The Starmer Conundrum… with special guest Tom Baldwin

A special episode of the podcast today with real depth of thinking on where Keir Starmer has gone wrong… and why right now is NOT the right time to replace him. Tom Baldwin is the journalist who knows Starmer best. He’s studied him at close range for years. He’s still very much got the inside track on how he’s thinking. In a totally candid conversation, Tom talks to Matt Kelly about the core of Starmer’s problems as PM, what has gone wrong in Downing Street and what the next two years of government look like. It’s frank, honest and insightful. And, we hope, it’s scrupulously fair to this embattled PM. Enjoy! Produced by Matt Withers OFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.
