20 Questions With Neil Kinnock

The former Labour leader gives his views on patriotism, Keir Starmer, the upcoming Budget, inequality, child poverty, raising taxes, the left behind, the future of British manufacturing, charisma in politics, the survival of the Tory Party, Nigel Farage, populism, Donald Trump, proportional representation, the legacy of Thatcherism, and what it was like facing Margaret Thatcher at the despatch box. In an emotional moment towards the end, Kinnock weeps as he remembers his late wife, Glenys, Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead. 

(Note in reference to mention of Nigel Farage's plans for mass deportations, there was uncertainty about exactly which people illegally in Britain the Reform leader was referring to, and he made clear he didn't want a repeat of the Windrush scandal).
