Will Starmer sack Reeves or will she survive as Chancellor?

The Fourcast

About this episode

As the clock ticks down to next week’s critical Spending Review, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is hitting the road, announcing infrastructure investments and focusing attention on Reform-leaning areas. Is this a last ditch effort to steady the ship?

In this episode of The Fourcast, we're asking: Has Labour already lost control, just months into government? And can Keir Starmer turn things around?

Joining Matt Frei in the studio is Anushka Asthana, wrapping up two decades at Westminster and releasing a new edition of her insider book Taken as Red. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Starmer’s Labour rose - and where it may be faltering.

Also joining us is political commentator Andrew Rawnsley, who was there for the early days of the Blair-Brown era.

Can any government succeed in today’s economic climate, or are the comparisons simply unfair?
