Will Burnham Outlast Starmer?
from Deep Dive
Andy Burnham - the 'King of the North' - has finally become Prime Minister, Britain's seventh in just a decade. In his first speech as PM, the former Greater Manchester mayor promised his government would be a 'circuit breaker', a departure from years of political chaos and economic decline. Yet Burnham governs without a mandate, an anxious bond market is breathing down his neck, and his Cabinet is full of familiar faces. He's vowing to make big political changes, but his policy platform - reindustrialisation and devolution - harks back to the 1970s. Our Political Editor James Tapsfield has been in Westminster to witness Burnham's coronation. In this episode of Deep Dive, Tapsfield sits down with columnist and host Robert Hardman to break down everything we've learned so far from our new Prime Minister's first week in the job.
