Today, Andy Burnham has said he’s ready to support the Prime Minister and the government in forming a “proper plan to beat Reform”. His latest comments follow several interviews over the last few days which have been taken as a sign that he might be interested in challenging Sir Keir Starmer for labour party leadership and Prime Minister.
Adam is joined by Henry and Tony Diver, associate political editor at the Telegraph who spoke to Andy Burnham yesterday.
Plus, the government says it has yet to decide if and how it will help Jaguar Land Rover and it’s associated companies after a massive cyber attack brought production to a stand still. Simon Jack joins Adam to explore the options on the table.
