- Andy Burnham's biggest announcement – in a conference speech littered with the things – was his ambition to create a National Care Service, which he said would be as significant as the NHS.
We can't fault his ambitions especially as, at Quiet Riot, we have all had dealings with care services and know only too well how threadbare and inadequate present provisions are.
That big ambition, of course, comes with a lot of very big questions – not least about funding his plans. Join Alex, Naomi and Kenny as they did a little deeper into the realities and politics of what is going on.

If you liked what you heard, then there's a good chance you think it was the best such speech in a decade if not more; if you didn't, then you probably realise that battling Burnham isn't going to be like battling our other recent PMs.
Naomi, Alex and Kenny break Burnham's big number down into bitesize chunks, because there is a LOT to digest. And they'll be back with B-Side to look at the social care proposals in more detail.

Do we believe him? Is it a smart call? Does anyone outside of the Westminster bubble actually want a General Election any time soon?
Alex and Kenny ponder all of that, and take some time to dwell upon what happened in that other political bubble, Trump World, when Xi Jinping came to talk ... was there a winner?
PLUS tiny acts of rebellion – a celebration, in honour of the angry fellow filling potholes with palm trees, as you do.

And so Andy Burnham's first face-to-face with Trump passed off without blood being spilled, although Chagos islanders may disagree with that interpretation.
Alex and Kenny are joined by geopolitics expert, former diplomat and host of Behind The Lines Arthur Snell, to dig under the surface of this week's shenanigans at the UN General Assembly, and find that Chagos was very much a side issue to everyone except the British media. But there was a lot more to discuss...
PLUS you may think Alex and Kenny barely have a brain between them, but what if they actually have FOUR? Listen in to find out more...
