In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s first significant speech since returning to Westminster as an MP. The former mayor of Greater Manchester set out his vision for Britain as part of his campaign to be the next prime minister and Labour leader.
They dissect Burnham’s “Manchesterism” blueprint, and ask whether his call for cross-party collaboration is actually a front for “socialism via the back door”.
