Summary

Andy Burnham is setting out how he plans to tackle some of Britain's biggest problems, with defence, social care and devolving income tax powers to local mayors all in his sights - but will his actions match his ambitions?  Calum MacDonald unpacks the politics of the day with Libby Purves and Patrick Kidd.
