  • Conservatives v Reform: Battle for the Right

    Conservatives v Reform: Battle for the Right
    Aug 15 2025
    Nigel Farage's Reform won more than 40% of seats at May's council elections. The Conservatives lost control of 16 English councils and won 20% of seats - one of the lowest proportions in the past two decades.

    How do the Tories make sure they keep right-wing voters at future elections?

    Beth talks to shadow chancellor, and former work and pensions secretary, Mel Stride on this episode about that challenge.

    He also talks about adapting to life on the opposition benches and why he believes Kemi Badenoch is the right leader for his party.

    Interview with Mel Stride recorded on July 15th.

    Is Corbyn’s comeback a headache for Starmer - or a red herring?

    Jeremy Corbyn's back - with Zarah Sultana and a new party. But is it a real threat to Labour, or just political theatre?

    This week Beth, Ruth and Harriet answer your questions on whether Corbyn's comeback could fracture the left and hand seats to the Tories and Reform.

    What does it mean for Starmer? Could the Green Party seize the moment? And is this a political headache - or just a red herring?

    Plus - your questions on rebuilding the Tory party, Scottish Labour and the elections north of the border next year, and we shout out the podcasts we can't stop listening to.

  • What happened when I quit the government

    What happened when I quit the government
    Jul 31 2025
    Anneliese Dodds sits down with Beth Rigby for her first long-form interview since stepping down from Labour's front bench.Reflecting on the party's first year in power, the former International Development Minister and Women and Equalities Minister reveals what happened the moment she decided to resign from Sir Keir Starmer's government - and the "uncomfortable" days she spent in the run up to telling the prime minister - who was otherwise engaged... sitting in the White House with Donald Trump.

    Dodds explains how difficult her decision was - partly due to her ingrained support for the government - she was once as close as you could get to the prime minister, his shadow chancellor in Opposition. But in this podcast, she gives her assessment on Labour's economic policy and makes the argument for more taxation.

    So, how does Dodds rate Labour's first year? And how can the government "change" for the better, going into its second year?
