About this episode

The episode explores Andy Burnham's political career and its implications for British politics, particularly regarding Palestine and Gaza.

Who is the UK’s PM-in-waiting Andy Burnham? And what does his political record tell us about the next British government? In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed is joined by investigative journalist Matt Kennard to examine Andy Burnham’s political career, from his time under New Labour and his vote for the Iraq War, to his positions on Israel, Palestine, the NHS and the future direction of British politics. Kennard reflects on why Burnham’s record matters more than his public image, and what his potential leadership could mean for issues including Gaza, foreign policy and the wider political landscape in Britain. The conversation also explores the state of British democracy, the decline of traditional party politics, the rise of the Green Party, and whether a new political movement can emerge outside the Labour–Conservative system. 👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
