How New Is Andy Burnham’s Labour?
About this episode
The episode discusses the contrasting approaches of Andy Burnham and the new Conservative shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith regarding the direction of the government.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has consistently talked about what he sees as the wrong direction the country has been taken over the last 40 years. So as the new Chancellor John Healey prepares a speech for tomorrow setting out his plans for growth, we look at whether this government will be as different as it is being presented as. The new Conservative shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith is also trying to distance himself from the past. We compare the two approaches. And after more difficult questions for Reform UK and Nigel Farage over money, we ask where he goes from here and whether can recover from the damage they’ve caused.
