“Westminster is broken”: Andy Burnham sets out his leadership plan
2026-06-29 | 23 min.
This morning Andy Burnham delivered a speech criticising “Whitehall culture” and promising to rebalance resources between national and local governments.

On course to enter Downing Street in as little as three weeks, the former Greater Manchester Mayor laid out his vision for a “Number 10 North”, promising “growth in every postcode”.

But how will that work in practice? And how different is it from what’s been before?

Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea.

A critical three weeks for Burnham
2026-06-25 | 1 h 6 min.
From a by-election victory in Wigan, to the resignation of Keir Starmer, to an Avanti West Coast train bound for London, tracked by news helicopters - Andy Burnham’s return to Westminster has been a remarkable spectacle.

Whilst Burnham’s coup has overcome multiple challenges to get to this point, in many ways, the hard part is about to begin.

Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea and Tom McTague to discuss.

Keir Starmer resigns: “He’s been chewed up and spat out”
2026-06-22 | 56 min.
This morning, Keir Starmer stood outside No 10 Downing Street and announced his resignation as Prime Minister - the sixth to leave office since the EU referendum, which was ten years ago this week. He will remain in office until Labour selects a new leader.

The Prime Minister’s likely successor Andy Burnham is sworn in as an MP today after his decisive victory in the Makerfield by-election last week. Burnham has already announced his intention to stand as a leadership contender.

How did the Prime Minister come to this momentous decision, and what happens next?

Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea and editor-in-chief Tom McTague.
