0:19.8 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the Spectators Daily Politics Podcast. |
0:25.2 | I'm Max Jeffrey and I'm joined by Katie Bulls and James Forsyth. |
0:29.6 | So we retreated today to a nearly 12,000-word essay by Kirstama, The Road Ahead, |
0:35.6 | with quotes from Rahim Sterling, Mark Carney, and 10 principles |
0:39.9 | that he said the party would follow under his leadership. Katie, what did we learn? |
0:45.3 | Well, the essay was aimed at trying to set out and was the principles by which Kirstarma plans |

1:33.7 | to have as business has mentioned. As I say in this week's politics column, I think there is an effort |
1:38.5 | by Kirstama and his team to try and move away from the Corbyn era where it's seen as very |
1:43.3 | anti-business labour as a party |
1:45.1 | and to suggest that they are pro-business, still with caveats in the sense that they are |
1:50.2 | pro-businesses that help people and pro-businesses that treat their staff well. But I think |
1:55.7 | you can see Labour trying to find some ground in being pro-jobs and suggesting that the Tories have not made conditions |
