    The 'dementia tax' destroyed Theresa May... but was she right?

    Burnham has said the NHS ‘will collapse’ without social care reform, but what should those changes look like?

    A £2 bus fare could change your life

    Why is capping bus fares one of Andy Burnham’s first priorities?

Then, a stark conversation about the reality of running out of money before payday. Callers share what it means to go without essentials — from food to toilet rolls and tampons — and James asks why so many people still refuse to acknowledge the precariousness facing millions of households.

    How close are you to being homeless?

    In this episode, James explores what will define Andy Burnham’s early days in Downing Street: style, substance, or both?

    Why does Britain keep tearing through Prime Ministers at breakneck speed? As Andy Burnham becomes the fifth Prime Minister in the past four years, James asks what's really behind the chaos: Brexit, media frenzy or a political culture that's addicted to change?

    Should Andy Burnham decentralise Britain?

    As Andy Burnham prepares to become Prime Minister on Monday, James asks whether the new Labour leader's plan to move decision-making out of the capital is the right thing to do. Is this the start of a genuine political reset? Then, with two million parents taking their child out of school during term-time, James asks whether it is ever acceptable to prioritise a holiday over their education.
