With welfare spending and debt interest climbing, how much room does the government really have to deliver on its promises? Meanwhile, Burnham has pledged to be the ‘cost of living’ Prime Minister – but one Treasury insider tells Michael Simmons that there is… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/68359028e1abc4be6b032cd1/e/6a882856b0d5e24ea419cd05/media.mp3?tk=eyJ0ayI6ImRlZmF1bHQiLCJhZHMiOnRydWUsInNwb25zIjp0cnVlLCJzdGF0dXMiOiJwdWJsaWMifQ==&sig=dauVGMDpiW2q44sIxyl1kIGL4L7CUBohBkZ7kt-PnUQ) ## [Zia vs Shippers – and Sue Gray breaks her silence](https://shows.acast.com/coffee-house-shots/episodes/zia-vs-shippers-and-sue-gray-breaks-her-silence) _2026-08-20 · Coffee House Shots_ It continues – thankfully – to be an interesting summer: there’s devolution news, Reform taking lumps out of each other and Sue Gray has broken her silence.
