About this episode
The episode discusses Andy Burnham's early challenges as Prime Minister and the implications of Jason Arday's autobiography on truth in publishing.
The Matts think about Andy Burnham’s first month (and a bit) in Downing Street and anticipate a period of difficulty ahead for a PM whose inclination may be to keep people happy in an age when dramatic change is required. In the second half, what does the release of Jason Arday’s autobiography tell us about attitudes towards truth in publishing?
