## Resource

Andy Burnham could be next Prime Minister, but the real test begins now—can he deliver on bold promises like cheaper energy, lower train fares, and stronger public services while juggling Britain’s crippling debt, soaring welfare costs, and a defense budget in dire need of fixing? With Starmer still holding the reins on when he steps down, Burnham’s window to prepare is narrow, and the pressure to act is mounting. The race may be won, but the work to fix Britain’s broken finances is just beginning. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
