Get an extra 10% off a year’s Patreon support – that’s 20% in total. Amid the rubble of last week’s elections, Keir Starmer announces he’s suddenly getting real and ready to win back voters. But is it all too little, too late – and after months of drift, will anyone believe him anyway?

He’ll be back to normal next time. • Questions for But Your Emails? Thoughts? Comments? Email us at ogwn@podmasters.co.uk.
