Episode Details

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is rolling up his sleeves to tackle the cost of living crisis, mulling over bold moves like raising the personal tax allowance and possibly bringing back the controversial 50p tax rate for top earners to fund relief. While he dodged a direct yes or no on reinstating the high tax, he signaled openness — especially as he’s still settling into the role. His plan includes slashing energy bills and bus fares, all fully funded, aiming to restore hope and stability. Burnham admits people are fed up with broken politics and vows his generation will fix it. With John Healey as chancellor, he’s launching a fresh start, determined to rebuild trust in government after a turbulent leadership shuffle.
