Episode Details

Louise Haigh, ex-transport secretary, accuses a “cabal of men” in Keir Starmer’s inner circle of systematically undermining women through sexist press briefings and deliberate misinformation — a pattern she says targeted her and allies like Lisa Nandy, Bridget Phillipson, and Angela Rayner.
