Episode Details

Andy Burnham is set to unveil his bold economic vision this Monday, marking his first major speech since launching his Labour leadership bid. He’s pushing for sweeping devolution — shifting power and funding from Whitehall to regional mayors — empowering them to control social housing, welfare, and education for those over sixteen. This strategy, rooted in his book “Head North,” aims to end the begging game with Westminster and give local leaders real authority to drive growth. If he’s the only candidate left after nominations close July 16th, he’ll be officially named Labour leader the next day, with power transfer slated for July 20th. Meanwhile, speculation swirls over his cabinet picks — with Rachel Reeves reportedly out as Chancellor — and fierce debates over who should lead and what policies should steer the party forward.
