UK election results: Keir Starmer’s Labour reshuffle

Part one of a special double issue of the New Statesman podcast

As the dust settles on Keir Starmer’s mystifying reshuffle following the local elections, Stephen, Anoosh and Ailbhe discuss what’s really going on inside the party and what it means for Starmer’s leadership.


In an extended You Ask Us, they take on as many listener questions as possible from the deluge they received in the wake of the election results.
