Much a-coup about nothing? Labour take all the wrong notes from the Tories

In This Episode

Are knives being sharpened by disgruntled MPs planning a coup against the PM? As Keir Starmer’s team dig in against a supposed threat to the Prime Minister from Health Secretary Wes Streeting – has the Tory-brand of Westminster psychodrama come back for a new series?

 

Meanwhile the BBC is under fire from the left, the right, the centre and the US president. Nish and Coco dig into an existential crisis for the public broadcaster.

 

And as COP30 kicks off in Brazil – can we rescue the 1.5C climate target? Alex Reid from Global Witness drops in to give us a reality check.

 

Later – as Robert Jenrick begins posting AI generated slop to attack his political rivals –  Coco speaks to the AI and Online Safety Minister Kanishka Narayan.
