Summary

Today, we relive a week in the life of Keir Starmer.

Adam and Paddy are joined by Politics Live presenter Jo Coburn, to discuss the Prime Minister’s movements this week - and what they tell us about the direction he may lead his government in when Parliament returns. What can we expect from October’s budget? Why has Keir Starmer taken aim at smoking areas? And could the Labour government take lessons from Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign?
