What does Andy Burnham’s big speech mean for Britain?
Playback speed
It’s Labour’s turn for party conference, and one speech is dominating the conversation: Andy Burnham’s.
Tim is joined by former Loughborough MP Andy Reed, who worked alongside Burnham during his early days in Parliament, to unpack the speech, the policies Burnham announced, and what they might mean for Labour.
Andy also reflects on life after politics - and what comes next when Westminster is no longer your day job.
Plus, Tim turns his attention to AI, asking what it means for Christians - and whether we can, or should, engage with it.
And, as always, Tim answers one of your questions.
