Chris Mullin: The Starmer Government - The Interim Report

Chris Mullin

Former Labour minister and celebrated diarist Chris Mullin gives his take on the crisis engulfing British politics and looks at the way forward. 

British politics has never been more volatile. Governments are faced with a series of incompatible demands. An electorate which demands less tax and more public spending. A migration crisis to which there are no easy solutions. Struggling public services and spiralling public debt. And every day the flames are fanned by an unscrupulous tabloid media and a new breed of populist politicians who have no answers. Is there a way out?
