About this episode
Keir Starmer has made his first major speech as Prime Minister and he had an uplifting message for the public: things can only get worse.
Jon and Lewis, firmly ensconced back in News Agents HQ analyse what the PM is up to and ask whether British politics can really sustain another project built on pessimism.
They also discuss rumoured changes of the Labour Party’s leadership rules (if that doesn’t make you click, what will?) and Oasis’ imminemt return to the stage.
Jon, predictably, swears from the start.
