'Build Baby Build': The new housing secretary, Steve Reed

Steve Reed was given the job of Housing Secretary as the result
of crisis, after the resignation of his close friend Angela
Rayner.


But he has been part of the inner circle preparing Keir Starmer's
rise to power from the beginning, having recruited the man who
ended up as the prime minister's Chief of Staff.


In this interview, he gives Nick a behind-the-scenes account of
coming to power and the "whirlwind" of an emergency reshuffle.


They also discuss how to reconnect with the voters, putting up
flags and who he'll have to fight to succeed in building the
homes that Labour has promised
