Episode Details

Tony Blair’s latest essay stirs controversy within Labour, warning against a “dangerous” leftward drift and calling for ditching net zero and minimum wage hikes — sparking fierce pushback from Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer. Burnham defends interventionist policies, citing Manchester’s success as proof market forces alone don’t work, while Starmer counters with evidence of economic growth and improved public services. The debate centers on whether Labour should prioritize state control over key sectors or embrace market-driven pragmatism — a core philosophical split shaping the party’s future ahead of elections.
