from Merryn Talks Money · host Bloomberg

Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek are joined by Cavendish's Roger Lee to unpack Andy Burnham's North Star of "Manchesterism" and what it could mean for the UK economy, markets, and investors. They debate whether devolving more power to the regions represents genuine economic reform or simply another version of heavy-handed state intervention, while exploring the implications for growth, government spending, fiscal policy, and the UK's increasingly fragile bond market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
