39:33Now PlayingAsh Sarkar, Contributing Editor at Novara Media, and Tim Stanley, Chief Sketch Writer at The Daily Telegraph and Daily T podcast host, discuss what led to Andy Burnham becoming Prime Minister, what he'll look to do differently to Keir Starmer and how the key figures on the left and right of UK politics will look to respond. Presented by Victoria Derbyshire.
Nigel Farage has argued that he did not need to declare the £5m gift because he received it before he was elected as Clacton MP and it was not political.
Lord Mandelson has let it be known repeatedly that he believes he has not acted criminally, did not act for personal gain and is cooperating with the police.
