Risking it all: Burnham scraps the triple lock
Description
An hour-long emotional address promising to “break the mould” of British politics – but will Britain buy Andy Burnham’s vision?
In a special de-brief episode from Liverpool, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy unpack the big pledges – from challenging the triple lock, creating a national care service to electoral reform and a new relationship with the EU.
Has Burnham already set his sights on his political opponents – and begun the long campaign for the next general election?
Have the targets for the opposition parties already been placed and has the PM already started his campaign for the next general election?
With no personal mandate and little money to spend, can the PM use his political goodwill to take people with him?
