Hello, it's Beth here and what a summer treat I have for you, because Parliament's out for August, but we're still going on ED and we've got some special episodes.

So today I want to take you inside Labor's first year

of government under Kirstearner with someone incredibly close to the Prime Minister. For those of you

who don't know Annalise Dodd, she started in this government as the Minister for International

Development and Minister for Women and Equality before this dramatic moment in February.

Breaking news, the government minister, Annalise Dodds,

has written to the Prime Minister to resign her position

as International Development Minister,

also Minister for Women and Equality,

saying that she disagrees with the government's decision to cut

overseas aid. And if that didn't hurt enough, her resignation had a particular sting because of how

close she was to Kirstama. She is to Kirstama. She was his closest ally, his shadow chancellor

for a year before Rachel Reeves got the post. So this is a special

interview with Annalise Dodd. She's now a backbench Labour MP and because she doesn't do a lot of

long-ranging chats like this, we're going to use this time to reflect on Labour's first year

in power. We want her to lift the curtain on what goes on behind the scenes.

And what actually happens when you resign from government?

I should say, if you're not watching this on YouTube,

Annalise has come dressed in the magenta of electoral dysfunction.

I think Harriet Harmon, when she watches this

on YouTube, will be very approving of that. I do remember actually there was, was it the 2015

election campaign when Harriet Harmon had her bus? Do you remember this, Anne Lee's? I do.
