Episode Description

Andy Burnham’s first week in Downing Street has been full of promises - but can he keep everyone happy and still balance the books?


Hugo, Sally, Polly and Danny look at the prime minister’s first week in power, from his plans for public services and tax cuts, to the questions over how he will pay for them. 


They also discuss John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor, the fallout from the purge of Starmer allies, and whether Burnham’s approach risks trying to please everyone.
