Andy Burnham is to face his first Prime Minister’s Questions, and an early test of his authority over Labour backbenchers, after setting out his plans for Government. The Prime Minister made his debut at the Commons despatch box on Tuesday, when he set out plans to devolve more power away from Westminster and into the regions, and to take back public control over utilities and services. Mr Burnham blamed the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, the austerity era and Brexit for decades of slow growth, and insisted his plans to change the “failed economic model” would kickstart Britain’s economy. Speaking with Independent Economist Julian Jessop, Talk's Julie Hartley-Brewer says: "The numbers already didn't add up. They already had a fiscal hole, didn't they?!" #andyburnham #labour #juliahartleybrewer #talk Have you got a story?
