Geoff Norcott and Marcus Brigstock discuss the upcoming Labour conference, debating whether Andy Burnham will capitalize on his popularity or face internal tensions from Starmer loyalists. They analyze the release of Earl Spencer's book "Swan Song," weighing the credibility of claims that King Charles was giddy over Diana's death against the commercial motives of the publication. The pair also reflect on the "ugliness" of the Ed Sheeran boycott, service station pricing, and the nuances of autumn, while looking ahead to Burnham's potential cross-party social care reforms.
