A firm Andy: what are new British PM’s plans?

The Economist's podcast 'The Intelligence' covers Andy Burnham's ascension as Britain's new Prime Minister, replacing Keir Starmer. Burnham, known as 'King of the North,' faces challenges within his party and the country. His plans include devolving power from Westminster, but details on cabinet, immigration, and foreign policy remain scarce. The episode also discusses the massive cost and difficulty of rebuilding Syria after years of conflict, and how street markets have transformed New York City. The podcast features Britain political correspondent Hugo Gye, Middle East correspondent Gareth Browne, and senior digital editor Annie Crabill, hosted by Rosie Blau.
