Eve of the Burnham era: Where does power really lie?
About this episode
The episode discusses Andy Burnham's devolution plans and the challenges posed by the outsourced state in Britain.
There’s a strong focus on Andy Burnham’s plans for devolution but he has identified a bigger challenge in what he has called ‘the outsourced state’, where unelected agencies and companies run much of Britain. Plus, was Burnham right not to take questions from political editors at the end of his speech earlier this week?
