Andy Burnham lays out his blueprint to grow Britain's economy beyond London as he positions himself to become the country's next prime minister.
Andy Burnham has unveiled his plan to spread economic growth beyond London as he moves closer to becoming Britain’s next prime minister. We ask whether devolution — giving more power to England’s regions — could boost growth, and what it would mean for businesses.
Also on the programme, the US Supreme Court blocks President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove a Federal Reserve governor, in a ruling that could shape the future independence of America’s central bank. We also ask why Comcast has decided to split its business while rivals are getting bigger, and we hear how the FIFA World Cup is already boosting spending in US host cities.
