The episode opens with Alastair Campbell framing the central question: does Andy Burnham want to win power only to give it away? Burnham's Monday speech — covering devolution, a 'Number 10 North', council housing, and a new economic vision summed up as 'good growth in every postcode and hope in every heart' — is presented as compelling, setting up the episode's challenge to Rory Stewart to agree. A Fuse Energy sponsorship follows, offering tariffs up to £200 below the Ofgem price cap and a £50 referral bonus for switching both gas and electricity.
