Newscast · How New Is Andy Burnham’s Labour? · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

Has what John Healy has said so far as Chancellor quite matched up to the ambition of that rhetoric that Andy Burnham set out as he was preparing to become Prime Minister? matched

I think we can objectively say no. matched

He's trying to give the indication that things are going to be steady, especially in the budget in matched

A few weeks time in late October, matched

But let's see whether that changes in this big speech tomorrow. matched

I mean, arguably that's the opposite of what Keir Starmer did. matched

Certainly that was one critique of people in Keir Starmer's government was why isn't he shouting more about the progressive things we're doing? matched

People think, you know, Labour voters or frustrated Labour voters think that this government is much less left wing than it is. matched

Um I mean, I think that is an interesting tension for them to manage. matched

Look, as you lay out, and we've seen it play out on the global bond markets this week. matched

There are very good economic reasons for why John Healy is trying to project responsibility. matched

or at least bond traders vis version of what a responsible Chancellor would do. matched

It's just that they don't necessarily accord with the prospectus on which Andy Burnham became Prime Minister, or at least what he said to Labour MPs, uh and sort of to the country, uh, even though he never sort of went to the country or even to Labour members. matched

In terms of how they're going to handle it, look. matched

There are things that John Healy will talk about tomorrow which he will present as a big matched

shift in British politics. matched

Certainly I'd expect him to talk a lot about devolution as Andy Burnham has, and that is something that John Healy was hot on when he was a junior minister in the Treasury under Gordon Brown. matched

It's not just him fitting in with Andy Burnham's agenda. matched

But one one thing I think that is worth mentioning on the continuity point. matched

It's a very newscast point, but the newscast audience deserved this in each point. matched
