Newscast · Andy Burnham (Almost) Wins · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

So Helen Waitley, who is the Shadow Work and Pension Secretary, she said that the government was in denial, in her words, about the seriousness of the situation of our welfare system and the fact we have to make savings. voice-verified

So some of the political debate is certainly focused on that element, even though there is a real caution in what Stephen Timms has said and the government's approach more broadly, having seen the backlash when they did try to cut the welfare bill last time round. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And also in areas that are really, really complex and where any solutions that might be proposed are not going to be easy to implement because these aren't, you know, this isn't sort of one specific issue that sits under one government department. voice-verified

The interviews have been quite testy. voice-verified

And so there have been questions swirling about this element of Nigel Farage's personal finances. voice-verified

And so people are going, right, well, what's he going to say? voice-verified

Because the little tease that he gave to the announcement he was going to make talked about, yeah, his future in public life. voice-verified

So people are thinking, oh, blimey, is he going to resign as leader of Reform UK, even though the party is obviously consistently topping the opinion polls? voice-verified

Could he resign as an MP, trigger a by-election? voice-verified
