What now for Starmer? The Middle East. Education, finance and the Welsh civil service. And a leader interview

from Sunday Supplement · host BBC Radio Wales

After another difficult week for the Prime Minister, the Times' Patrick Maguire discusses his position. The ceasefires continue but what is happening with talks to end the hostilities in the Middle East? We have international peace negotiator Nomi Bar Yaakov on the programme. Education is fully devolved yet little has been said about it during the Senedd campaign. Lucy Crehan from the Centre for Education Systems and the general secretary of the teaching union UCAC talk about the new curriculum for Wales. Most parties claim to have fully costed manifestos, but are their financial plans workable? Guto Ifan from the Wales Governance Centres takes us through the figures. Des Clifford is a former civil servant and has published a booklet called Slouching Toward Cardiff Bay. He's with us to discuss the past 27 years of devolution and the challenges ahead for the next Senedd.And in the last in our series of leader interviews, Labour's Eluned Morgan joins us.
