Starmer’s dilemma in Trump and Putin’s shadow
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Can Britain afford both welfare and warfare? Beth takes us inside the row that could define Sir Keir Starmer's premiership.
From that huge Commons rebellion over welfare cuts to the looming pressure on defence spending, how can the government look after Britain at home, whilst holding the line abroad?
For this special episode, Beth speaks to the former chancellor Jeremy Hunt and ex-Labour welfare minister Jim Murphy.
Also, Ruth and Harriet ask whether anything has actually changed after the Trump-Putin Alaska summit and whether European leaders can make a difference after crowding into the White House this week?
Remember, you can also watch us on YouTube.
