The political landscape has completely shifted. Following Keir Starmer's dramatic resignation, Andy Burnham is on an unchallenged path to becoming the next Labour Leader and Prime Minister. In this episode of Political Business, Kevin and Nathan break down the monumental shift in Westminster, Burnham’s incoming transition team (including James Purnell), and what this means for the UK.

We also dive into the sudden momentum halt for Reform UK after the Makerfield by-election, exploring the emerging internal power struggles between Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf, and Robert Jenrick.

Finally, we look at the growing civil war on the left, as London borough leaders launch a major judicial review against Sadiq Khan over affordable housing cuts.

💬 What do you think? Will Andy Burnham be a successful Prime Minister, or is he inheriting a poisoned chalice? Let us know in the comments!
