## Resource

Andy Burnham's policy and comms blitz powers on - he is setting out his intentions early, and with a very different style than his predecessor. Meanwhile, on his second week, his government is fully appointed, but the fallout is still rumbling away in the background. Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea and Tom McTague to discuss.
