Hope again: do you buy Burnham's big pitch?

Andy Burnham has used his Labour conference speech to set out his clearest vision yet for the country and it was a strikingly ambitious one. Noa Hoffman is joined in Liverpool by Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons to unpack a speech that ranged from a new National Care Service and reform of the pension triple lock to electoral reform, water and Britain’s future relationship with the European Union.

How radical is Burnham’s programme in practice and is the ambition matched in the detail? And what was missing from the speech?
