Are we seeing the return of Cabinet Government?
About this episode
The episode discusses the legacy of James Callaghan's leadership and the potential return of Cabinet Government under Keir Starmer.
This month marks the fiftieth anniversary since James Callaghan became prime minister. There were many dramas punctuating his short rule in Number 10, but throughout the storms Callaghan showed skilfully how to manage his cabinets. Arguably his leadership marked the final phase of ‘Cabinet Government’, but is it now returning under Keir Starmer?
