Is Andy Burnham the Left's Liz Truss?
Jun 30, 2026
Andy Burnham has vowed to end "politics as usual" with a sweeping economic vision for the UK, but who is going to pay for it?
In this clip from the Business as Usual podcast, City AM's Editor-in-Chief Christian May breaks down Burnham's highly ambitious devolution agenda. From state-controlled utilities to a massive council house building program, we dissect why this "Number 10 in the North" playbook mirrors the unmandated, high-risk economic rewriting of the Liz Truss era, and what it means for your wallet.
Tell us what you think in the comments: Can the UK afford Burnham's vision, or are we heading for another fiscal nightmare?
