Hello, the Starmer era is coming to an end and the Burnham era is about to begin.
This edition of political thinking is being recorded on the Radio 4 Fringe stage at the Crossed Wires Podcast Festival in the great city of Sheffield.
My guest.
Louise Haig played a perhaps the crucial role in the man they call the King of the North, becoming the next leader of the country as a whole.
She looks set to play a vital role at the center of his new number 10 operation.
What's more, she is a Sheffield lass, born here, schooled here, now the MP for Sheffield Healy, and I think her mum and dad might be in the audience too.
Now, when Labour came to power, Keir Starmer
made Louise Haig transport secretary and the youngest female Secretary of State this country had ever seen.
She passed the law that will bring the railways into public ownership.
But within five months.
She was gone.
She'd resigned when it emerged that she'd admitted to a fraud offence when she was in her twenties.
Many believe that Red Lou, as she was known,
not just for the colour of her hair, but for her politics as well, had been punished for being the left's voice in the cabinet.
And recently the news statesman.
The magazine credited her for the sheer guts of her high stakes maneuvering.
To take down the Prime Minister Louise Haig, welcome to political thinking.
Louise, I want to start by just saying how are you feeling? 'Cause you're on the brink not just of a new era for the Labour Party, for the country, but for you.
Anxious and excited, what was striking in Andy Burnham's first big speech after it became clear he was going to be Prime Minister was that phrase hope in every heart.
Now the cynics can say what the hell does that mean?
