Does Burnham need to watch what he says?

Thursday, 23 July 2026 08:19

👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app👈       

The latest policy announcement from Burnham's new government is a 20% tax break for pubs, clubs and live music venues. That means pubs could save an estimated £1,100 a year.

Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy delve into the details and again ask, how will this be funded?

The two also discuss Burnham's communication style and if it might need more discipline now that he's in No.10. This is in light of the new PM's comments on a potential review of early prison release in England and Wales.

The Foreign Office has withdrawn its remaining UK staff from Iran as Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Tehran. Sam and Anne talk about what this could mean for the new Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.
