? w/ Matthew Goodwin-Freeman | Political Frenemies #57

from Political Frenemies · host Political Frenemies

On this week’s Political Frenemies, former Tory adviser Chris Newton and Lib Dem commentator Mathew Hulbert are joined once again by Tory councillor and commentator Matthew Goodwin-Freeman for a no-holds-barred tour through another chaotic week in Westminster. With Labour gripped by mounting questions over its leadership and Andy Burnham signalling his return to frontline parliamentary politics, the trio dissect the power struggles reshaping Britain’s political landscape. They also unpack Kemi Badenoch’s fiery King’s Speech broadside, Zack Polanski’s bruising few days in Green politics, and ask whether the Liberal Democrats are quietly giving up on urban Britain in pursuit of a different electoral coalition. Sharp analysis, lively disagreements, and plenty of political sparring guaranteed.
