Can Andy Burnham's revolution fix Britain?

The News Agents

About this episode

Andy Burnham has made his first prime ministerial speech to the nation, even though he’s not yet PM. He spoke of the need for a "circuit break". Handing power back to people locally. Taking it away from Westminster. It was dynamic, bold and it was energising. But is Britain ready for electric shock therapy? And how does devolution not end up with badly run parts of the country becoming even worse off?

Later, what state is the Reform party in? Could they survive without Farage if he went? And would any of this hasten a general election?
