Blair tells Burnham: Don’t expect to be popular

Blair tells Burnham: Don’t expect to be popular

Keir Starmer’s farewell tour is well underway – but is he destined to spend most of it out of the UK?

With an extra day in Paris for the Bastille Day celebrations and a possible dash state side for the World Cup final, Starmer is ending his premiership on the world stage – arguably his happy place.

Back in Westminster, Prime Minister in waiting – Andy Burnham – ramps up preparations for government, telling colleagues his cabinet will reflect a “broad church.” But with days to go, cabinet ministers still don’t know who will survive the reshuffle.

Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy assess the challenges awaiting the Burnham government and what his first appointments and decisions will say about the direction of travel.

Elsewhere, Rachel Reeves delivers her final Mansion House speech as chancellor setting out the economic legacy she wants to leave behind.

Plus, Anne catches up with Tony Blair. What advice does the former Labour leader have for Labour’s next Prime Minister?
