Reeves goes for growth in the Treasury, Starmer takes to the world stage

Amol and Nick are back for Labour’s first week in government to
look at Rachel Reeves’ plan for growth and how Keir Starmer can
position himself on the world stage as he jets off for a Nato
summit in the US.


Plus, Nick is in Normandy to provide his assessment of what the
final round of the French elections might mean for Emmanuel
Macron’s political future.


And they answer listener questions – should 16-year-olds get the
vote and can politicians ever hold back the tides of change?
