Many unhappy returns? Rishi Sunak one year in

Politico’s Dan Bloom joins the podcast team to weigh up Sunak’s first year in the job and assess his achievements and failures.

The podcast team take a look at Reeves’s ambitions and challenges – as well as an increasingly complicated party problem for Keir Starmer.
