Episode notes

Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall Editor of the Sunday Times, joins the podcast team to discuss his new book Get In, which is being billed as the definitive account of Labour’s reinvention under Keir Starmer.

 

The prime minister is continuing his mission to reset UK/EU relations, all while trying to work out what a relationship with Donald Trump’s America should look like. We’ll take a look at the PM’s diplomatic headaches.

 

Plus: Local elections. Or rather, no local elections. The government has postponed a batch of them. So what’s going on?

 

Hannah White presents.

With Jill Rutter and Akash Paun.
