In this episode, Flint experts examine what Andy Burnham’s first Labour Party Conference as leader and Prime Minister means for policy and politics, and what the announcements made at conference reveal about the direction of his Government.

They explore the priorities set out by Burnham, the Chancellor and wider Cabinet, how Burnham’s approach differs from his predecessor’s, and the implications for business. The discussion will also look ahead to the forthcoming Budget and 10-year plan, and the pace and shape of the Government’s wider policy programme.

• Sam White, Specialist Partner, formerly Chief of Staff to Keir Starmer and Special Adviser to Chancellor Alistair Darling
• Siôn Simon, Specialist Partner, former Labour Minister, MP, MEP and Metro Mayor candidate
