About this episode

Geoff Norcott reviews the early days of Andy Burnham's political career and discusses recent Tory reshuffles.

 Politics is back with a bang and I review Andy Burnham's first couple of days at big school. The style was good but was there any substance? Also how did his pledge to avoid petty point scoring go? Elsewhere the Tories had a reshuffle and I ask what would it take to make a Tory famous? CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
