About this episode
Happy 1st anniversary, Keir Starmer.
He wanted to be talking about what he sees as Labour’s achievements after 12 months in goverment and his 10-year plan for the NHS.
But, after another dramatic policy U-turn and the sight of his own chancellor crying at PMQs, when he kept his support for her slightly vague, Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson discuss if his start in office has been shattered by this week.
They also wonder if the solution to make relations with his own MPs a bit easier would be to make better use of Angela Rayner.
