Andy Burnham is back in Westminster, Sir Keir Starmer has resigned and Wes Streeting has said he will not contest the leadership election. Labour rebels will be celebrating that their plan has gone off without a hitch.
Now King Andy’s attention turns to the small matter of how he might run the country. He needs to assemble a team, and a set of proposals, that can appeal to the country and – more importantly – the PLP. Will he be afforded the time he wants to come up with a plan? Who is in line to be his chancellor?

Tim Shipman and Noa Hoffman discuss.
