Oh God, What Now?

Can Starmer Get Back to the Future?

The Labour Party Conference is over – Keir Starmer glittered, but did he shine? We’ve got reaction from Labour MP Stella Creasy, Rock and Roll Politics host Steve Richards and The Trawl podcast’s Marina Purkiss. The panel also discusses the best political orators from the past and present. And in the extra bit for subscribers – what's the scary new appeal of the occult and the irrational?


“It was quite bizarre really to be somewhere so normal.” – Jacob Jarvis.

“It was an unremarkable speech and quite dull in places… but you know what – I do have a lot of time for that.” – Seth Thevoz
