The Tone Commandments
Description
Nothing says Elder Statesman like dumping publically on your party, its leader and its wannabe leaders in the midst of a crisis and weeks before a series of tricky by-elections.
And so to Tony Blair, a man so brim-full of his own wisdom that it took him 5,700 words plus a BBC interview to say Labour and its team is a bit, well, lefty for his liking.
Alex, Naomi and Kenny try to tease out the reasons for Blair's bombshell intervention, which comes as fellow New Labour traveller Gordon Brown is drafted in to help Starmer and the other fellow traveller, Peter Mandelson... never mind.
Plus the latest on the Tories, Greens, Lib Dems, and goings-on in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
All that and we still managed to do it in fewer than 5,700 words. Probably.
