41:24Now PlayingBrexit was supposed to pull Britain away from Europe. Yet 10 years on, Britain's new prime minister is championing ideas that look strikingly familiar to Germans. So why is Andy Burnham borrowing from a model that Germany itself is starting to question? In this episode of Berlin Briefing, Nina Haase and Richard Walker talk to London-based German journalists Annette Dittert and Birgit Maass to decipher why Andy Burnham and Friedrich Merz have more in common than meets the eye, how London may say goodbye to the Westminster System and follow a more Bund and Länder playbook, how Labour’s new social policies are keen to take a leaf out of Germany’s constitutional Basic Law, and what the new prime minister and his cabinet will mean for Britain's NATO allies.
