Andy Burnham has held many senior cabinet positions
and stood for the Labour leadership twice, before leaving
Westminster and becoming Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017.
Now serving his second term as Mayor, his profile grew over the
past year as he fought for his position and challenged the
government on imposing the highest tier Covid restrictions in the
north west of England.
Andy speaks to Krishnan about his experience leaving the north for
Cambridge university, why he feels devolution is the way forward
for the UK and how he thinks Westminster needs to change.
