Politics on the Couch

Is this what hope feels like? Rafael Behr's reflections on Labour's 2024 victory


Listen Later

In this summer bonus episode, Raf and (producer) Phil discuss the changing mood around British politics since Labour's election victory, the restoration of seriousness after years of triviality, why some people can't adapt, why others want to believe that Keir Starmer can deliver the change he has promised and whether they are right.
