This week we're asking: Can Burnham Win on Water?
With public anger over sewage, rising bills and failing infrastructure showing no sign of going away, the debate over who owns our water has moved from the margins to the mainstream.
This week Lena was joined by two expert guests to help us navigate the topic:
Professor Ewan McGaughey, is a legal scholar at Kings College London and expert on public ownership.
Cat Hobbs is founder and director of leading campaign group We Own It.
Listen to find out more about how water became one of the defining political issues of our time, what Andy Burnham's interventions mean, and whether public ownership is finally moving from a campaign to political reality.
