A look at the language of the first year of the Labour government.

This week, Helen and Armando look back at a year of the Labour
government. What language has come out of if, and why is it
struggling to define itself?

Looking at phrases from the year, like "The tepid bath of managed
decline" and "National Health Recovery Mission Champions", does
their language connect, and are their opponents any better?

Strong Message Here will be back on Radio 4 in September, but
subscribe to BBC Sounds to hear Helen and Armando over the summer
in Strong Message Here: Strong Recommend; a series of short
episodes with their language-based cultural recommendations.
