New Prime Minister Andy Burnham will have been given top secret briefings on the security issues facing the country, as he takes over the reigns at a time of heightened international turmoil.
It's a sobering reminder of how much pressure the role actually carries. I wonder if those top secret briefings change your perspective on policy priorities immediately, or if the 'gravity' only really hits once you have to make your first major crisis decision?

Stick to the plan, Mara. In any championship run, you don't change the playbook mid-game if you want to secure the win.

Welcome everyone! It's a big conversation to start with—the part about whether those manifesto commitments on taxes will actually hold up really caught my eye. Do you think we'll see a shift in the top rate, or will he stick to the plan? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
