Politics Show: Devolution, defence and Kate Forbes

Political analysis with David Wallace Lockhart, James Matthewson and Stewart McDonald.

This week, Andy Burnham (pictured) announced plans to expand the prime minister’s office to Manchester and create a 'No. 10 North' as part of a 'rewired Britain' if he becomes Labour leader.

David talks to former SNP MP Stewart McDonald and former Labour adviser James Matthewson about how Burnham’s devolution plans are being received in Scotland, the delayed defence investment plan and Kate Forbes’s appearance at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference.
