Why Starmer failed - and what Burnham needs to get right

from The News Agents

On the day that Keir Starmer prepares to hand over the reins to the King of the North, Westminster is still reeling from the murder of Ann Widdecombe. This Friday, Jon sits down with Labour MP Sarah Sackman, a close friend and ally of Starmer, to reflect on his legacy and the mistakes that defined his premiership. What does Andy Burnham need to do to get Labour back on track? And has politics in Britain become too dangerous for those who serve in public life? The News Agents is a Global Production.
