On the campaign trail: Is Keir Starmer a socialist?
This week, three Corbynites found themselves at the mercy of the Labour leader’s wrath. Two deselected, one on the brink. There’s a growing consensus that Starmer was hoping to rid the party of socialists before the general election. So do we believe him when he describes himself as one?

Customer Reviews
Politics as entertainment
A joy to listen to while getting worthwhile political analysis.
They’ve been accused of sounding like a 6th form common room which, having gone through a foreign educational system, I am not familiar with but now feel like I’ve missed out on.
Part News Commentary, Part Workplace Psychodrama.
This show constantly delivers.
I can’t tell if they’re actually mates or if they are just waiting for the chance to stab each other.
🥱
Huge amount of studenty giggling and ‘bants’. Tediously pro-Starmerites who fail to bring up that he’ll continue to sell weapons to Israel if/when he becomes PM; anyone who disagrees with this foreign policy are definitely extreme leftists.
