YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“This could end up being a more consequential change than it is the consensus to believe that it is.”

Danny explains why Andy Burnham is not just a “more charismatic Keir Starmer”, as he and Sally join Hugo for an emergency episode after the prime minister announced his resignation and expectations grow that Andy Burnham will succeed him sooner rather than later.

How To Win An Election is hosted by Hugo Rifkind with Daniel Finkelstein, Sally Morgan, and Polly Mackenzie. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or live on Times Radio every Thursday from 10am.
