as posted by the channel

There is considerable intrigue around Andy Burnham's possible cabinet, not least because the eldest Miliband brother is being linked to the position of Foreign Secretary. This is Miliband v Miliband round 2. Is Burnham ready?

Burnham's debut speech caused headlines with his bold plans to reshape the British state. But there are difficult questions lurking behind the rhetoric, namely what does any of it actually mean? Plus, with Reform UK gearing up for a fight and rivals already sharpening their attacks, is Burnham ready for the political battles ahead?
