Burnham’s first conference - is there really hope again? | The News Agents
"Is there really hope again?" asks the title, and The News Agents' episode from Labour conference had a first day about eleven times livelier than a new upload on the channel usually gets. On its own, it kept close to the pace the whole channel normally manages in a day.
The description frames it as Andy Burnham's first conference in charge. It finds a surprising buoyancy among the party faithful in Liverpool, who seem to have taken to his "Hope Again" message, before turning to the less sunny parts of the week. John Healey's speech made a point of saying this is not the 1990s, and a possible diesel export ban from Donald Trump hangs over the economic picture. The episode also presses Heidi Alexander, the Transport Secretary, on why the government will not say where it stands on another runway at Heathrow.
The podcast's three hosts all came from the BBC. Emily Maitlis and Lewis Goodall both worked on Newsnight, and Jon Sopel was the corporation's North America editor.
