Andy Burnham is on track to become Britain’s next prime minister, but we don’t yet know who he’ll pick as chancellor.
Could it be Ed Miliband, or would he spook the markets? Perhaps Yvette Cooper is a safe pair of hands, or could Wes Streeting get the keys to Number 11 despite his “brazen disloyalty” to his last boss?
On this week’s Talking Politics, Tom and Robert ask what a Burnham government could look like, and break down what his major policy changes could be.
Plus, Peston gives his advice to the next PM on welfare, defence and the pension triple lock.
Contains mild language.
