  2. Will Starmer's reset make a difference?

    2 SEPT

    Will Starmer's reset make a difference?

    With Labour languishing in the polls, Keir Starmer has reshuffled his top team… yet again. His leadership has been punctuated by changes in senior personnel, so does that tell us more about him or them?  My book on Tony Blair is published next Thursday. You can pre-order it here.

  6. For all the storms, is Labour heading for a second term?

    12 AUG

    For all the storms, is Labour heading for a second term?

    The Labour government has endured a traumatic first year on many fronts, but its opponents are in different ways extremely vulnerable. If its opponents cannot win next time Labour will secure a second term, yet the mood music suggests a government in near fatal trouble...  Rock & Roll Politics is live at the Edinburgh Festival with a different show each day.

    29 JUL

    What does Britain get from 'The Special Relationship' with the US?

    Keir Starmer drops everything to meet Trump on the President's golfing holiday, but to what end? Post-war Prime Ministers, with two exceptions, assume Britain has a special relationship with the US, only to discover that the US has different views... Some context (our favourite word) for the co-operative!  Rock & Roll Politics is live at the Edinburgh Festival from Sunday August 10th. Time to make sense of it all. Tickets available here.
