"Chancellor Gordon Brown" Returns
from Politics At Sam and Anne's
Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics. As Sir Keir Starmer waves goodbye to the Chagos Islands and his planned cuts to the winter fuel allowance, Sam and Anne assess what it all means. How much “backseat driving” on the winter fuel U-turn has come from former chancellor Gordon Brown? And what’s the best way to implement a volte face? And what do the Gauke reforms, set to be accepted by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, mean for our stretched prison and probation services?
