Podcast cover: Newscast

Newscast

A daily news podcast produced by BBC News that provides in-depth analysis of the day’s most significant stories. Launched on February 6, 2020, it has evolved from its origins as Electioncast and Brexitcast, reflecting the changing political landscape in the UK, particularly following Brexit.

Today we look at what Andy Burnham’s plan for the UK economy is.

We reveal what he’s expected to say in a speech on the economy on Monday, who the people advising him on it are, and who he might make chancellor.

Victoria Derbyshire is in for Laura. She and Paddy are joined by economics editor Faisal Islam, who’s been looking at what a Burnham Treasury might look like.

You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Newscast”. It works on most smart speakers.
