Andy Burnham did say, not that long ago,
0:02
about 6 months ago, that Britain
0:03
shouldn't necessarily be in hock to the
0:05
bond markets. And that is a line which
0:07
definitely haunted him through the sort
0:09
of late 2025 soft attempt at a coup
0:12
against Starmer. Do you think he needs
0:14
someone like Wes Streeting to soften his
0:16
image uh in the City of London?
0:18
>> Yeah, I think um I I spoke to one
0:20
analyst yesterday who said, you know,
0:23
Burnham frankly has said a lot of
0:24
things, a lot of contradictory things
0:26
over the past few months. And so, when
0:28
it comes to which um Burnham to believe,
0:30
it's hard to tell. But, the most likely
0:32
one will be the pragmatic one, because
0:34
broadly speaking, you know, people say a
0:36
lot of things when they're campaigning
0:37
to be leader, and then they say the
0:39
slightly more sensible things once they
0:41
>> Well, yeah, that was the big lesson of
0:42
Keir Starmer's leadership.
0:43
>> And so, that I think the markets are
0:45
leaning towards Burnham being sensible,
0:47
because he doesn't want uh to suffer the
0:49
similar fate of of Starmer.
