YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“I don't really know which version of Burnham you're going to get, and I slightly fear that it could get a little bit messy because for all his communication qualities…I'm not sure he has that level of conviction about what he wants to do with the economy and with the country.”
Ahead of the Makerfield by-election, questions remain over whether the mayor's signature "Manchesterism" concept translates into a prime minister role, or if it just masks a lack of conviction on policy, says the editor of The Mill, Joshi Herrmann.
Joshi Herrmann was speaking to Daniel Finkelstein on The Times at One. Listen live every Monday to Thursday from 1pm.
