In this episode, Flint experts examine what Andy Burnham's premiership means for policy and politics, as he took office on 20 July with relatively little yet set out publicly about his plans.

They explore the priorities likely to shape Burnham's and his Cabinet's agenda, the implications for business of a change at the top of Government, and how organisations can engage effectively with the new administration from the outset. The discussion will also look ahead to the pace and shape of the legislative and policy agenda to come.
