  • Keir Starmer: 'I beat myself up' about Mandelson
    Mar 27 2026

    Beth is in Helsinki with the Prime Minister for an exclusive interview for the podcast.

    Keir Starmer has said he "hates the fact" that he made a "mistake" over the appointment of Peter Mandelson.

    "I dwell on it. I beat myself up about it," he told Beth, who is accompanying him on a visit to Finland, where he is taking part in a leaders' summit.

    Beth also questions him about his relationship with Trump following disparaging comments the President made about Starmer's response to the Iran war.

    Plus, Beth, Harriet and Ruth react to the full interview.

  • Could Angela Rayner’s comeback rescue Labour?
    Mar 20 2026

    Angela Rayner has stepped back in the spotlight this week and straight into controversy.

    Her blunt intervention - warning the government is running out of time, criticising its record on “change” and calling parts of Labour’s immigration policy “un-British” - has sparked a big question: is Rayner simply saying what others are thinking, or going too far?

    Harriet certainly thinks it’s a bit much. She says Rayner’s approach could be undermining the government at a critical moment just weeks out from the May elections. Beth says Rayner's tax affairs could be sorted sooner than a lot of people thought.

    On the elections, Beth has been in Scotland speaking to Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar. Does he still think Starmer should resign?

    Plus, what support should the government be offering to help with rising energy costs because of the war in Iran? And can we even afford it as a country?
