The episode opens with co-hosts Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan discussing Andy Burnham's recent appointment as Prime Minister after Keir Starmer's resignation, noting a northern-heavy cabinet and John Healey as Chancellor. They critique a 5% VAT cut on electricity bills as insufficient (86p/week for six months) and warn of borrowing, debt servicing above 5% gilt yields, and net zero costs. The second half features an interview with Reform UK's Leila Cunningham on immigration, sovereignty, and the murder of Anne Widdecombe, followed by listener emails and light discussion of the World Cup.
