Keir Starmer must be credible on the economy - but lacks political direction.

Subscribe on YouTube

As Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver the budget on October 31st, Labour appears to be losing credibility on the economy. The announcement of changes to the winter fuel allowance “looks vindictive”, and the so-called “freebies scandal” has further damaged voter perceptions.

In this question and answer episode, a listener asks: who are Labour’s policies actually for?

Hannah Barnes, Rachel Reeves and George Eaton discuss this, as well as the forthcoming debate on assisted dying and the policies from Labour’s first hundred days in power which have gone unnoticed.
