About this episode

The episode discusses Andy Burnham's ascension to prime minister and the implications for policy and government.

The day has finally come after much anticipation...Andy Burnham has become the prime minister today. There are still serious concerns about him, with no one really sure what this changing of the guard will mean in real terms. What will the direction of policy be? Who will be the top picks for the converted Cabinet jobs? Whose nose will be out of joint after being booted out? So many questions and still very few answers. Join Jeremy Kyle and his star guest line-up as they discuss the potential outcomes of Burnham's coronation as King of the North, South, East and West. Today's guests include: Assistant comment editor at the Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, former Conservative government minister, Steve Baker, Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin; Independent MP for Hull East, Karl Turner, and Talk's very own presenter Peter Cardwell, and reporter Samara Gill. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
