Episode 29: Has Burnham got it right?

Welcome to Episode 29 of The Opinion Brief. Luke Tryl is joined by Sophie Stowers and Louis O’Geran to analyse Andy Burnham’s first conference speech as Prime Minister and break down how each key policy announcement aligns with the public’s priorities.

 

This week:

    • How viable is Burnham’s framing on scrapping the Triple Lock?
    • To rejoin or not to rejoin: is reopening the Europe debate a risk?
    • How realistic is electoral reform and what would a more proportional system mean?
    • Where next for the Greens? Andrew Fowler joins Luke for a run down ahead of the Green Party Conference.
