<p>For this week’s <em>Edition</em>, William Moore is joined by the<em> Spectator</em>’s political editor Tim Shipman, the drinks writer Henry Jeffreys and the founder and chair of <em>iNHouse Communications</em> – and former director of communications for Theresa May – Katie Perrior.</p><br><p>This week: another year, another prime ministerial resignation – it’s all becoming a little too common in British politics. The guests give their views on Starmer’s downfall and look ahead to the inevitable Andy Burnham premiership, from his policy agenda to who’s in – and who’s out – when it comes to the Cabinet and all-important role of Chancellor. Facing criticism that he lacks a mandate, not to mention how recently he was elected to Parliament, should he call for a general election? Burnham may be influenced from Gordon Brown’s failure to call one in 2007 but, as Katie warns, snap elections don't always go your way – just ask Theresa May. And do you agree with Tim characterising Burnham as Labour’s first <em>female </em>leader. </p><br><p>Also: from Burnham’s black t-shirt to Theresa May’s kitten heels, does it matter how politicians dress? Henry makes his argument that people should always strive to dress well and why – from charity shops to the app Vinted – it’s never been easier to do so.</p><br><p>Plus: as the country bakes, what’s the best booze to drink to cool off?</p><br><p>Produced by Patrick Gibbons. </p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
