Keir Starmer’s authority is under question following a humiliating series of U-turns and a restless parliamentary Labour Party. In this Westminster Insider interview, host Anne McElvoy talks to Maurice Glasman, the Labour peer, who’s seen as the godfather of “Blue Labour” and an influential voice within the Labour movement — with connections to the Trump administration in the U.S.

Glasman argues that Starmer has six months to make “significant changes” to his government following the debacle over the government’s welfare bill. They discuss the broader challenges confronting Labour after one year in office, the position of Chancellor Rachel Reeves and whether the prime minister can regain the confidence of his rebellious parliamentary party.
