Takeaway below ; hardly any female hosted/co-hosted podcasts are necessary “for intellectual growth”. But the really adventurous could give us a go and see if evolution takes us to the next level one day.

How COP last year hastened Keir Starmer’s demise

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Andy Burnham is off to COP31 - but where are the other major world leaders?

In the latest episode, @SamCoatesSky and Politico's @annemcelvoy discuss whether a sizeable delegation can make Britain's voice count on the world stage to tackle climate change.

I’ve had to go at explaining Andy Burnham‘s haste to reconnect to the EU - and fascination with a very Labour view of a certain era of Germany for @WELT @AxelSpringerGRN. I liked the headline.
Also fascination here with the cricket pic and his technique in the Berlin office, which I am ill-equipped to elucidate.

EXCL: @Bobby_Dean is appointed Lib Dem Shadow Chief Sec to the Treasury

Tuesday’s PASAA:

+ Antonia Romeo does a big civil service reform speech - but I'm told there’s a view in Whitehall that No10 North is sometimes acting too much like a "think tank" with impossible ideas that isn't in the room for key stuff.

+ Electric vehicles decision NOT coming tomorrow - concerns the briefing was to try and bounce the result - like Rosebank, another pre-emotive briefing designed to condition the outcome

- ⁠Milburn 1 week to go - I reveal the Tories had a call with Milburn pre-Conservative conference with several shadow cabinet ministers. The main political dividing lines next week will be overall cost and a row on overdiagnosis.

A great pleasure to be invited on Politics at Sam and Anne’s. We discussed the next few months in British politics, covering everything from Europe to welfare. Have a listen.

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

@TradeFloorAudio Less haste etc etc, have tweaked to make clear Andy Burnham the subject...

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

Andy Burnham's 10 year plan likely pushed to January

[Hugo Gye @HugoGye]

@TheEconomist ANDY BURNHAM EXC #2

The prime minister's ten-year plan could be pushed into 2027.

It was expected in December, but Burnham tells me: "We may go into the new year, to be honest... December or January, I think we will need to leave that open."

[Chris Smyth @Smyth_Chris]

Yvette Cooper confirms this morning that govt is setting up a new quango to abolish “world’s biggest quango” NHS England

This will employ NHS regional managers who are paid too much to move to civil service rate

She insists this will be temporary, pending devolution of powers

[Jack Parker @JackParkr]

SCOOP: I've been leaked a draft of the Joint Statement due to be agreed at a major EU-UK summit on 20 November

The EU's negotiating terms include:
- no foreign criminals will be deported back to EU countries
- more British cash if they want to join the EU's electricity single market
- action on reciprocal export controls and tariffs around key industries (cough cough, probably steel)

Sources tell @SamCoatesSky the UK govt won't agree to all demands - and the EU27 hasn't approved it yet either

But will any of this survive that make-or-break summit in 2 weeks?
