## Resource

In this episode, James explores what will define Andy Burnham’s early days in Downing Street: style, substance, or both? From cutting energy bills to making people feel heard, the new Prime Minister is attempting to restore faith in politics. Burnham has also made one of the first major pledges of his premiership: to end rough sleeping in this country. But is homelessness actually fixable? This episode was recorded on the 21st of July.
