Independent TV Showing now | In The Room 35:36 In The Room | Too much Manchester? Andy Burnham’s first big interview unpacked Andy Burnham finally sat down to face some old-school scrutiny this week. After weeks of winning praise for his social-first approach to communications – Britain's first TikTok Prime Minister? – he finally sat down for a proper grilling with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg. Today, we unpack his performance. How did he handle the tough questions on Trump and Putin? Is he talking about Manchester a little too much? And beyond the polished messaging, does he sound like a Prime Minister with a convincing plan to govern? Meanwhile, No.10's policy fruit machine spun again with a surprise overhaul of technical education, and Count Binface launched a manifesto that might just be the clearest piece of political communication of the week. New episodes of In The Room drop twice a week. You can listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. [Image text:] ROTHE ROTHS
