Second Helpings - Keir Starmer

Jessie Ware
About this episode
We’re back with another trip down memory lane for our ‘Second Helpings’ series. It’s only been a year and what a difference it has been for our first guest - Prime Minister Keir Starmer! Last year Keir came round to mum’s for dinner and he told us all about his love of experimental cooking, his mum's jam sandwiches, eating fish & chips on the road, the controversy over his Desert Island Discs song choices and the tradition of Friday night shabbat with his family. We’ll be back next week for another Second Helpings episode with the Queen of Glastonbury 2024!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
