‘Nearly the barmiest idea I’ve ever heard’: Labour’s Rachel Reeves sounds out ‘socialist’ supermarket price caps with supermarkets | Also: Andy Burnham on trans

Scrutiny of Andy Burnham, Labour’s candidate for Makerfield, continues. As the Labour party wrangles over who should be leader, Andy Burnham is hoping a successful campaign in Makerfield will prove to party and country that he can beat Reform and turn a hitherto spectacularly unpopular government around. But after his U-turn on Brexit, now his commitment to trans ideology is coming under fire… as his previous comments suggesting that trans-identified men should have access to women-only spaces emerged.  Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves has reportedly been discussing voluntary price caps with supermarkets – to keep the prices of essential goods down. Immediately, a furious reaction from retail groups ensued. Karl Turner MP calls it ‘nearly the barmiest idea I’ve ever heard’. Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.
