About this episode

The episode discusses Keir Starmer's impending departure from Downing Street and features a wine tasting with guest James Lyons.

Keir Starmer is preparing to leave Downing Street — and Andy Burnham is waiting in the wings. James Lyons, Starmer's former Director of Strategic Communications, joins me to unpack what went wrong, what happens next, and whether Labour is about to open a very different political vintage. And in a Vintage Politics first, we'll be tasting our guest's own vintage wine in person — alongside the Prime Minister's favourite beer.
