Britain's New Prime Minister: Can Andy Burnham Deliver? | Jeremy Vine

Britain is about to welcome its seventh Prime Minister in just over a decade.
With Andy Burnham set to become Labour leader before entering 10 Downing Street, expectations are already sky high. After years of political turbulence, can he restore confidence in government and deliver the change many voters are hoping for?
Supporters believe Burnham's record as Mayor of Greater Manchester shows he's willing to challenge Westminster, invest in public services and champion the North. They argue his experience and pragmatic style could help unite the country and rebuild trust in politics.
Critics question whether changing leader will be enough to solve Britain's biggest problems, including the economy, the NHS, immigration, housing and the cost of living. They argue the challenges facing any new Prime Minister remain enormous.
Will Andy Burnham be good for Britain? Is he the right person to lead the country—or are expectations already too high?
