Labour’s Plan For Power: Starmer’s Brexit Dilemma is the fourth episode of a special new i podcast series looking at what Sir Keir Starmer’s party would do differently if it wins the next election. Hosted by Paul Waugh, i‘s chief political commentator, this is a four-part series that also covers the economy, the NHS and the north-south divide.
David Lammy, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, tells us: “The European Union is our number one priority… because I believe that our future prosperity and security is predicated on good relationships with our European partners.”
But former Cabinet minister Ed Balls says Labour needs to be more vocal on its plans. “Right now, I think not talking about our relationship is a problem. And not talking about how that fits with Britain's place in the world is a problem.”
And polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice has a warning: “What the party does need to understand…is that if indeed it is elected into office by a predominantly pro-EU electorate, it's then got to think about how it's going to best keep that electorate.”
Produced and edited by Julia Webster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to a brand new podcast from The i Paper! Paul Waugh examines a question on many voters' minds: ‘What would Labour actually do differently?’ This four-part series, Labour’s Plan For Power, is all about that question. While Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer have started to sketch out their plans for government, for some there is still a frustrating lack of answers for a party that is closer to government than it has been for 13 years. We will hear from former politicians, wonks, and those who will be sitting around the Cabinet table if Labour win the next election about their plans to fix Britain's crumbling public services. Take a listen to the trailer for a taste of what's to come. Keep an eye on Paul's commentary and exclusive stories from the series here: https://inews.co.uk/author/paul-waugh
