Episode Details

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to unveil sweeping policy changes, including doubling foreign aid to hit the 0.7% GDP target and possibly taking over Thames Water — a move that could cost billions. Meanwhile, energy debates simmer as Labour signals a potential softening on windfall taxes and a more flexible stance on North Sea drilling, despite earlier commitments to ban new licenses. Critics are already raising eyebrows over funding, with proposals like a levy on estates branded a “death tax,” while a costly digital ID scheme is being scrapped to redirect funds. It’s a bold, high-stakes agenda that’s reshaping Labour’s priorities — and the public is watching closely.
