Summary

Andy Burnham is being swept to power by Labour on a 'tidal wave of obsequiousness' - is he making the best use of his moment of maximum power? Why is there a backlash against Count Binface? And what is 'posh boy summer'?  Ed Vaizey is joined by Alys Denby and Michael Binyon to unpack the politics of the day.  You can hear more of Ed on Times Radio every Friday, 10am-1pm. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
