About this episode

Keir Starmer returns to The Political Party in scintillating form. As well as sharing some hilarious stories, mainly about what his children say to him to keep him grounded, he talks openly about recent events, including his emotional trip to Ukraine to meet Volodmyr Zelensky. Keir is open about his strategy for changing the Labour Party and reflects on the decisions that led Labour to their current poll lead. The show it's a mix of serious politics and laugh out loud moments. Keir reacts to Nicola Sturgeon's resignation but also to THAT video of Dominic Raab eyeballing him in Parliament. It's an engrossing interview with a man on the verge of becoming Prime Minister.
