Welfare U-Turn: Is this the Beginning of the End for Starmer? | Political Frenemies #20

from Political Frenemies · host Political Frenemies

In this punchy episode of Political Frenemies, Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert and former Tory adviser Chris Newton go head-to-head over Keir Starmer’s welfare U-turn—was this the right thing to do, and is this a reflection of a totally dysfunctional Labour operation? They weigh the fallout for Starmer’s leadership and ask: are his days as PM numbered? The frenemies also tackle Reform UK's eyebrow-raising Britannia Card proposal, Kemi Badenoch's swipe at Starmer's PMQs absences, and the Lib Dems' response to the US strikes on Iran. It’s fiery, it’s frank—and it’s not to be missed.Keir Starmer Thumbnail Image Attribution: Number 10.
