Episode Details

Jo Platt, MP for Leigh and Atherton, has been appointed parliamentary private secretary to the Prime Minister — a move that places her squarely in Number 10’s inner circle. As a key liaison between the PM and backbench MPs, she’ll ensure regional voices are heard. Notably, Platt hails from the same constituency once represented by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, now serving as mayor of Greater Manchester. She’s committed to revitalizing under-served areas, aligning with the PM’s vision of boosting living standards, expanding opportunity, and empowering communities through devolved power — all while staying rooted in her local constituency. This is the final major staffing pick since the PM took office.
