This week's news quiz comes from the Hay Festival of Literature and Arts.

Hey, can you lot all stop reading your novels and give me a cheer?

Thank you.

So before the show, I thought I'd blend in by writing a book.

Right, first things first.

The title, How Keir Starmer Can Bounce Back and Win the Country Round.

The end.

Right, I'll send that off to the publishers as soon as we've finished this week's news quiz.

Welcome to the New Year's.

I'm Andrew Zolton.

Our teams here at Hay were paying tribute to popular book genres and to the HS2 budget, so we have Team Epic Fantasy against Team True Crime.

On Team Fantasy, we have Robin Morgan and, from the Financial Times, Stephen Bush.

And on Team Crime, we have Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Chloe Petz.

Right, our first question can go to Kiri and Chloe.

Andy Burnham said this week that the last thing we should do right now is what?

Right.

It's not the correct answer, but I think it would definitely.

It's probably the most coherent economic plan I've heard for this country in, let's say, just over ten years.

Chloe, Andy Burnham said the last thing we should do right now is what?

None of those are right.
