Burnham, Budgets & Ball Boys

Tonight's Episode

Is Britain sleepwalking into another political reset?

This week Steve Hyland and Gordon Baxter take their usual sideways look at the week's biggest stories—with plenty of opinions, plenty of laughs and absolutely no guarantee of solving anything.

On this week's episode:

• Is Andy Burnham heading for Number 10—and does anyone actually know what he stands for?
• The UK's new defence spending plans. Is it enough, or are we still dangerously underprepared?
• Could today's drivers actually pass their theory test?
• Why are so many delivery scooter riders still displaying L-plates?
• Wimbledon returns… but so do the eye-watering prices.
• Donald Trump, global politics and whether the world has simply stopped listening.
• What employees really want from work in 2026—and has the workplace changed forever?

As always, it's two old broadcasters chatting through the headlines, sharing a few laughs and asking the questions everyone else is thinking.
