Starmer vs. The Media – Can Labour handle the press? – with guest Adam Boulton

• Go here to get tickets for Oh God, What Now? live at the Comedy Store on Tue 10 Dec.

Starmer’s still under media pressure over the Swiftgate/freebie scandal, he just can’t shake it off… (I'll get my coat). Should Labour give up on getting a fair crack from Britain’s media – and how much are the problems the party’s own fault? Broadcaster and ex-Sky News political editor Adam Boulton joins us to talk about Labour vs the media and the seismic changes engulfing the news business. Plus in the Extra Bit for backers, Wes Streeting asked the public for ideas to improve the NHS and got suggestions like beer on tap to improve “patient morale”. Is it ever worth asking the public for ideas?
