About this episode
The UK government has been criticised for its slowness in evacuating UK nationals from Sudan. But what could this mean for the millions of civilians left there in dire and dangerous circumstances? The Guardian’s John Harris asks Africa correspondent Jason Burke. Also, amid a fresh charge of antisemitism and ahead of a big electoral test, has Keir Starmer cleaned up the Labour party? Political editor Pippa Crerar and columnist Gaby Hinsliff join John to discuss the issue. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod
