Widdecombe murder, Burnham to become PM – Start Your Week with Rafael Behr
About this episode
Rafael Behr and Andrew Harrison discuss the upcoming week's news, including the murder of Anne Widdecombe and Andy Burnham's political ambitions.
Setting up the stories of the next seven days… Police say there is no reason to suspect that the murder of Anne Widdecombe was politically motivated, but it’s not stopping Nigel Farage and Reform from trying to weaponise the killing. Plus, what’s on Andy Burnham’s plate as he prepares to move into No.10? The hard right lose their sense of humour over Count Binface . The US and Iran are at it again. And England are two games away from actually, possibly, really, genuinely winning the World Cup. The Guardian’s Rafael Behr and Andrew Harrison look at the stories that will shape the week ahead.
