YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“It’s very rare now to find somebody in private in Westminster who is defensive about the government.”

Starmer’s recent behaviour during the Mandelson vetting scandal and Olly Robbins’s testimony “undermined” his support in parliament, says editor in chief of the New Statesman Tom McTague.

Tom McTague and Sarah Olney MP were speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every Monday-Thursday from 6am-10am.
