"Startlingly transactional" – Burnham prepares for power

Andy Burnham is preparing for power – which means horsetrading, negotiations and planning. Ailbhe Rea has been speaking to MPs and advisors inside the Labour party to find out what's really happening in Team Burnham, who's in line for the top jobs, and why some Labour MPs are giving Burnham "the ick". Plus: Reform say Nigel Farage is having a great time. Other sources say he’s struggling. What’s going on inside the “unofficial opposition”? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Tom McTague and Ailbhe Rea.

“Westminster is broken”: Andy Burnham sets out his leadership plan

This morning Andy Burnham delivered a speech criticising “Whitehall culture” and promising to rebalance resources between national and local governments.

But how will that work in practice? And how different is it from what’s been before? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea.

Keir Starmer resigns: “He’s been chewed up and spat out”

This morning, Keir Starmer stood outside No 10 Downing Street and announced his resignation as Prime Minister - the sixth to leave office since the EU referendum, which was ten years ago this week. He will remain in office until Labour selects a new leader. The Prime Minister’s likely successor Andy Burnham is sworn in as an MP today after his decisive victory in the Makerfield by-election last week. Burnham has already announced his intention to stand as a leadership contender. How did the Prime Minister come to this momentous decision, and what happens next? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by political editor Ailbhe Rea and editor-in-chief Tom McTague.
