In the first of our weekly summer episodes, Natalie Higgins asks what Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves got so wrong with their proposed welfare changes as Labour approach one year in government.
Natalie is joined by former Number 10 strategist John McTernan, women’s rights campaigner and commentator Talat Yaqoob and the BBC’s Phil Sim.
And with Content Creators and Influencers calling for their work to made “legitimate”, we ask what makes a ‘real’ job?
