Will Andy Burnham call an early election?

from The New Statesman Podcast, Subscriber Only Edition

On the one hand, Burnham may never be as popular as he is now. On the other, the PM could lose an election if he calls it soon, bringing his long-held dream of being prime minister to a horribly premature end.   Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea.
