What is Starmerism? Labour's first King's Speech

The News Agents

17-07-2024 • 39 mins

Keir Starmer promised "national renewal" in today's King's Speech, where he outlined his policy plans for the next parliament.

So did we get our first glimpse of what Starmerism might look like? Is the state back? And do we now have the most interventionist government for decades?

Later in the show we return to Milwaukee and the Republican Party National convention. Emily is there speaking to senior party figures and asking where all the traditional Republicans have gone, as Trump and his acolytes take over the GOP.
