A vote for me will be a vote to change labour, because labour needs to change if we are to regain

people's trust. So says Andy Burnham, who is inching a little closer to Westminster this week,

but what does this mean for government,

for Kirstama and for everyone else? I'm Catherine Haddon, and this is Inside Briefing, the podcast

from the Institute for Government. Burnham is now the Labour candidate for the Maker Field

by-election and has declared that big change is now needed in the Labour Party. So what could that look like?

What should Burnham and other would-be PMs be thinking about in how they might govern,

and what can Kirstearner do while this drama plays out around him? If Vernon does make it to number

10, then he will follow a path once trodden by Boris Johnson, remember him, in being a mayor-turned

prime minister. So what skills does the mayoralty provide and how might they be transferable to

Downing Street? And then to what would have been the story of the week in any other week, and that's

the economic support package being unveiled by Rachel Reeves. What has the Chancellor come up with

and does it meet the scale of the Iran crisis? We'll take a look. Joining me throughout,

back from holiday and successfully moving house, congratulations, and now straight into a

government in crisis meltdown, and that's IFG Associate Associate Director Hannah Keenan. Happy to be back.

Always thrilled to be in Westminster. I mean, yeah, the look on your face suggests yes.

And also with me is Tom Pope, our deputy chief economist. Tom, I'm going to have to say,

for reasons of transparency, a question has been put to our Tottenham supporting Director of Combs.

He says, your beloved Arsenal won the title last night. As an economist, is this a good

return for the £1 billion that Mikhail Arteeta has spent on new players since becoming

manager? I promise this is the only football we're doing. I think we should do an entire

segment on it, Kath.
