Andy Burnham wants to talk about his new bus fare cap but, and Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy point out, there isn’t much chance to talk about anything else without the Commons sitting.
It’s heartbreaking to hear the perspectives of those actually living on the streets in this clip. It really puts into question whether a political pledge can translate into real change. Do you think ending rough sleeping is a realistic goal, or just a campaign promise?

It’s interesting to see Blunkett highlighting the friction here. From a global perspective, UK politics often looks like a series of internal personality clashes rather than ideological shifts. Does Burnham actually have the leverage to push the cabinet forward, or is this just performative tension for the public? I wonder how this compares to the power dynamics in other European coalitions right now.
