23:37Now PlayingAndy Burnham has thrown the future of assisted dying into doubt. After telling Sam Coates that he does not want legislation to proceed until social care and palliative care are "fixed", supporters of the bill insist they are pressing ahead. But has the Prime Minister's intervention made its passage through Parliament far less likely?
Sam and Anne examine what Burnham's comments mean for MPs ahead of the crucial September vote.
Plus, new polling from POLITICO shows again the ‘Burnham bounce’ as his approval rating goes up in every demographic, except one – Reform voters. What will this mean in the long term?
And, before Sam and Anne take some time off over summer, what do they make of Burnham’s first two weeks?
