Does Burnham need to watch what he says?
Burnham's new government announced a 20% tax break for pubs, clubs, and live music venues, potentially saving them £1,100 annually. The policy's funding is questioned, alongside discussions about Burnham's communication style and his comments on early prison release. The Foreign Office withdrew staff from Iran amid Trump's pressure, and the new Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's role is analyzed.
