How The Mandelson Files Weigh On The PM

from How To Win An Election

Sally, Polly, Danny and Hugo look at what the Mandelson files say about decision making in Keir Starmer's Downing Street. Is there a comparison with Boris Johnson's handling of the Chris Pincher scandal, which led to Johnson's resignation as prime minister?With Starmer's cost of living agenda in trouble, we ask if lessons can be learned from Edward Heath and the 1973 oil crisis, and from Tony Blair taking on the tanker drivers in the 2000 fuel protests.The team give their ideas for rewiring the nation, including moving Parliament to York and swapping the older person's bus pass for electric bikes.Send your questions, comments and feedback to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
