from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
This week, Keir Starmer made a keynote speech laying out his six milestones for how the Labour government should, in his view, be judged at the next election. It's not the first time since taking office he has launched a set of campaign promises, but it's the most significant time for doing so as talk is rife about how Elon Musk and Nigel Farage could be in line to completely upend British politics as we know it. Is big money about the change the face of the British scene? Can decent but slightly boring technocrat Starmer fend off the vigorous populist challenge? Or is everything up in the air from this point onwards? Let's discuss.
