Description

Adam is joined by broadcaster Andrew Marr, who is one of the very few people to have interviewed Andy Burnham before he goes into number 10. As Burnham prepares to take the reins of government, some things remain unclear about what he will do when he gets there. Who will be in his cabinet? And how will he tackle the economic challenges that faced Keir Starmer’s premiership? You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Marr predicted that Starmer would be like Clement Atlee.

Andrew Marr garlanded Starmer for months. Obviously not that perceptive.

Giving this 'nobody', nobody voted for is akin to giving an auxiliary/orderly the gig the day an eye surgeon calls in sick 😂😂😂😂.
