Starmer Visits China and Braverman Defects w/ Tom Willerton-Gartside | Political Frenemies #44

from Political Frenemies · host Political Frenemies

Political Frenemies returns with Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert and former Tory adviser Chris Newton joined by Tom Willerton-Gartside, Head of Press at Looking for Growth, for a fast-paced scrap over the week’s biggest political stories. The trio dig into Keir Starmer’s contentious China visit, Suella Braverman’s dramatic defection to Reform UK, the opening skirmishes of the Gorton and Denton by-election, and Labour’s proposed police reforms—serving up sharp analysis, partisan tension, and just enough common ground to keep things interesting.Thumbnail Image: Number 10https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prime_Minister_Keir_Starmer_visits_China_(55066780794).jpg
