## Resource

On today's episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald and Geoff Aberdein react to Andy Burnham's first major speech as presumptive Prime Minister. Will his plans to 'rewire Britain' and run some of the UK government from the new Number 10 North (of England), be beneficial or harmful to those living in Scotland? Will Andy Burnham be a Prime Minister for the whole of the UK and not just England? What will further devolution in Scotland mean, could we see metro-mayors appear across the country? ... and can the probable PM actually connect with voters once in power, something that Keir Starmer has failed to do so? Later in the show Calum, Geoff and Andy answer some of your questions, including Whether a independent pro-union party in Scotland mirror the CDU-CSU arrangement in Germany? ... and what would real fiscal autonomy mean for Scotland, government spending and the independence movement?
