The Winter Of Discontent 2.0
The worst concurrence of public service strikes since the 70s is rocking the Government’s authority. Does the Government’s refusal to talk look too unreasonable, and can Labour maintain its own precariously tough line? Plus NHS reform is back on the agenda. What does Steve Barclay have in store? And a whistle stop tour of what’s coming up in 2023.
Our special guest today is Rachel Sylvester, columnist and interviewer at The Times.
“These strikes just add to the impression that Rishi Sunak is losing his grip and the Government is losing control.” – Rachel Sylvester
“The Government’s line that its hands are tied by the pay review bodies is pretty disingenuous.” – Nick Davis
“Most voters, if they had to choose between a politician and a nurse, will back the nurse.” – Rachel Sylvester
Presented by Alex Thomas with Nick Davis and Nick Timmons. Audio production by Alex Rees and Robin Leeburn. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG.
