Burnham Could Crack Under The Pressure of Welfare Reform | Ed Vaizey

“He seems to be a man who wants people to like him.” Burnham has a better chance than Keir Starmer of delivering welfare reform, but it is unclear whether he would back down when pressured by backbenchers, says Times Radio presenter and former Conservative minister Ed Vaizey. He adds that Burnham has had a relatively “easy ride” as Manchester mayor. Ed Vaizey and Manveen Rana were speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast.
