“Messianic” Keir Starmer will need to upset a lot of people to rebuild the country, says Andrew Marr

Subscribe on YouTube

“I don’t think he’s a socialist”, says Andrew Marr, but Keir Starmer’s task as Prime Minister – to restore Britain – “is going to annoy a lot of people”.

Marr cites capital gains tax, council tax and inheritance tax as three areas where a Starmer government might need to make changes in order to succeed in their “essential” mission. He also suggests a “rebalance” of wealth from the South East to the Midlands and the North of England may cause consternation in Conservative England.

Andrew joins Hannah Barnes and Freddie Hayward on the New Statesman podcast, as Britain counts down to the UK general election on July 4th.
