Ending in tears: Labour’s first year in government

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

It is one year since the general election brought Labour back to government and since Keir Starmer walked into Number 10. Instead of a smooth anniversary, the government has been forced to confront a major parliamentary rebellion and roll back on a flagship spending policy.

Jill Rutter, Claire Ainsley and Sam Freedman join Hannah White to weigh up the government’s highs and lows - and what comes next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
