Russia Interfered In Brexit Referendum | UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham

Europe, openness and the business of governing give Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell plenty to ask Prime Minister Andy Burnham about. Their full conversation on The Rest Is Politics: Leading has passed half a million views, with an estimated first-day audience roughly sixteen times the channel's usual start for longer videos.

The interview, titled "Rory & Alastair Interview Prime Minister Andy Burnham", asks how he will change Britain's relationship with the EU and why he has agreed to publish details of meetings with Manchester City's owners. Those are concrete questions about both policy and access: what the government intends to do, and what the public will be able to see.

Leading has also broken out individual subjects into shorter uploads. One focuses on Burnham's promise to change how government supports young people; another addresses the publication of his meetings. "What went wrong for Starmer?" has had an unusually strong start of its own, extending the channel's discussion beyond the full interview.

In the comments beneath the conversation, viewers raise closer EU ties and proportional representation. Others focus on the format itself, discussing the value of politicians taking questions in a long-form interview rather than a brief exchange.
