Episode Taming Labour and Facing Down Farage: Steve Richards on Burnham's Plan
Andy Burnham appears set to walk into 10 Downing Street and take power as the UK’s latest prime minister.
Behind the mid-term departure of Keir Starmer has been, at least in part, the rise of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Farage himself has dominated the headlines this week, amid an investigation and his decision to re-contest his parliamentary seat.
In this conversation with Mishal Husain, longtime UK political commentator Steve Richards examines Burnham’s record and looks at what he stands for. They also discuss how the new Labour leader might deal with his own party and the popularity of Farage.
