Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)

Andy Burnham has launched a major push to overhaul adult social care in England, seeking cross-party consensus for a new National Care Service. He has refused to rule out tax rises to fund the reforms. Michael Simmons speaks to the author and journalist David Goodhart about why social care should be reframed as prevention, whether salaries should be increased in social care and why the public isn't as worried as politicians tend to panic about.This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

Successive prime ministers have pledged to tackle some of the biggest crises affecting old and young: the UK's lack of vocational training and the chaos of social care. Now it's the turn of the latest PM Andy Burnham. In an impassioned speech he set out his ambition for a cross-party solution on social care but gave scant detail about how to fund it.

As drought spreads across the UK we hear calls for our water and food systems to change. The lack of water, the miserable harvest and an unpredictable geo-political situation add up to expose the fragility of the UK's food system according to a cross section of supermarkets, food producers and campaigners who've written to the new Prime Minister. They want Andy Burnham to introduce a Good Food Bill for England.The environmental charity, River Action, says too many businesses are taking water from rivers, and the Government should review the abstraction licence system. It says that trillions of litres of water are being taken from rivers, lakes and aquifers every year and that as pressure on resources grows, the UK needs a fully funded water resilience plan.The drought is causing problems for livestock farmers; grass doesn't grow in scorched fields so they're having to look at other ways of feeding their animals.

In the latest of our series of summer interviews, host Alain Tolhurst speaks to Carmen Smith, otherwise known as Baroness Smith of Llanfaes, a Plaid Cymru peer who made waves two years ago when not only did she enter the upper chamber at 27, becoming its youngest member, but arrived with the aim of making herself redundant by helping abolish the House of Lords altogether.A former carer, she discusses Andy Burnham's pledge this week to finally fix the broken social care system, what her party plans to do in office in Wales after victory in May's Senedd elections, how that fits in with the new PM's wider devolution agenda, but first, what it's like as the so-called Baby of the House, and her private members bill calling for the biggest constitutional reform in decades.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

Continuing his tour across the country, Andy Burnham has been in Barrow-in-Furness backing Starmer's investment plan into nuclear submarines. This ties together with a commitment to reindustrialise Britain and promise more apprenticeships for NEETs. But despite policy pledges on employment, the economy and social care this week – small boats have been a story dominating the headlines.

Last week, the government announced a 20% cut in business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues from April. These spaces are increasingly used for coffee mornings, parent and toddler groups, book clubs etc. - the new church hall for many - and they've become a really important "third space" for communities especially for groups that support women. The government has said it wants to protect these venues that are the beating heart of many communities. But is this announcement enough to save an industry that has taken a big economic battering in recent years? Joining Kylie Pentelow, Beverley Whitrick, Chief Executive of the Music Venues Trust, sociologist Dr Lisa McKenzie and 22-year-old pub landlady Elsa Mckenna, who's trying to make exactly this model work.Actor Vicky Krieps is known best to UK audiences for acclaimed performances in films including Corsage and the Academy Award winning film Phantom Thread. She has also appeared in many European films including Hanna, Two Lives, and The Chambermaid Lynn. Vicky joins Kylie Pentelow to discuss her latest film, Love Me Tender, a moving and powerful drama about a mother forced to fight for her relationship with her son after choosing to live openly as a gay woman. The film, directed by Anna Cazenave Cambet and based on Constance Debré's novel, is out in UK cinemas early next month.Campaigners who work with women to encourage them to report crime are concerned that the Early Release Scheme proposed by the government could put them off engaging with the justice system altogether.  Andy Burnham has since announced a pause and a review of the scheme, which would have seen around 700 prisoners released from September. Today we hear from a campaigner, herself a survivor of sexual abuse, who fears the policy and the current uncertainty. 'Sam' (not her real name) reported and helped secure the conviction of the man who violently attacked and raped her 23 years ago. A month ago, before the scheme was paused, she received a letter from the Ministry of Justice warning that her attacker would be released early. She joins us alongside Harriet Wistrich, Director of the Centre for Women's Justice.New analysis on mummies of Egyptian princesses shows they were warriors not just pampered queens with the signs pointing to them being highly skilled archers. They even carried wounds consistent with those made by daggers at close combat. It's an intriguing finding but perhaps an even bigger question is why discoveries like this still have the power to surprise us. We delve into how much of history is shaped not just by the evidence itself but by the assumptions we bring to it. Historian, broadcaster and author Bettany Hughes, whose new children's book explores the lives of people in Ancient Egypt, joins Kylie along with Professor of History Olivette Otele.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Simon Richardson

Barely have the keys to Number 10 changed hands, and the pastime of tearing down a woman for what she wears has swung into depressingly predictable action. Forget about the NHS, the economy, and the housing crisis — the real scandal is Andy Burnham's wife's wardrobe. So writes Suzanne Breen from the Belfast Telegraph.She joins Shane to discuss.

Joining Andy this week on issue 4387 of The Bugle is Tiff Stevenson and from across the pacific Hari Kondabolu. As they report on Elon Musk's plans to remake an accurate portrayal of Homer's An Odyssey following the release of Christopher Nolan's cinematic blockbuster.

Gregory Copley turns to the UK, where following the rise of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the country faces political uncertainty as Labour struggles with a lack of growth. Copley highlights King Charles III's vital role as a unifying force, focusing on British national identity and values. While the Burnham government is viewed as sclerotic and ideological, the King remains an egalitarian figure. His efforts to preserve heritage, like Dumfries House, bolster his standing. (12)1903

Joseph Sternberg criticizes Prime Minister Andy Burnham's economic policy as ineffective against the cost-of-living crisis. Sternberg argues that the UK is trapped by net-zero regulations that prevent the use of vast North Sea oil and gas reserves. Burnham finds it politically difficult to cut taxes or reverse climate policies despite potential economic benefits. This paralysis makes his government a target for future replacement. (13)1521

Andy Burnham's early promises to end rough sleeping and sort out social care won't surprise anyone who's followed his political career, but his apparent interest in the structures of Whitehall was less expected. To discuss what we know so far about the direction of Britain's new government, James is joined by Stephen Bush of the Financial Times and Sienna Rodgers of the House magazine. They talk through what the exclusions from Burnham's cabinet reveal about his political intentions, and why the tax and spending plans inherited from the last government might push him to call a general election next year.

PODCAST IS ANDY BURNHAM TAKING US FOR MUGS? WHERE'S THE BEEF?! #AndyBurnham #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #PrimeMinister #Labour #SocialCare #BusFares #WheresTheBeef  Andy Burnham has unveiled another raft of expensive promises. I actually agree with many of them—but where are the costings?  Tonight we'll separate the headlines from the hard numbers. Andy Burnham wants Britain to believe he has the answers. More money for social care. Cheaper bus fares. More apprenticeships. Help for Britain's struggling pubs.  Here's the thing... I actually support much of that. Who wouldn't want a properly funded social care system? Who wouldn't like cheaper public transport? Who doesn't want to see pubs survive or more young people given real opportunities through apprenticeships? But ambition isn't enough. Where's the beef? Where are the costings? Where is the economic plan? How much will these promises actually cost? Will taxes go up? Will borrowing rise? What public spending will be cut to pay for it all? Or are we simply expected to applaud the headlines without ever seeing the bill?  There's another question that deserves a proper answer too. How was Burnham able to secure and finance his "Number 10 North" headquarters before he had even been elected as an MP, let alone become Prime Minister? Who funded it? Who organised it? If there are straightforward answers, then the public deserves to hear them. This isn't about opposing every policy because it comes from Andy Burnham. It's about asking the questions every Prime Minister should expect to answer. If you're asking the British people to trust you with the country's finances, you should also be prepared to show them the numbers. Tonight we'll go through Burnham's latest announcements line by line, separate the headlines from the hard facts, and ask one simple question: Is Andy Burnham taking Britain for mugs... or does he have a credible plan that he's yet to reveal? Have your say in the comments.

Social care is the thorny issue which politicians have failed to solve for decades.Today though, the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham put it back on the political agenda as he called for a ‘National Care Service', saying that social care in the UK is “as unfair” as the healthcare system in the US.On this week's episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by the former Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Damien Green, Professor Richard Humphries who is a Senior Policy Advisor at the Health Foundation and the Liberal Democrat MP and Chair of the Health Select Committee Layla Moran. They discuss why the current system is not fit for purpose, why previous efforts at reform have failed and whether Andy Burnham could be the one to finally solve it.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Donald Trump today in the White House, mediators believed they were close to a breakthrough that would revive the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran last month. Reportedly, decisions are to be made following the leaders' meetup. Horovitz explains why resurrecting the MOU is not necessarily a positive step for Israel's aims and discusses other points of friction between the two leaders. Also on hand in Washington, DC, is Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who recently staged an attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. What could Ukraine's flex mean for the balance of the conflict? Last week, Andy Burnham officially became Britain’s new Labour prime minister, raising questions about how he will navigate policy on Israel and rising antisemitism in his country. Horovitz discusses how Burnham came to office, who has so far been appointed to his government and how they may influence UK-Israel relations. And finally, we turn to Israel's upcoming October 27 election and reports last night that a new television poll showed Netanyahu neck and neck with his foremost challenger, former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, when respondents were asked who they would choose to lead the country. How do these polls affect public opinion -- and how we report on the run-up to elections? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
