29:31Now PlayingBeth is catching up with Andy Burnham - the Mayor of Greater Manchester – in his office for an extra episode this week, recorded on Tuesday.
It’s just days to go until the chancellor unveils her Spending Review, and it’s expected to be good news for the north of England – it's about to get billions for big transport projects.
But is that a good enough offer to keep working-class Labour voters interested?
Burnham explains why he thinks the government could be doing better to connect with the working classes and how to keep their votes from going to Reform and Nigel Farage.
For him, it’s simple – better technical education and more social housing, something he’s working on with his extra devolved powers. Will he pave the way for national policy?
Also, does he actually want to be the leader of the Labour Party?
