About this episode

The episode explores whether Keir Starmer was a more significant change-maker than perceived, comparing his leadership to that of Tony Blair.

Keir Starmer takes a bow amidst much talk that he lacked a mission and sense of governing purpose… but what happens if we follow the policy trail rather than all the noise around his leadership? In some respects he was more boldly radical than Tony Blair in his first two years as prime minister.
