21:16Now PlayingThe Andy Burnham era of politics is fast approaching – and the prime minister-in-waiting has finally set out some of his priorities for government.
As Labour leadership nominations open – with his last active challenger Al Carns officially stepping aside – Burnham’s path to power is now all but certain.
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy dissect his blueprint for Number 10, with a specific look at:
• A foreign policy vision built around plans to “reindustrialise through defence”
• A rumoured UK tour of “overlooked communities”
• A promise to be more accessible and transform his relationship with Labour MPs
Plus, as preparations for the Clacton by-election ramp up, Sam considers how Nigel Farage’s gamble could backfire and asks whether coverage restrictions will cause headaches for broadcasters.
