Newscast – What is Andy Burnham’s plan to force out of London?

Available for over a year.

Today, Adam and Alex take a deep dive into Andy Burnham’s plans to take power out of Westminster and Whitehall and spread it across the UK. Little has been said about Burnham’s plans to revive his empire, but it’s clearly high on his to-do list. Adam and Alex are joined by Ant Brecht, director of policy and research at the Cities Centre, to explore what devolution might look like in the UK and what the challenges might be.
