The Mancunian Candidate – Burnham’s northern exposure
About this episode
The episode discusses Andy Burnham's rise in politics, Labour's adaptation, and evaluates Keir Starmer's tenure as Prime Minister.
What a difference a week makes… Andy Burnham is now number one in a field of one, and planning to move a chunk of No.10 to Manchester. How is Labour adjusting itself to the Age of Andy? Is there more to Burnhamism than just vibes? What about Burnhanomics? And do the people really want a General Election or can they just not face one? Plus: Forgetting all the inexplicable rabid anger about “worst PM ever!!”, was Keir Starmer actually a good Prime Minister or not? We run the rule over his record. And in the Extra Bit for Patreon people, we’ve got three comics on the pod. Was Starmer good or bad for the jokes biz? • This show is sponsored by CarVertical.com - Get 20% off any vehicle history check at carVertical.com/OhGodWhatNow • Get tickets for Ahir Shah’s next show Golden.
