Episode Details

Andy Burnham’s big move: slashing business rates by 20% for pubs, clubs, and live music venues—potentially saving each a grand annually—to revitalize communities and support 32,000 struggling businesses. Funding? Targeting underperforming vape shops and cracking down on dodgy online marketplaces and out-of-town warehouses. It’s not just about pubs—it’s about keeping high streets alive, cutting bus fares to just $2, and possibly slashing VAT on electricity bills. Meanwhile, Burnham’s touring Scotland and Wales, balancing national unity with regional independence pushes. Practical, hopeful, and politically delicate.
