Foreign Correspondent

Foreign Correspondent this week turns its attention to British politics.

Can Andy Burnham deliver on his radical vision for Britain?

When British Prime Minister Andy Burnham took the leadership in a bloodless coup, he promised the most radical change the country has seen in 40 years, vowing to upend the way politics is done and how power is wielded.

But the scale of the mountain he has to climb is enormous – soaring debt, strained public services, deep public divisions and an increasing unstable global landscape.

On Foreign Correspondent reporter Rhiannon Shine travelled the country and meets some of the people who know him best to find out whether the so-called King of the North can really deliver on his vision.
