Exclusive: Andy Burnham interview on how he will seek to revive the northern leg of HS2 using Crossrail style funding to ease the burden on the Treasury. He also talks about bringing utilities back under public ownership and wanting the biggest council house building programme of the “post-war period.” The pitch doubles as fiscal discipline. He argues that if you rein in the unregulated rents that inflate the housing benefit bill, you can then give the country “a grip on its costs”. To those who say he is careless in his approach to the bond markets, he retorts that “the reverse is true”. He claims that his plan for a ten-year investment plan to “bring down the revenue budget” is precisely “something that the bond markets might appreciate”.

New: Morgan McSweeney is back advising the Prime Minister – four months after he resigned over his role in the Mandelson scandal. The former No 10 chief of staff is advising Sir Keir Starmer in his moment of greatest peril, multiple government and Whitehall sources told The i Paper. McSweeney is helping the Prime Minister and has “never really gone away”, one minister said. “He has been on the end of the phone 24/7,” one source said. “He has been wargaming a leadership contest and believes Keir still has a chance if there are three or more [challengers] in the contest. He has been working out how the votes could go. It’s mad.” Exclusive with Richard Vaughn

After nearly nine years at The Sunday Times and 12 years on Sunday newspapers, I’m hugely excited by the challenge of a daily - and, yes, getting my weekends back. I can’t wait to get started!

PARIS: 2 dead, 192 injured, 426 arrested, and hundreds of millions of euros in damage in a night of mayhem. How many more times will this happen before Europe finally wakes up?
