Welcome to The Rest Is Politics with me, Rory Stewart.

Alastair Campbell (0:24)

And me, Alastair Campbell. And we are delighted to be with Andy Burnham, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. We are going to be asking him about Europe. What does he mean when he says we're going to get closer to Europe? We're going to be talking about the Brexit referendum. Did the Russians interfere? We're going to be talking about Ukraine and defence. How are they going to get to the level of defence spending that we need? And what is going to happen on pensions? What is going to happen on the triple lock? And how are they going to fund social care? And when is the National Care Service going to start?

We're going to talk about Manchester City. Big scandal brewing. We're going to be talking about him, his faith, his family, his emotion. And we're going to be asking, how did he become Prime Minister? Why did the Starmer Project fail in the way that it did? All this and more coming up with me and Rory and Andy Burnham.

This episode is presented by IG. October is here and we're barrelling towards the biggest financial moment of the year, the budget.

Between that and you, Chancellor, and the new Prime Minister, there's genuine uncertainty about what's next for our finances.

Rory Stewart (1:28)

And of course, uncertainty is a massive problem for all of us. Rumours, speculation, opinions from absolutely everybody. And the trick to navigating all this noise, whether in politics or business, is to try to know exactly where you stand.

Alastair Campbell (1:42)
