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? #AndyBurnham #LabourParty #UKEconomy #TaxRaid #LizTruss #Devolution #CityAM Get more of City AM 👇 🌐 http://www.cityam.com X(formerly Twitter): http://twitter.com/CityAM Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/cityam Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/city_am LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/cityam
