    17 SEPT

    Can the Lib Dems Make Any Impact on a Landslide Government?

    The Lib Dems won 72 seats at the election. While this is an epic achievement, it will have little influence over a government with a commanding majority.

    10 SEPT

    Does the government need to be unpopular?

    Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are refusing to budge over the winter fuel payment saga – and both argue they are willing to be unpopular if the decision is the 'right one'.

Rock N Roll Politics is live at Kings Place on Oct 7... a lot going on by then. Tickets here  Please subscribe to Patreon for ad free podcasts a day early and bonus podcasts every month.

    27 AUG

    Do things have to get worse?

    In Keir Starmer’s first major speech as Prime Minister he argues things will get worse before they will get better… Is this the right message and approach? Why are incoming Labour governments so much more cautious than their Conservative equivalents?  Rock & Roll Politics is live at King’s Place London on Mon October 7.
