Labour’s Infinity War reignites – plus guest JOHN CRACE

53 minutes

Continuity Corbynism picks a fight with the Starmer Leadership in the aftermath of the antisemitism court settlement. Will anything ever end the party’s Left-Right Infinity War? Plus: Brace yourself for a “low quality, low profile” face-saving Deal with the EU. And special guest John Crace, the Guardian’s demob-happy parliamentary sketch writer, takes us through the highs (subs pls check) and lows of the Johnson Parliament so far.

“Starmer has proved a lot more ruthless than anyone expected as leader.” – Ros Taylor

“If Starmer’s made a mistake it’s treating Johnson like a ten-year old, when in fact Johnson’s more like a toddler.” – John Crace

“Keir Starmer, a former DPP, will have a fairly good idea of when a case ought to be stopped…” – Alex Andreou

“If people are on their knees, Boris Johnson’s buffoonish persona will not play well with them.” – John Crace
