Keir Starmer (Sir Kid Starver) Targets the Poor, PLUS Why Mhairi Black Is Quitting | Pod Save The UK

Описание: Nish and Coco ask “what’s going on with Labour?” Sir Keir Starmer caused consternation within his own ranks, by saying he wouldn’t abolish a two-child limit on claiming some benefits - a Tory policy that many of his front bench colleagues have condemned. Nish and Coco wonder why politically tough decisions only ever seem to target the poorest in society.

SNP MP Mhairi Black tells Nish and Coco about dodging falling masonry, sociopaths and bullies in the corridors of Westminster - part of the reason she’s quitting at the age of 28.

We also have a handy guide to three crucial by-elections. Plus why you should never accept a plum from Coco - or invite her to a picnic!
