In The Room: Why Labour’s anti-Burnham argument doesn’t work

Why Labour’s anti-Burnham argument doesn’t work

In this clip from the latest episode of In The Room, Helen MacNamara and Cleo Watson break down the curious case of Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester.

As prime minister Keir Starmer faces MPs in revolt and bruising local election losses, Burnham emerged as many people’s choice for a future Labour leader, should a contest come. But what are his chances of reaching No 10? Why has Labour kept him at arm’s length for so long? And has that strategy ultimately helped the party, or hurt it?

New episodes of In The Room drop every week. You can listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch on YouTube.
