The Truth

About this episode

With the Makerfield by-election starting pistol resonating through Westminster, is Andy Burnham going to be quick out of the blocks? After being barred from standing by his own party mere months ago, to being heralded as the man to keep Reform at bay, we chart the career of the man of the moment. Plus: We turn to a Development Economics expert to ask: what lessons can the West learn from China’s economic miracle, and could it only happen under authoritarian rule?
