What Happens If Labour FAILS?! | Lord David Blunkett

It’s been a chaotic week for Labour, with rumours of internal plots, Downing Street briefing wars, and Budget u-turns.

This Friday, Lord Blunkett joins Jon in the studio to dissect what is going on inside Labour, how Starmer might get a handle on the situation, and save his premiership. #uk #ukpolitics #keirstarmer #starmer #labour #tonyblair #rachelreeves #economy #ukeconomy #downingstreet #conservatives #kemibadenoch #nigelfarage #reformuk #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #lewisgoodall 00:00 — Is Starmer in Serious Trouble? 04:01 — 2019→2024: Prep, Brexit & Covid Overhang 08:01 — Foreign Wins vs. Domestic Drift 12:02 — Who Runs No.10?
