Listen "Is Sir Keir Starmer a Lucky General?"
Episode Synopsis
In recent weeks Labour has had some policy wobbles. These are not full-blown u-turns, but certainly a shift in position in a few key areas. However, nobody has really noticed because every time this happens the Conservatives have another disaster. On Thursday alone there was another Privileges Committee report dealing with the Partygate fallout and the Government's Rwanda policy was ruled to be unlawful by the Court of Appeal.
Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell look at how Sir Keir Starmer is getting lucky and being rather ruthless. Things are not going in favour of Rishi Sunak, though...
