Northern Spin hosts Chris Maguire and Frank McKenna deliver their verdict on the Prime Minister's first 100 days in office – and ask whether the early optimism can translate into lasting change.

In the latest episode of Northern Spin, BusinessCloud executive editor Chris Maguire and Downtown in Business chief executive Frank McKenna give Burnham his first political school report, marking him out of 10 on the economy, communication, international relations and his impact on the North.

The pair also discuss the growing political fallout surrounding Manchester City's owners and the potential danger to Burnham.

In this episode, Maguire and McKenna discuss:

- Burnham's first 100 days: Has the PM turned Labour's fortunes around or is it a case of style over substance?

- The economy: With inflation, borrowing and fuel prices rising, can Burnham make the tough decisions?

- The TikTok PM: Burnham's combined social media following has soared by 220% in less than four months – but can he turn online popularity into votes?

- Manchester City: Are the club's owners being unfairly criticised over their contribution to East Manchester – and has Burnham made a rare political mistake?

- On manoeuvres: Why North East Mayor Kim McGuinness, Reform UK's - Darren Grimes and economist Andy Haldane are making political waves.
