## Resource

Andy Burnham has officially entered Downing Street, and has shook up the Labour Cabinet. In his maiden speech, the former mayor of Manchester has vowed “take power out of downing street, and carry it into every postcode in the land”.   Ministers have been swiftly replaced, from the chancellor to Northern Ireland’s Secretary of state, with Welsh MP Chris Bryant replacing Hilary Benn.  So what can Andy Burnham do for Northern Ireland?  Olivia Peden is joined by Sam McBride.  Hosted on Acast.
