Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode
the utterly baffling world of political language.

This week, Starmer has suggested that Britain adopt a 'Build,
Baby, Build' strategy. Sound familiar? We thought so too, so
Helen and Armando are looking at why politicians copy their
opponents. Is it a sign of strength or weakness, and do the
public think it sounds convincing?

Listen to Strong Message Here every Thursday at 9.45am on Radio 4
and then head straight to BBC Sounds for an extended episode.
