About this episode

In a week of endless rumours and leadership speculation, Westminster is once again in turmoil - with both everything and nothing seeming to happen at the same time. Yesterday saw the resignation of Makersfield MP Josh Simons, opening the door for Andy Burnham to pave his way back into government. It will be a tough battle for the Makersfield constituency, but Wes Streeting, who resigned as Health Secretary on Thursday, says Burnham has “the best chance of winning” the by-election. So, could the Mayor of Manchester be our next Prime Minister? The News Agents is a Global production. The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
