"Startlingly transactional" – Burnham prepares for power
02/07/2026 | 53 min
Andy Burnham is preparing for power – which means horsetrading, negotiations and planning.

Ailbhe Rea has been speaking to MPs and advisors inside the Labour party to find out what's really happening in Team Burnham, who's in line for the top jobs, and why some Labour MPs are giving Burnham "the ick".

Plus: Reform say Nigel Farage is having a great time. Other sources say he’s struggling. What’s going on inside the “unofficial opposition”?

Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Tom McTague and Ailbhe Rea.

“Westminster is broken”: Andy Burnham sets out his leadership plan
29/06/2026 | 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
25/06/2026 | 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.
