Alastair Campbell on the changing face of Starmer’s Labour

In a week where shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves echoed Margaret
Thatcher when outlining her vision for the UK economy, we ask, is
Labour ready for government?


Amol is joined by The Rest is Politics’s Alastair Campbell to
talk about Reeves’ speech and whether Labour leader Sir Keir
Starmer has done enough to signal what his government could look
like.


Pollster Kelly Beaver, chief executive of Ipsos Mori, unpacks
whether Keir Starmer appeals to people enough to win the
election.


And voice of University Challenge, Roger Tilling, swings by to
help Amol out whilst Nick’s away and gives us his moment of the
week.
