The News Agents - Podcast készítő Global
Sir Keir Starmer is on a warpath. But not against the Tories but his own side. At least, what is nominally his own side. Starmer has poured petrol on the fire of the Diane Abbott imbroglio by deselecting several of his own left-wing candidates and MPs. Why is Starmer engaging in bloodletting in the middle of a general election campaign? Jon and Lewis discuss a party addicted to civil war.And we’re joined by the playwright of the moment, Jez Butterworth to discuss theatre, working with Harvey Weinstein, Baby Reindeer and his latest show, The Hills of California.Editor: Tom HughesSenior Producer: Gabriel RadusProduction: Abigail BrierleySocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersVideo Production: Rory Symon & Arvind BadewalYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The News Agents"!The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/https://store.global.com/collections/the-news-agents
