The Black Paper
Hosted by Ndukwe Onuoha and Cheta Nwanze, The Black Paper looks at UK politics through the lens of African heritage communities, many of whom are recent migrants.
The Black Paper
All hail the King: Is Andy Burnham "for us"?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Summary
Less than two years after Labour’s landslide, Keir Starmer is out.
This week on The Black Paper, we go beyond the Westminster headlines to ask what really brought his government down, whether Labour’s shift on immigration achieved anything, and what lies ahead in the UK’s choppy political waters.
And with Andy Burnham now set to take over as Prime Minister, we ask the question that matters most: is he really “for us”?
