Electoral Dysfunction

Why Labour needs to focus on the working class, with Andy Burnham


Listen Later

Beth is catching up with Andy Burnham - the Mayor of Greater Manchester – in his office for an extra episode this week, recorded on Tuesday.

Burnham explains why he thinks the government could be doing better to connect with the working classes and how to keep their votes from going to Reform and Nigel Farage.

Also, does he actually want to be the leader of the Labour Party?
