38:10Now PlayingToday we look at how Andy Burnham is preparing for government on the weekend before he’s due to move into Number 10.
He’s still to make decisions around his cabinet public, but we reveal how he’s actually keeping a lot of Keir Starmer’s staff.
Laura, Paddy and Hennry Zeffman discuss his plans for oil and gas after the BBC is told he’s planning to announce new drilling off the coast of Scotland and ask, does that give us a clue as to who the chancellor will be?
