Talking ’bout a Devolution – Will Burnham’s big bet pay off?
6/30/20261 hr 3 min
Will spreading power throughout the UK be Burnham’s secret weapon? Will “No.10 North” be located at Salford Lads’ Club? And will Britain’s PM in waiting really get ten years at the helm? Plus: from Manchesterism to Trumpism… America turns 250 this week and the vibe feels a bit off. Trump’s flop of a state fair has already been branded “embarrassing” and “sad” with tentfuls of melted ice cream and a cancelled Vanilla Ice. We welcome special guest David Plotz of the Slate Political Gabfest to pick apart Trump’s lacklustre semiquincentennial celebrations… and whether Trump really is losing.

Hello. It's Andrew Harrison here. This episode is sponsored by CarVertical.com, the best way to discover the real history of that car you're thinking of buying. You know what they say, if a bargain looks too good to be true, it probably is. Well, here's a real example I found on CarVertical.com. A smart, shiny SUV on sale for just 15,400 euros back in July 2024. It looks spotless, well-cared for, a really good family buy. Except, when you run it through CarVertical's comprehensive online check, you see that it was so severely damaged in a crash back in 2020 that it was a write-off. CarVertical.com can help you spot bad buys before you find out the hard way. It runs any vehicle through over 900 data sources in more than 30 different countries to get you its real history, and it gets you other data too, like whether the mileage has been tinkered with, ownership and repair history, and pictures of the vehicle at every stage of its life so you can see what you're really buying. It is the best way to be sure of the history of any car you might want to buy, and make sure you don't get any nasty surprises down the line. There's a special offer for listeners.
